But he isn't. He'd easily be our 2nd best FB in the squad.

This would explain the change in the ITK messages - one minute a done deal, the next a mile apart. 

 

As I've said before, the ownership structure at Southampton is a bit unclear. They guy with the money is running things indirectly through an Investment firm. Not great for decision-making. Things have gone a bit Pete Tong for them since he took over.

RE Aarons:

 

Most notably, Aarons was linked with a move to Bayern Munich by Sky Sports in 2021, while he has also been courted by Arsenal and Manchester United according to The Sun in 2022.

 

During his 44 Championship starts last season, Carrow Road’s academy graduate, dubbed “outstanding” by former teammate Jon Newsome, established himself as David Wagner’s both third defensive and offensive best-performing player, showcasing why he is finally ready for a permanent Premier League berth elsewhere.

 

The 23-year-old made a total of 84 tackles last season which was more than any other member of his squad, via FBRef, alongside averaging 1.4 clearances per second-tier game, but he was also a threat going forward.

Aarons also ranked in the 99th percentile for progressive carries and successfully completed 75% of dribbles last term [SofaScore], highlighting his incredible dribbling qualities when taking on his marker and when making it into the opposition’s box or final third, he whipped an astonishing 102 crosses into the area which was the second-highest number in the squad.

 

Also part of the England U21 team to win the Euros...sure they didn't concede, might be making that up.

 

He certainly isn't shit.

Would of been 85 tackles if he had of tackled one more person 

[The Prophet]

It'l seems pretty obvious at this point he's one of our main targets and the player wants the move.

 

There will be lots of "edging closer" and tedious non-updates over the next couple of days, but given the state of play, I'll be shocked if it doesn't get done.

Hope your right but seen this before so many times and our owners seem to just walk away and move on unless it’s a purple player. They have shown more grit with barnes though so who knows.

We've had drawn out transfers with Botman, Gordon and Barnes now to be fair. The Ekitike and Maddison non-deals too.

[prefabtoon]

Sky Sports are now reporting that Southampton have turned down the latest Newcastle United bid.

The third  offer was understood to be around the £30m mark, plus future add-ons.

Sky Sports though saying that their information is that Southampton are trying to hold out for £40m, having knocked back this £30m NUFC bid.

[Yorkie]

If Southampton are gunning for the Newcastle tax or Saudi tax or whatever you want to call it, I've no objection whatsoever to us telling them to take a hike. It sounds like we've made a very reasonable offer, to a team with little leverage, for a young player with possible fitness doubts. 

[duo]

Time to move on

How much do we reckon a Trippier replacement will cost in 2-3 years?

Yeah he was proving my point so I thanked him.

I'm thinking it'd be a lot which is why I could see us going to around £35-40m if we saw him as the long term replacement.

I think the issue is how shit the deal is for Southampton due to Chelsea's cut. They really won't have all that much to reinvest from £30m, assuming a chunk of that is based on clauses being hit too.

[ponsaelius]

I reckon there's a pretty good chance they'd rather shift KWP instead. Be on higher wages and older, more likely to be pushing for a PL move. It's probably one of the main reasons they're resistant to a sale.

[Guest]

Probably still stung from when they sold their 25% Bale sell-on clause for £3m and lost out on about £20m when he went to Real Madrid. 

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Wonder if we try for Fresneda again

[Whitley mag]

This is why it’s better to shop abroad no value in the English market. 
 

Anything over 30 million would be ridiculous, he’s done absolutely nowt and is just coming back from a serious injury.

That's fair enough I guess but still, from our point of view, "that's your problem." Try not getting relegated next time, lads.

Would be more than happy with this lad.

[Whitley mag]

We could probably have got Fresneda and Kerkez for the price of this cunt, fuck PL experience Howe has got all summer to bed them in it’s not January.
