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

 

Yeah, but Matty. You're going to West Ham ffs.

 

Aaah, that would truly be le creme de menthe

(Worth a flutter though. They're one of the worst performing teams up there!)

 

I just don't see it. Even if they have an awful season, they've still likely got the quality to stay up. Bit like Wolves last season.

 

Yeah now the deadline is almost here the promoted teams still look way behind on paper

 

never change Lincs

 

Still think at least one will stay up.

Charity bet?

 

sure

 

Shane Long must have been your all time favourite Saints player then!

 

Score?

 

Sounds good to me
