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.

To be fair I missed that . But he definitely doesn’t want us , or he’d be here and we wouldn’t be involved trying to prise a 19yo wonder kid from the Championship.

I think there are few issues here, firstly we are now on our ‘plan E ‘ for this general type of player . Like all clubs Southampton want to get the most they can , but want their supporters to know they got the best price for a homegrown talent ...

I mean the negotiations around it .. went on for week until we finally caved into the Swans demands. He was decent for us - we’ve missed a player like him in our team since.

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...

That was yesterday mate. Today's new installment.

But if £40m was the issue, we wouldn’t still be negotiating with Soton. McAtee probably wasn’t interested in Forest either.

I don’t think we are necessarily targeting an out and out winger to be honest.

I would prefer McAtee But I don’t think the issue was the valuation, we don’t seem to be concerned with a £40m fee ,or we would have disengaged from Dibling days ago . I think McAtee prefers a move elsewhere, (Dortmund seems most likely from...

We didnt wait till August we tried to buy Fofana and Kubo. They turned us down we cant hold a gun to their heads.

Yeah But who to ? We have failed to land any of our previous targets for this position. I think we will complete this purely because we have nowhere else to go . It’s been too public an auction now . Their valuation hasn’t really changed , so...

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...

I think both clubs have to be careful in this respect. The days of clubs with shared ownership doing favourable deals with each other has largely passed. Each deal has to pass scrutiny to show fair market price is paid. It is vital that all clubs...

Hopefully Sanchez if he isn't going to Wolves or Napoli

I think that’s about right. Although I would hope we can find a slightly better RB option than the two no -marks listed .
