    Ah, so we're back to being played by our many underhanded players, then. Heh, we're a leaf afloat on the breeze, lacking all agency of our own.

    Not played. But if he's chosen Spurs, then he's chosen Spurs and there is nothing we can do about it.

    Hytner says Saints lack the will of Toby because he's decided he prefers Spurs - due to London location, direct flights to Deurne, Belgian teammates and longer history of European football.

    I have lost a bit of respect for TA here. Anyone who wants to play for Twatchetino is a bellend.

    Oh well, at least we pissed everyone off for a while, that's the spirit.

    So that's that then. Unless Les pulls an absolute worldy.

    Oh for gods sake. I have absolutely no issues with Toby or Spurs over this. It's those dickheads from Madrid who I'm angry with.

    Is it just me or does there seem to be a desire to blame the club for its actions going on here? Quite a desperate attempt given that (as far as I can recall) the only factual things we know about the situation are that Les Reed is in Spain and that we had a strange contract (no-one knows the exact detail) with AM.

    We had what amounted to a year-long exclusive negotiation period where Spurs weren't even in the picture in which we could have acted.

    Article seems a bit odd to me, how does anyone actually know about the flights back home stuff? I doubt Toby would tell anybody that, and I doubt he'd pick a club over it either.

    Come on. Madrid can't force him to want to play for Southampton. We don't have direct flights to Nowhereville, Belgium.

    No, he's negotiated Felipe Luis as our compensation.

    At the end of the day, Toby has made his choice and I can understand his reasoning (if as reported). I think he seems a decent chap so fair enough, we move on.

    Hopefully we have a replacement already lined up. As Beefy mentioned we are expecting one more signing this week. Could that be it?
