Transfer Rumours Summer transfer rumours 2023

If we lose Che and don’t sign a replacement I don’t see us being top 6 in January.

 

It’s what Russell Martin said when Tino left. And Bree didn’t even make the bench of the first game of the season and was awful in the cup match. I don’t think Martin rates Bree at all and he could potentially go out on loan late in the window if there is any interest

 

What about the rumour on Ugly Inside that Lavia could be returning to Saints on loan for a year if he doesn’t settle at Chelsea. Anyone think it might happen - I don’t

 

The post you are replying to did not mention losing Che at all …

 

Surely he will be given at least 6 months to settle. It is more like a potential option for next season if he doesn’t settle AND we get promoted. It is just nonsense based on him not making the bench of the first game after he joined

 

I was very much calculating that on not losing Ché

 

I believe that talk was started by ex Chelsea player Glen Johnson, who said he could see it as good playing time if he doesn't break into the Chelsea first team.

Personally I think he will be fine at Chelsea

 

Was that reply to me ?

 

My source on Che says he defo isn’t going to Everton. Their offer to him isn’t as good as Saints new contract offer and they can’t afford the fee down payment.
Would have considered Bompey but they would pay the fee. He is settled in the area and has a new young family.
The only threat is potentially Palace who are sniffing around as he wouldn’t have to move the family

 

That's not a rumour. That was an opinion by Glen Johnson that a loan move might materialise, and the rags picked up on it and ran it as clickbait.

 

Doku gone to City for £55m, swear we were linked with him in the past

 

That was his sister, Sue

 

It’s no Brussel scout but I still enjoyed it

 

Nothing will ever match that !

 

I thought it was upper class uncle, the Count

Disappointing not to sign him, to be honest. Partciualry if we now lose Che.

Hopefully we'll keep Che and this won't matter.

 

Let's hope that Che sees it as a "Challenge", stays with Saints and outscores him over the season.

 

Sounds like we were never really 'in' for him. Possibly a candidate if Ché had left by now.

But, between Russ comparing Arma's traits to Piroe's and then us not making a bid at any stage, it seems like we just didn't feel like he was what we needed. Maybe explains the Stewart/Shankland links (as they're definitely a different type of striker).
