It's still almost definitely bullshit. Look at the source: it's Samuel Pain, the random City fan who made up the rumour in the first place, with zero attribution to any credible source.

The source isn't just Samuel Pain, it's a genuine Polish Journolist.
 
Speculation in the replies of player trading.

Pick up on a free, loan out to pay wages and hope loan performances impress for a small sale and he never actually plays for saints, but could make us a few million.
Don’t know if Brentford have practised this tactic?

...who got it from Samuel Pain. Follow the chronology:

Mr. Pain posts this on the 20th of May:

A few days later, a Polish paper publishes it in their rumours section, as a question:

It then gets picked up by Southampton FC Updates:

Another Polish journalist then says (translated) that:

"There are more and more indications that one of them will be Mateusz Lis, who in the nearest window will be the hero of one of the most surprising transfers, if we are talking about players from Poland."

Again, with no indication of source.


Is it possible that it's true? Sure. Is there anything in that chain where any individual actually suggests that they have a credible source, rather than this being a nonsense rumour that got laundered until it was "a lot of people are saying!"? No.

Alot of smoke, Without any fire! that's all i'm saying. It's not so random either that it would be made up, And it's not like we had any links to him previous to this window.

But generally there's a whole lot of smoke in transfer windows, most of which is just that...all smoke, no fire. Usually it's much harder to trace it back to its point of origin though; this one is so left-field that there's a clear chain of custody leading back to a random young City fan whose Twitter account is less than three weeks old.
 
We won’t sign Nick Pope, he will be too expensive. Still expect the GK we sign to be Dragowski
 
A workmate of mine who supports Forest just messaged me that they are signing Broja. Not sure what his ITK credentials are

He’s had a successful loan at a lower table club so why would he move to a newly promoted club?

If he’s not staying with us then a move somewhere like villa, Newcastle or wet spam would be the next logical step.
