At the moment it’s us and he wants to come, obviously that could change and that’s the worry, with a villa or spurs getting involved

As the closure of the window draws closer, others will become more desperate too. As will we. If we really want him, we might be as well off to bite the bullet now or risk losing out later. We might still get him later - but might be forced higher by auction anyway to get him. They are obviously hoping other interest doesn't materialise and Southampton are forced to back down to make big money this summer.

Of course, if we had a plausible plan B, we wouldn't need to hang about or play poker.

I don't think we can judge this strategy until September, but one thing is sure: they will be judged on outcomes. And rightly so.

Surely this gets sorted out today. Everton want him and time is running out to get him trained up. Southampton now have an unhappy player who they can’t risk playing in case of injury. I think we go back in with 40m and a few mill in add on’s and say take it or leave it.s

Unless Everton begin actively pursuing another player for the position, I think it's safe to assume this is going to continue for a good couple of weeks yet. And the outcome at the end of that really is anyone's guess. Seems both sides are in for the long haul in the assumption the other with relent.

There’s a lot of noise on this. Positioning from both sides.

Southampton’s CEO comes out last night and says, we aren’t being pushed around, we have a valuation that we are sticking to.

Next day, Joyce, who gets his info directly from Everton, briefs the feeling is the deal won’t happen.

Think it was briefed yesterday that whilst Everton sources were cautious of the deal, Southampton felt a deal would be done, which is probably why he’s training on his own.

Personally, I don’t think Southampton have a strong hand. I can’t see a scenario where it makes sense not to sell him this summer. A year in the Championship won’t increase his value (playing against crap defenders) and next summer he has just 12 months left on his contract. You then throw in the mix that Southampton might not get promoted next summer, in which case they would be vulnerable as hell. In no scenario do I see them getting more next summer than they get now.

So when I see Spors and the CEO playing tough guy in front of their fans last night, I see it as performative rubbish. Perhaps Everton see it as the same.

The trouble is we have told the world & the mother-in-law we are desperate for a rw so we have shown our hand
 
Yes he's certain to go. Before he does, I wouldn't underestimate Soton's willingness to drag it out though. Public posturing counts for a lot in boardrooms, it's like a performative dance that has to be endured so they make their point.

The fact that the manager there might like to be able to spend some of the cash before the window closes to help them get back up, and get those players in now, will have little bearing on the CEO whilst there is a game of a different sort to be played out first.

They're hoping another club comes in for him.

If they do play him then thats big sign he stays as they risk an injury if he plays
