Lighthouse Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 Playing devils advocate, it could all be part of a bluff to make it look like they have no intention of selling him, in the hope that we lunge in with a late 'blow them out of the water' offer.

Hope it happens but not getting my hopes up. But if they've offered him a new deal, it'd be a bit bizarre to leave him out. Giving him the captaincy is obviously a way to butter him up even more.

Disco Stu Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 (edited) Personally, I'm concerned about who can comes in to perform Che Adams' role when he's unable to play or rested. Most of our attacks go through him. We need an alternative player capable of outmuscling opposition defenders, challenging for headers, holding the ball up and laying it off... The typical 'back to goal' work the head of our attack needs to be capable of doing. I don't see Mara capable of doing that. Perhaps Aribo could play that role for us but it isn't his best position and I want us to play our players in their best positions. We need another centre forward. I see Mara, Armstrong and Aribo as the players the centre forward lays the ball onto. Edited 31 August, 2022 by Disco Stu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 He’ll be a Saints player soon, probably. Very weird that he played tonight, likely added a few quid to his valuation after his performance. But I feel this has gone on too long for it to suddenly stop at the last minute. PSV need the money. If he goes anywhere now it’ll be us. Leeds are out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nieldy Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 Southampton agree loan deal for Maitland-Niles Southampton have agreed a deal with Arsenal for the loan signing of midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The deal for Maitland-Niles includes a buy option. Arsenal are thought to have activated a one-year extension option in the midfielder's contract, which was due to expire at the end of this season. Maitland-Niles spent last season on loan in Serie A with Roma, but the 25-year-old only made 12 appearances. Sounds as good as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
