Very happy with the sound of him, Bundesliga fans I know don't think he'll be cheap. Really hope we can get this across the line and we've just fallen a DM short of a brilliant window. This makes it a good one.

From Germany I believe

 

Not been given a name but told He’s coming from Germany, so this lad fits the bill. I assumed it would have been one of the 2 we’ve been linked to from RB

How? Probably a deal we've being trying to get over the line and CA going may just have given us the flexibility to do it.

I just meant the idea that there's 'no value' in the market. There's always value if your scouting is good enough - and so hopefully this last minute signing will prove!

Well done Saints. Sounds just what we need. They like to keep us on our toes...

If Austin (not a huge fee/savings in wages all things considered) was a precondition to getting a deal done, it just shows what constraints we’re working under.

 

you don't think Austin was on fortune here? West Ham shirked at £100k a week. A tiny transfer fee meant he'd have been on a massive wages. Or did you mean that we probably had to pay him a massive pay off to leave and earn less at WBA, thus reducing the saving we made by offloading him?

Some have suggested that...

Well, this is a surprise...! He wasn't on my radar as someone we could sign, but he looks like the right sort.

 

I imagine at this late stage, it's prob a loan?

Why is it typical Saints, perhaps others could be to blame...

Club bashing any chance you get...

Conveniently missing the very clear praise I just gave the club in the previous post you weirdo

Hope it's not a Toby type of loan then, with only a loose option to buy.

I had my heart set on Big Vic coming home. Tbh, I think it was more sentiment than anything. I'd even been considering having spaghetti tonight in celebration :(

You do realise we have been tracking him for many years, the fact that Ralph is Austrian is pure coincidence.

 

Like we did with Carrillo :lol:

 

No doubt he’s in our database and some grunt has assembled a bit video footage, as we’ve probably done with hundreds of players (the costs of ‘following’ a player aren’t prohibitively high). Doesn’t mean he was a serious target.

Indeed, easy to forget that our last accounts still showed a profit of almost £30m. Since then we've lost some big earners, replacing with much lower-profile signings, and player trading has been pretty much cost-neutral.
