They seem to be spending a fair bit so far, obviously had the big sale of Bellingham as well. At least they are shopping in the next tier up to what we were doing
When I see things like this, I just get the feeling the parents are chasing the money. Thats my opinion
Allegedly turned us, Birmingham and Sheff Utd down to move to Turkey with Samsunspor. Sounds like bollocks as who would turn down Birmingham?
HELP. This piece twice makes reference to Matsuki having spent time in Holland. But he was in Turkey, right? It even quotes Still as saying Holland. Bizarre! https://www.sportupdates.co.uk/southampton-still-shares-first-impressions-of-quarshie-and-matsuki/
Club Brugge look like they’ll be receiving about £60m from selling Jashiri to Milan and Talbi to Sunderland. Maybe they will use £10m or something of that on Edozie
I would be pleasantly surprised if we sign any more players between now and the start of the season. At least two in every position in the squad atm
One more was supposed to be coming regardless but there have been few rumours. Wonder if there will be a flurry of activity between the start of the season and the transfer window closing. Not a fan of that but it always happens and doesn’t seem likely to change
Yeah even before anyone leaves we are after a 'creative midfielder' still. Then after that it might just be a case of replacing those that need replacing of the players that leave (not all will need replacing), and then perhaps just jumping on any good opportunities to bring in quality that might appear as the window progresses, and those are the sorts of deals that will probably happen towards the end of the window.
Im fully expecting that to happen, as it always does. As I’ve mentioned loads of times loans are key this season, and players will know more about pecking order at clubs and be open to a loan. Plus it will he decision time for players like Dibling/Fernandes and buying clubs coming up with an acceptable bid. Players might start kicking off about not getting moves later in the window as well
Sunderland linked to Ramsdale. Surely he turns them down if only to avoid another potential relegation on his CV.
