First rumour I have read with option to buy.... Saints are set to secure Walker-Peters on loan, with talks continuing over whether the deal will include a £12m option to buy. (Mail)
One of their fans blogs says obligation to buy. A risk if true based on our more recent scouting success but wish him luck all the same.
£6m for Cedric is too big a risk for me. Yes, he will leave for free at the end of the season. But we are already really short at RB and we don't want to be dragged back into the relegation zone for the sake of £6m.
Not sure about the content of the article - I thought we only paid about £4m for him in the first place. Im probably wrong and highlighting my laziness at not bothering to check.
We won't be able to replace him with an equal or better player in this window for 8m. Plus it's more in his interests to wait a few months and go for free in the summer where he can command greater wages/signing on bonus
I wouldn’t mind this loan-buy if vallery was coming through and he is thought to be the future. But it doesn’t look like that’s the case.
Don't think it's been confirmed by the club but I'd seen talk Val has glandular fever. If that's true he's out most of the season to play.
Ah of course. I did see that but forgot. I like what I’ve seen of him. If walker peters is a steady hand to come in while vallery gets better and up to speed I’m ok with that.
It may be that we end up with Valery and KWP competing for the position next season after Cedrics left.
Which would be sound actually. Val has the talent to be first string for us at our current level and KWP is good competition and also flexible enough that he can play both sides depending on need.
Is G-fever really hard to diagnose? Because if that explains his prolonged absentee, then he's been a little hung out to dry.
