Bible for playing positions. Whether we’d pay all that money for someone just capable of playing that role rather than someone who’s natural role it is, is a tricky one. I know his ratings in those positions are strong but difference between filling in for 5-6 games than playing a full season there? 
 

Joelinton’s ratings are better as a centre-forward for example but he played well the few times he covered last year.

Interesting because we were also confident of signing Botman.

 

I was originally unimpressed by Broja links, but in hindsight I was being harsh on the young lad.

 

If we can get a loan with a view to a permanent, I think that would suit all parties.

 

In all honesty, an understudy role to Wilson might be perfect for him.

I can’t see Chelsea keeping him tbh.

No they seem to have too much going on. Linked with every forward under the sun.

 

A deal should be relatively easy to do, which would be a pleasant change.

So was I, until I realised how young he is. He doesn't look 20 at all [emoji38]

He's never going to get much of a chance there. 

 

Loan with an option to buy would be great and would probably mean that we could spend quite a bit on a RW. 

 

Yeah I think your last sentence is key. That's where the bulk of our money needs to go.

 

Be interesting to see what sort of fee we could agree for the future. What do we think Chelsea rate him at? 25m?

Mehhh, don't see the fuss about this guy. Especially as an option for the wide positions.. Powerful runner but his touch seems poor and his work rate and finishing hasn't been that impressive. Fully trust Howe and the gang of course..

They are also seemingly going to spend huge again so will be looking to get some of that back.

I rate him, yes he didn’t have a good second half of the season, but that’s the form Southampton showed too, the two go hand in hand. He’s strong, quick enough, can finish, can play down the flanks or through the middle and I imagine wouldn’t be demanding the number 9 shirt and to play every game. He’d be perfect on loan with an option to buy. Frees up money for other areas.

It’s been their policy for years…
