Transfer Rumours Saint Cody!

Yep, I'm going to bed. Proper deadline day saga this is turning into. I blame the early creation of this thread.

 

It will come down to the player

 

Would obviously be nice to get him but hopefully we don’t end up with no one in an attacking sense (other than the city youngster)

Would be pretty gutting to be gazumped by Leeds at the last moment when he seemed to be really low down their list and much higher on ours

 

Gakpo’s just waiting for Tom to go to sleep.

 

Is he any good though? Which of our existing players would he replace?
That’s a genuine question as I have never seen him play!

 

If Leeds are truly reliant on Dan James leaving ... and with that not currently happening, I wonder if we have the balls to say to PSV - "Accept us now because if you wait for Leeds and they can't come up with the money, we're gone"

It would force their hand and also give Gakpo a lot to think about

 

Don't really understand this, But seems like there is a plane heading from Amsterdam to Southampton early hours tomorrow.

 

Lock this thread, all we can do now is Jinx it.

 

Eredivisie player of the year.

12 goals and 13 assists in 27 games. Fast, tall and strong.

No guarantees he can make the step up but he is very very good in Holland

 

Thank god the window shuts tonight. I just know this will drag on into ‘deal sheet’ territory but at least it will all be over by tomorrow.

 

Good morning. No clear first sounds from PSV about the state of affairs regarding the selection. In any case, last night a sale of Gakpo was still not final. It initially looked like it, but so far no confirmation has come in that he is actually leaving.

Let the watching-a-stationary-plane-in-Eindhoven-that-may-or-not-be-related commence!

 

Yes, in the Dutch league. Our scouts think so, and that’s good enough for me. Would play in Adarma’s position.

 

.....he was anonymous v Rangers last week!

 

You ever tried to sleep with Gak still around?

 

Would hope we have a couple of back up plan’s. Leaving it this late and being the last 16 hours I’m sure Southampton have contacted his agent, and if it’s a no, we’ve hopefully moved on to a new target. We’ve obviously got the budget for a very good striker, so whatever happens with Gakpo, it’s going to be a busy day. Would imagine Leeds only beat us to this signing by offering bigger wages?

 

Well, the private plane that everyone was watching just updated its flight information...

 

That’s my favourite chat-up line.

 

Hopefully some good karma for us for treating Bordeaux right. Either that or Van Nistelrooy tells him anywhere but Leeds.

If he does go to Leeds, man I hope he’s dreadful.

 

No Gakpo on the flight. Leeds director “flying back on his own”.

 

This is seriously quality transfer saga stuff.

Also, that flight is the 7th-most tracked in the world currently.
