Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2023 Share Posted 30 January, 2023 I don’t get it, why would the club be apologising/rationalising to some random people getting their hopes up for rumours they’ve seen on the internet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre will add experience and power to our forward line bringing with him a prolific scoring record in league and international football Andre said “I’m delighted to be here As soon as I heard Southampton were interested there was only one choice. this is a massive club in a false postion and I cant wait to get started.” Edited 30 January, 2023 by Turkish 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's around £600m spent in 7 months. There are uneven playing fields and then there's that. Do they have to sell a few to balance ffp rules ?

Crab Lungs Posted 30 January, 2023 Share Posted 30 January, 2023 I think we’re in for a frustrating day watching our rivals strengthen whilst we either bin dip a freebie or get no one. Whilst Semmens et al remind us all again how relaxed the club is about the window, how tried desperately hard but won’t be held to ransom and reinforce just how strong the team already is. Urghhhhh. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted 30 January, 2023 Share Posted 30 January, 2023 A different way of looking at the Ayew transfer is if he was the second striker we sign, ie to add depth to that department but we get one of the other two in as first choice. I would be very happy with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sfcphilc Posted 30 January, 2023 Share Posted 30 January, 2023 Well I'm quite confident we'll see at least one in tomorrow now. I think Vitinha is the "we tried, gapko" bid, but I'd be more than happy with Onuachu at this late stage. Our league position has a massive factor on potential signings, this really can't be underestimated. If a team comfortably in mid table comes in and matches our offer we've got no chance. Hopefully we can fly a couple over and get the deals done sharpish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In summary: Vitinha - we are meeting his release clause. Not seen anything on player side yet. OM mixed reports of being out of the race or bidding against us. We are ‘confident’ of getting him signed before the deadline. Demebele - we apparently bid but he isn’t interested moving before his contract expires this summer. Onuachu - we had a bid rejected last week but are back in and ‘doing everything we can to bring him to the PL’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
