Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


I doubt it was just about wages, maybes hes settled and didnt fancy a move up North.
Probably something we forget, especially for a player like that at that point in his career. Do you want to a) move your whole life/family and to the North West from West London/Surrey to start an entirely new job for a slight increase in pay; or b) take a slightly lower wage but continue exactly as you were?

Of course if he's like "I hate playing for Fulham and I and my family hate it in London and my kids hate their school and all their friends and really, Mr Moyes, we quite fancy living in Cheshire" then job's a goodun.

But, notwithstanding the fact they often act like spoiled children, we are dealing with humans who at a certain stage of their career will have more concerns than whether they can play in a (really very sweet) new stadium.

I'd suggest in a Southampton side bereft of much talent, he generally had 2 or 3 men keeping him quiet (similar to Doak when at Boro).

In a team with Ndiaye, and to some extent Beto, tying opposition players up, he will benefit from that extra space.

Looking at some of his highlights, he would have had more assists playing with better players.
Agreed! So might Ndiaye 😂
