Badger Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 15 minutes ago, Sfcphilc said: I have a sinking feeling which is normal for the average Saints fan, about this transfer. I can't help but think we won't get him. I hope I'm just being pessimistic. That being said the club haven't let us down this window as of yet! Agreed. It seems the story broke too soon (possibly leaked by PSV to crank up the bidding ?). Shame if it doesn’t come off, but if it doesn’t hope we have time to get Plan B in place in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 Gakpo played all over the front line for PSV tonight. He's tall and good in the air and seems comfortable enough playing down the middle (on admittedly little evidence and against a very poor team).

The £34m figure is what PSV have bandied about as what they want. Whether we have gone from £21.4 to £34m I'm not so sure. PSV will paint the best picture possible to appease their fans. I'd of thought we'd increase to £25m max, plus maybe some add ons. Who knows these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Fastenbüttl Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 Check out the history of Gakpo's Wikipedia page. Some fucker has just waded in there and changed his current club to Southampton. It's a bloodbath. Regardless, I reckon this one is going our way. £34m. Never thought we'd see such a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2022 Share Posted 31 August, 2022 (edited) There is a lot of nonsense floating around about this one now. ''Agreed a fee with PSV'' ''But PSV are still deciding'' ''PSV now want 40 million euro'' ''Leeds in the race'' Sadly this is what happens at the end of a transfer window, most of this is agent and media made up bollocks. The only people who genuinely know what's going on are Coady, Martin and Sven at PSV. The media are just fed lines from from sources to appease certain audiences or to fit certain agendas. We'll know by this time tomorrow anyway. At least it's not going to be a Skacel Saga. Edited 31 August, 2022 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have decided to convince myself Gakpo is on the 9.30am flight from Amsterdam which returns to Amsterdam at 16:00 from southampton. Its 1hr 15mins from Eindhoven to the amsterdam airport and if Gakpo flew out of his home airport it would be all over the internet, in AMS its Ajax land they will care less. The amsterdam private jet is from a top notch company and the other one from eindhoven is less nice, also the flight to leeds does not return today ours does with enough time to do a walk around staplewood, meet ralph and do a medical and photos.
