Transfer Rumours Saint Nicolas! (no, not that one)

He has told Villarreal to Beat it!

 

Now, if only we could get Danjuma on loan as part of the deal.

 

Shamone!

He's a real Speed Demon apparently

 

They obviously see something in him, and other PL clubs too apparently. £18m is huge money (for us anyway).

Wolves had a bid for him rejected this Summer apparently, he obviously has showed something to attract interest from Saints, Wolves and others.

All we can do is hope the club have found a gem. I'm sure he does well in Ankersen's metrics!

 

And of course, we will all give him time and not be impatient if the metrics appear off initially.....

 

Whilst I was one of the few that actually called out the ridiculous way some fans treated Jones - I think this is a bit different.

We should only be looking at players that we expect to make an immediate impact and hit the ground running. We aren't in a position to give anyone a few months to settle. Not Jackson's fault of course, but it is our reality.

 

He played a decent cameo in the pre season match against us, although anyone could moonwalk through our defence.

 

I’m hearing part of his contract negotiations are he needs every Christmas off.


It’s part of a Santa clause in his contract

 

I'm excited, but also concerned.

I wouldn't want him to be the only forward who we bring in between now and the end of the month. But given the size of the fee (which is quite substantial for us), I do fear that he might be.

 

I’m not sure we know the full extent of our budget and what is now a substantial fee for us. Apparently we were going to go to 30-35m for Gakpo.

 

FROM (Villa)real, surely?

 

Doesn't sing right in my head.

 

If the €18Million is to be believed then that is only over £15 million. We don't know how they'd structure the payments either. I'd imagine that would include a clause that I'd we stay up then you get the extra £3Million too.

 

If you're no good then we are really ****ed
You have joined a broken football club

 

I would assume (no real knowledge on this one) that to get Saints from a loan to a permanent transfer in the region of 20m, mid-season, that Villarreal have agreed to a fairly heavily-structured payment on the deal. If so we might be spending about £6m now with the other £6m due in a year or so and the rest contingent on performance bonuses.

In which case, no reason to believe they wouldn't still pursue a central forward.

 

Jackson works well in a 5

 

And if it goes wrong though who do we blame?

Sunshine?

Moonlight?

Good Times?

 

Boogie.
