⚽ 🔃 The Summer 2021 Transfer Thread

If he wants City or Utd, best bet is to stay this season and go on a free next…

Another year of injuries may scupper any move though. Pretty sure the likes of City and Utd will steer clear for this reason. Others may also do when asked to pay £150k wages… :roll_eyes:

So on that basis do you think he’s not been tapped up and is simply listening to his entourage of agents, advisors etc and just longing this out without any encouragement from another club?

This scenario seems unlikely to me for the very reason that he’s injury prone. If he does an ACL in preseason training, will that mega offer from Saints (relatively speaking) still be on the table? Big risk surely?

It occurred to me that very few clubs could afford to take that sort of a punt on him and have other forwards just as good for when/if he gets injured. Citeh or Utd would fit the bill, can’t think of many others tbh. He’d eat up a big part of most other clubs’ wage bill.

It appears that we are gaining a youngster from Chelsea - plays CB

Let’s not big him up too much just yet - I know what crazy optimistic fools we are on @sotonians but…

Ignore the Lemina bit, this is the real story…

“Arsenal have made offers up to £32m for Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale”

WHAT?! HOW MUCH?! For RAMSDALE?! Strewth.

Halle-fucking-lujah. Thank fuck that’s done. It only took two years. Maybe now we can stop hearing about it.

Not as bad as the transfer deadline day when they signed the resolutely underwhelming Falcao

Shame he did not work out for us. Early promise was very decent

Add him to the list of Sims and Hesketh of players we hoped would make the grade but ultimately came up short.
