CONFIRMED: Saints sign Mateus Fernandes

40 million plus is hardly full disclosure but hopefully will negate some of the more extreme anti SR rhetoric.

 

When you think Spurs are signing 22 year old Xavi Simons for a package that's only 10m north of that (and he's a far more developed and accomplished player, plus a match winner) it puts the fee in context. It's a good deal.

 

Yeah, including the fee is unusual but they're clearly aware of the mood of the fanbase and are trying to manage the narrative. That's fine. The fee is good. I'd like 2 or 3 more players out of the door but even if that doesn't happen they've done a very good job on outgoings this summer.

 

Got to remember he was only here in one relegation battle season, always thought he would go( too good for championship) and considering there appears only West Ham interested…..it’s a good fee.

 

I thought he was fed up losing all the time ! ?

 

Brilliant. The only player we had who actually tried has gone.

**** him
**** West Ham
**** SR
