[Convict Colony]

PSV score in 20 secs haha

2 poor defenders and goalie saves and it falls to their CF - Gakpo not involved

That might just be down to AB not being too good with his written grammar!

Some compilation of goals for a 23 y/o.

Player of the year bro for the entire league and football writers player of the year - top top talent who PSV cannot afford to not sell as they need the money after covid losses

[SambaMaverick]

It's not often that Adam sticks his neck out from up the clubs arse tbf.

It's a waiting game now...

[beatlesaint]

If Gakpo has agreed terms with Saints as per the Blackmore tweet they are gonna have one pissed off player on their books if they suddenly say “nah, we’ve changed our minds” 

[ecurnew02]

Tier 1 PSV source Rik Elfink saying nothing is agreed to but I think we are all in agreement Blackmore is about Tier 1 as you can get

Dependent on them getting a replacement before their window 'slams shut' tonight?

El Ghazi has just signed for them. Quite possibly replacement is in already although they were after  Tsygankov

Agreeing a fee is good, but the fact that haven't decided to actually sell him and that he is playing for them right now is a good indication that this is far from done...especially as their inbound window shuts tonight.

Doesn't sound like the player is overly pushing otherwise he would have said he wasn't right to play like they all seem to these days.

Also have to consider that both sides are spinning the situation to their own fans - PSV that they are standing to their valuation and Saints that if we don't get him we couldn't have done more.

IMO if it was that close he wouldn't be playing for them.

There was NO agreement on Gakpo with #saintsfc just before the game. Otherwise he wouldn't be on the field right now. PSV will not jeopardize 40 million euros.

Maybe he won't come out for the second half...

Gakpo done some nice interchange play to create opening around the top of the box, haven't seen him run forward and check back to pass to CM once or blame someone else.

Cancel the deal, he won’t fit in

Wonder if we have a Plan B , if PSV decide against selling, or if he's injured in tonight's fixture.

Given the way they’ve conducted themselves throughout this window I suspect they have.

[S-Clarke]

Is Gakpo usually PSV's captain? If not, it seems strange that he was given it tonight. A farewell job? One of their own at the end of the day, came through their 'pathway'.

[Convict Colony]

Gakpo scores goal but simons was offside

Usually vice captain. Not sure who their captain is normally. Maybe he's injured?

Think its Luuk De Jong or Van Ginkel so he's like the next one off the list.

I wondered this, he was in their last game too.

[DT]

All seems a bit weird, this. Are they expecting a bidding war? Even now?

I have a feeling that PSV are going to pull the plug on this one... Just feel it's so late in the day (for them) and if we've just agreed a fee it doesn't really leave them much chance to spend the wedge.

Luckily, we don't have too long to wait to find out!

[Saint Garrett]

I guess they can make a decision that they're going to get rid of him if they know there is enough interest, i.e. Leeds, Us, and possibly others will want him and sell to highest bidder tomorrow...

I'm not getting hopes up yet.

He’s vice captain after L De Jong who is injured 

[DT]

Could be Dan James to Spurs, then Leeds burning their wedge on Gakpo. Might be what they're waiting for. Dominoes

Just a bit odd that he is playing this evening. Surely if we are close to a deal all parties wouldn't want anything to jeopardise the deal. Am torn between thinking he's a good guy for not throwing his toys out of the pram, or thinking why the he'll isn't he in Southampton already?

[Sfcphilc]

They'll want an extra €5m now

Trying to work out why you’d agree a fee with the club that you were happy to sell at….but hadn’t decided if you were going to sell or not? 

They're possibly trying to attract a higher bid. Presume though they have agreed a bid it is not set in stone so in theory we could be gazumped. Just guessing so probably way off the mark.

Was a proper one, or piddly chip down the middle or a scuffed one ? If it wasn't a proper one then call it off.

Piss off Leeds.

 

And anyway, I still don't understand big clubs clamouring after Dan James. He's far from perfect, inconsistent, lack of end product. Of available wingers I'd rather Adama Traore or Ismaila Sarr if I were Spurs... or from Leeds Jack Harrison who is probably the better player. All IMO from what I've seen.

Can see why a lot of people don’t think it’ll happen, because transfers like this don’t happen to us.

Yeah. It’s not close as he’s playing & the vultures are circling 

[Saint Matty 76]

Hmm, not a particularly positive update from Ornstein there. 

I can really see him signing a new deal with a release clause etc for next year.

Agree. Have often wondered about Traore. Would love him in a Saints shirt. Maybe not the baby oil though. Also wonder about Jao Pedro as very left field back up option up front?

I think he'll 100% leave for a premier League club. Their were reports he'd decided that's what he wants. It's just a matter of which club... I'd really hate it to be Leeds the fans are smug enough.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Sounds like they've put an under offer sign on him, in the hope of getting a bigger fee. Here's hoping.

Until he's told Leeds will up his wages, or the legacy and history of dugouts if Everton are interested...

Has Rudi SGakpo signed yet?
