I wouldn't be against sending the likes of Bentaleb, Mason and Kane to Southampton on loan If it meant we could pull this deal over the line; they would improve at a good club.

'Hello, mate, you're on Sky Sports! What d'ya wanna talk about?'

If they've leaked all this for a publicity stunt makes me wonder how we got so much ITK on it after it happening...also the fact that it came from Peach makes me think its possible that they've done this as a PR move. Lift the mood etc

As they would use their official PA reporter to filter it out....knowing full well it would spread like wildfire.

And there was me thinking Levy was going to give the manager what he wanted before the start of the season.

I never fucking learn.

After that statement from the chairman that players won't be sold, I expect news stories to start coming out about transfer requests from MS and JR so that it looks like they forced moves and the chairman was unable to stop them.

Just listened to the interview and he doesn't sound convinced himself. I think a lot will keep changing up to the deadline. As people have said, it sounds like it's just the fee to agree and I think Levy is doing the right thing. We are not desperate to sign them as we have good players here already and one of them cant play yet as he's injured. They both know the manager so adapting to the style shouldn't be a problem. If they both want to come to Spurs as reported, then waiting to get the price down seems right.

Me to mate, never learn...its like ground hog day every time.

I was genuinely so excited this time round though - Poch getting backed with two players who were vital components for his system well before the season got underway.

Too good to be true.

Statement of defiance from the chairman to appease the fans, players hand in transfer requests to force the moves, club looks like they've done all they could etc...

I just hope baldy didn't agitate the Southampton chairman to such an extent that they refuse to do any more business with us

Like that nice Mr Gibson of Middlesboro a few years ago

Very disappointed by this news...have to hope their mouth pieces is going to get mugged off by the owner and they'll sell regardless.

Didn't I predict that leak last night was bad news :( ? Never good when shit comes out before it's close to happening. On the optimistic side of the coin, I'm pretty sure we made similar claims regarding Gareth Bale last summer, however we caved. Sadly for the parallel, only once Real Madrid stumped up a ridiculous fee, not something I can see us doing with Southampton!

Yep, I don't understand the optimism or even arrogance that there are no doubts we're going to get them. It isn't some bullshit saving face theory, it's because Morgan and JRod are excellent players, Saints' squad is thin and because we've most likely made a derisory offer.

In the slim chance it does happen it will drag all the way to deadline day.
