He’s the potential to be brilliant but it’s a massive gamble and not one I think we’re in a position to take. Doak is much more of an exciting prospect than Fellows is imo. I’d even argue that for what we currently need Doak fits the bill more...

I’d rather have them 2 for £25m combined than Dibling for £40m+, which appears to be the point that was being made

KDH for £25m Hackney for £15m far better business than McAtee for £40m in my opinion

Same with Dibling. We could get Doak and a right back for what Southampton are looking for us to pay for him.

Disagree. Sigurdsson was by some distance Swansea's most important player - he was directly involved in something like 50% of Swansea's goals the season before. They were always doomed for relegation when he left - it's why he was so important...

Hackney is a deep lying playmaker ( I wasn’t keen when he was first linked , but in current parlance, I’ve ‘pivoted’ following research 😀) Fellows though doesn’t look anything special, and I have doubts whether he could prosper in the PL.

True but it is the only way to get this deal done. We’re not paying £50m plus 25% sell-on. We better move on to the 6th or 7th choice.

walk away, go for McAtee and/or Doak go back in for him next year if still available and with a year left on his deal

That is a counter from Saints intended to kill the deal and it has. Stone dead. What Dibling makes of it remains to be seen but I never blame another club for sticking to their guns. We do it after all.

You don’t know what derisory means do you?

I don’t like this attitude to be honest. We’d be fuming if Branthwaite did this to us, plus Dibling is a local lad I believe.

Not sure that's them blinking to be honest, it may well just be them saying 'let's stop wasting eachother's time, we're not accepting any less than this so either pay it or leave us alone'. I was a big fan of the link but we can't be held to...

If we want him and believe in him then do it.... If the add kns are paid then he'll be doing well for us... Otherwise stop messing about and go get someone else

Well you can’t be allowing the sell on for starters. We’re paying top whack to assume the considerable risk, our upside is the potential sale value.

There’s been a lot of “just go get Kubo” shouts but I think it would be a much worse idea (I appreciate you are just using him as an example). For starters he’s 5 years older which doesn’t make him old for a footballer but is getting into prime...
