    We of course don't know for certain, which I said in the post. I think this sort of thing happens alot more than people think though imo.

    If it's true (which it may be) I hope he got it in writing. :) He said recently that Saints don't sell cheap, so I guess he predicted the present situation.

    I know we wouldn't go that low, but if it becomes clear Man U or Arsenal aren't going to offer, I feel sure we would sell him to Spurs for, say, £20m. Those bastards always get what they (or we) want.

    Morgan has said in interviews that Southampton will let him leave for a fair price and he seemed happy with that.
    Of course that fair price of say £25m might not seem too fair to Morgan as time ticks on. He might consider the rumored bid of £20m from united to be more his worth and might potentially make things difficult, which is probably what united are hoping for.
    Still they've finally finished the transfer of Darmian from Torino, so their negotiating team can recommence with Saints

    Morgan seems chilled...perhaps he thinks there is still plenty of time. Or perhaps he knows he will be sold next year....as long as he doesn't sign any suspicious bits of paper shoved in front of him by Les Reed. :)

    Manure closing in on Schweinsteiger, according to Sky. What will this mean for Morgan? Sounds like they've messed both Saints and Morgan around. Only one thing for it, stay with us.

    Maybe, but it looks like Schweinsteiger was always their first choice, so he'll have a big decision to make as he will want to be in the French team for the euros, and he may not be first choice at manure with Scweinsteiger and Carrick etc.

    They definitely have the resources, potentially they could stall a year and get Morgan for less next summer and get one more year out of Carrick.

    Of course that's bargaining on no one else coming in.

    I'd love him to stay, to me he is what makes the team tick. I don't think he will but we shall see.

    I don't want to dream of a midfield of:

    Wanyama
    Schneiderlin
    Clasie

    Signing Bastian, would mean very little chance of Morgan being a main stay in United and with Manure dithering.. maybe he he thinks staying at saints is better for his career than sitting on the bench!

    Let's not forget that Morgan regulary makes the french squad now.

    It's like what Ron said; it's important for every player to have a good pre season, and I think Morgan is aware of that.

    He has worked so hard to break into the French team, I do hope he makes a good decision this summer.

    Koeman admitting our interest in Clasie and the club closing in on two targets.:emoticon-0126-nerd:
    Just to annoy everyone, that midfield could be a reality for a week or two <laugh>

    Not sure Clasie will come unless Schneiderlin goes, which is understandable.

    Dude seems to really like RK, though. So I think he will come cheap. And to be honest, as much as I love Schneiderlin, it is getting to the point where I'm more excited about Clasie (plus maybe 10m) than MS possibly staying.

    I honestly think Wanyama and Clasie could be a better pairing.

    Schneiderlin is the best ball winner in Europe and good on the ball. He's in a different league altogether to Clasie.

    Best ball winner in Europe - now that is some statement. I might argue he isn't even the best in Southampton with big vic in town
