Oh well, bang up with the latest news, confirmed we've agreed a fee: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34115519
Monk on Saintsweb has just posted this: The deal is done and dusted. It was in the final process since yesterday. Concerned with the sell on % fee that Celtic have included.
Nice. So we get, maybe, 3 solid years out of him. Then he starts to play up, and we lock him away to squeeze a 4th year out of him, and then we sell at a profit. Fine.
Is it a 15% sell on clause? Not too bad considering no club will now sell to us without inserting a similar clause.
You do realise that, if you saunter over there, when you come back you have to knock to be let in again.? We have to check you for dirty boots and naughty things.!
By the time 5 years are up we'll be looking to retain the Champions League. He won't want to leave and so we won't need to worry about the sell on clause.
I try not to go over there but when there are transfers involved they do have some good ITK's (or seem to be) so I always have a peep. Annoying all the rubbish you have to wade through to find them though. Is it a secret knock?
Nice bunch of completely randomly-generated bunch of numbers there from Sky to display their pre-decided outcome. Incidentally, each scale looks like it makes up 100% of the points available. How come each scale's total available points tally adds up to a completely different number? Am I missing something?
One of Groningen's directors has just announced it. Says he got a nice text from Ronald Koeman and wishes VVD the best in Southampton with both Koeman brothers and also Dušan Tadić.
