    We arent competing with Saudi money. Ultimately if a player chooses to go and play in a Sunday morning league for cash so be it, they probably aren't the right fit for what we want to do.

    Oh well. Didn't know who he was a couple of weeks ago, and within a year, NOBODY will know who he is.

    We'll have other targets.

    Like others have said I'd never heard of him a week ago and didn't even think we needed a new keeper.

    But now I have and now I do.

    I'm absolutely gutted by this. Feels like a punch to the stomach. Was never even our player ffs.

    To get over it I need a few more solid links now.

    The only ones I'd count as actually solid are Diarra and Reinildo and as far as we know they're both done.

    The rest are all fluffy as anything.

    If he does go there it shows what his main priority is! We don't want players like that!

    Why are these links being accepted as it being done?

    Yeah feel like that this deal is dead for us now

    He probably does a year or two in Saudi and will still get a top move 20 million quid richer

    There probably aren't 20 clubs in the world who are competing with Saudi money so as soon as they were mentioned as an option we knew it could come to this.

    He will probably play there for 2-3 seasons, earn 4x what he could have earned in one of the top-4 leagues, then join a top team and we'll see how good he is. If he's as good as people say then I've no doubt he'll back himself to rock up at a Champions League club in 2029 and do the business.

    Matty Young will be 30 caps deep for England by then, not to mention our number 1.

    Agreed. It's a lot of cash, but taking it at his age and stage if career would imply for me that he is a bloke I wouldn't want with me in a fight.

    Yeah

    or we just thought bulka was available so we’d try and don’t see keeper as a priority but more that was a great opportunity

    Sorry Southern but how can you be gutted over not signing a player most on here hadn't even heard of until a few days ago....for a position we've got a keeper on our books as capable as any in holding down a starting role.
    We've probably saved ourselves a sh1t load of money on a bloke who looks as if we wasn't suited for a team KLD and Reg are buiding.
    We'll move on and get in players who actually want to be here...We've had years signing mercenaries who've ducked this club over good and proper.
    Apologies rant over..
