Transfer Rumours Saint Cody!

We're not yolking around this summer

 

Is it albu-meant to be?

 

I can’t shake the feeling that some twats like Everton are going to gazing us at the last minute.

 

It will certainly ruffle a few feathers if we can get this done

 

Yeah I’m far from convinced he joins, just hopeful we have at least one player lined up to come in. Or the Tom curse has struck again

 

I believe he is our primary target!

 

That would be utterly depressing. Trying to be objective, we are probably a better prospect in football terms right now.

 

**** off leeds

 

If we get this deal done it would be the most delicious of icings on the biggest of cakes. It would be an absolute stunner of a transfer window.

 

This is going to the wire I reckon.

 

Viktor Tsygankov has the same agent as Gakpo. Dinamo Kiev player is seen as a very serious reinforcement for PSV. Wait and see if this works.

 

Southampton are still working on a deal for PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo despite their impending arrivals.

The Athletic has reported that Southampton are close to signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Arsenal on loan with an option to buy, while they are also confident of bringing in Manchester City youngsters Samuel Edozie and Juan Larios.

Southampton will, however, only consider a deal for Gakpo if it remains reasonable and are not willing to overstretch themselves in pursuit of the 23-year-old.

The Athletic has previously reported that Manchester United had considered a move for Gakpo. The Old Trafford club have, though, reached an agreement to sign Ajax forward Antony.

Southampton have already signed players this summer, with Armel Bella-Kotchap, Romeo Lavia, Joe Aribo, Sekou Mara, Gavin Bazunu and Mateusz Lis all joining Ralph Hasenhuttl’s squad.

Gakpo came through the ranks at PSV and made his senior debut in 2018. He has gone on to play 143 times for the Dutch side, scoring 46 goals.

Last season, he managed an impressive 21 goals in 46 games across all competitions. The Netherlands international has begun this campaign in much the same vein, netting four times in his first eight matches.

Following their 2-1 win over Chelsea on Tuesday, Southampton are back in action on Saturday when they travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

 

Just waiting for our resident Chicken Man Rik to give the all clear …

 

I've re-read this post several times but I can't find a reference to eggs or chickens anywhere. Maybe a Twat is a type of chicken or it's that red thing on top of their heads?

 

British sources report that #saintsfc is currently willing to pay £30million (and some extras) for Gakpo. Would be a record buy for Southampton. No confirmation yet that PSV will accept it. It remains exciting for now.
