Daft Kerplunk Posted 9 May, 2018 Share Posted 9 May, 2018 We’d sogned a pre agreement where Promes would sign for us so unless the club weren’t being truthful, he should join very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_saint Posted 9 May, 2018 Share Posted 9 May, 2018 When did they ever publicly state that there was an agreement? I can't find anything either. Having a trawl through Twitter from back on 31st January and the following stood out.... Simon Peach - Saints really want Promes & keen to tie up deal in the summer if not now. Adam Blackmore - Southampton’s signing of Quincy Promes looks set to be delayed until the summer. Happy to pay fee, player happy to come, but Spartak Moscow can’t replace him in this window and are set to block the move for now. Saints hope to get agreement on a summer move.

Baird of the land Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Stoke made some useless signings last summer (according to Butland) Was that the work of Hughes? If so, oh dear. Hughes history of signings at stoke was pretty dire. Of the list from 5 years i’d Say only Allen, shaqiri &indi stood out. Our transfer record looks a lot better by and large over that period even including letting our last manager buy he’s favourite £20m Turkey.

Baird of the land Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Didn't have the black box did he? That's my point. Despite some of the criticisms of our existing approach its been much more successful overall & if Hughes does come in it should be because he's willing to work within the structure rather than being handed complete control.

If any sort of assured agreement to buy Promes existed, the club would have advertised it for the PR opportunity during an otherwise terrible transfer window (as Liverpool did with Naby Keita).
