I was thinking how nice it is to get some deals done early…Then I realised that next season is not so far away!! Sheesh, the closed seasons are getting shorter all the time!
I’m very pleased with this. The Liverpool Echo seem to be too, obviously thinking it is Clyne time. He did hint that he might stay at Southampton, saying that we were “pushing up”. Could he conceivably still be in a Saints shirt at the end of the transfer window?
I reckon it’s conceivable. I dunno how likely it is though. Clyne has certainly not been making any noises about leaving that anyone wouldn’t say during normal contract negotiations. I’ll just keep my fingers crossed that he stays.
