Schalke and Roma should be more appealing than Southampton to any player, no offence to us. The fact that we are a prime candidate to land Clasie surely points out that he really want to come here and work with Koeamn again.

Also, Dutch media reporting that he will be on a 27k a week salary. He could get more if he signed for Bolton or such. :D

Also sometimes we underestimate the gravity of the Premier League too.
 
Not for Saints no, but if it was one of the top 6 then there would be a reporter outside St Marys, Staplewood and one disguised as a pot plant in the corner of Les's office.

I know, I've seen those reporters on deadline day...

"And now over to Ron at Old Trafford. Is something going on over there Ron?"

"I've just seen a Range Rover enter the car park. I'm getting reports in my ear now that...yes...hold on...it seems it's the catering manager's husband giving her a lift to work."

Let's speak to Ron at Old Trafford for some important breaking news. What's happening Ron?

I'm getting reports from sources that United haven't bid for anyone today and don't intend to do any deals. It's not confirmed yet but it's exciting news.

Well that truly is remarkable! We'll go back to Ron as soon as we get confirmation of this amazing breaking news. Oh by the way Messi has signed for Saints on a five year deal. Now over to Stamford Bridge........

Media reports are often contradictory, but at least give you the feeling stuff is going on. We know they are working like beavers at SMS, but be nice to see them breach water occasionally. Give us a few matchsticks to build our dam with. Foreign reports just don't carry the same verisimilitude.

I looked it up. I learned a new word today :)

Reliable guy in dutch football media saying d-day for us with Schalke and other clubs waiting in the wings.

Get it done Les!

This will be the 'mild peril' part the media like to enter into the story towards the end. It's like the third act tension. Means it's almost done. As long as there's not a fourth act twist in this one...
