I heard the UK Gov were interested in a loan. They had heard he was similar to a cruise liner and wanted to resurrect their Ferry deal. They thought he'd be right up their alley. Oo er.
From memory we have Cedric, Yoshie and Long all leaving in the summer on free's if we don't sell them in January so would be surprised to see all three leave for nominal fee's next month. If we can flog Ely and FF to Celtic too then we should have enough money to buy a CB plus another
Sadly I have a horrible feeling that if we sell anyone, the money goes into Gao’s pocket, as he’s throwing his toys out that we overspent in the summer (we spent rather than generated the money from player sales. He wants that recouped).
Best for everybody if we can sell FF and El to Celtic, but I doubt we’d get much for them because it’s Celtic. The whole ownership issue has been quiet for a little while now after hearing that about Kat trying to buy Gao out. Anyone heard any updates on what’s going on?
Sadly if your feeling comes true then Gao has upped his odds on owning a team in the championship and not one in the premier league.Then our value plummets.
Well all the indications are that he wants it to be self sustainable, much like KL before him. Would make sense if that is his attitude.

He needs to be playing regularly and I suspect he won't get that much time in the first team here in the future, good luck to him whatever it has in store.
It was only the fact that we didn’t replace Fonte that Yoshida got so much playing time. Letting him go (without adequate replacement) was a terrible mistake.
I feel a little sorry for anyone who is F5ing this page already. Its going to be a long January for them.
Talking to some Leeds friends - they have a CB loaned from Brighton, Ben White, who they brought in to replace Jansen. 22 and been their player of the season so far.
I saw a report about us chasing a young Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo. https://www.teamtalk.com/news/southampton-watford-to-rival-ac-milan-for-barcelona-defender
