SUPERTOON

Luke changing his tune, he said numerous times he was one of our priorities

Only counts for incomings I think

If that was the case wouldn’t we have done the same last year with Pope and Targett ?

Aye, I still think we were in for him tbh, but he chose spurs.

Since last summer ? I doubt it.

They have just signed a new keeper and want a new CB as well. If the new manager can get Bentecaur fit and get the best out of Bissouma then they will have a good side.

Alex Crook (TalkSPORT) saying we held talks with Rice.

40 million is a great price for him

He’s basically never leaving Southampton then

Hopefully not, his injury record is terrible

I’d be amazed if that was true

Wonder with this and the Maddison news, our interest in Franca has been revisited. (Think we need someone a little more proven mind)

Edwards yet again jumped the gun on this one

I’d argue right now Maddison is a better play than Tonali (obviously different positions).

Not sure we can do a lot better than Maddison tbh, he’s an elite player imo.

Szoboszlai release clause expired in less than a week I think. If it doesn’t happen before then, I don’t think it will this window.

Really interested to see what attacking midfielder/winger we target assuming Maddison is going to Spurs. I don’t see us signing Szoboszlai simply due to price. Wouldn’t be surprised to see us go back in for Diaby.

Rumours he’s agreed personal terms with them at around 195k per week. Not sure how true mind but that’s a lot more than he’s worth imo.

Shame as he’s a brilliant player and would have been ideal for us in terms of creativity. However I do feel his injury record would have made it a massive risk considering the intensity at which we play.

I’d imagine we would target someone a little more proven than Franca as we are in desperate need of some creativity.

Trippier needs a true backup/competition next season though
