P.s. Moutinho has been rubbish since we "missed out" on him, so still find it hard to be as sad about that one as some on here.
At least this guy from a similar mould to the original target which is goodInteresting. No Stoof stamp anywhere or official stuff so I'll leave it at that for now. Various stuff elsewhere....
As for the Goat's bleat, then maybe the above is intended to flush that out? I hope MP is dead happy with the alternative and wasn't relying on that part of the jigsaw. Did read that he was happy so just hope everyone is singing from the same sheet.
Pretty clear this is what's going on and don't mind if it means we get what we need.It wouldn't surprise me if the club is trying to really put a lid on the leaks given the Willian shit. That still chaps my ass and I'm sure it does for the guys who put in all the work to make it happen just to see it slip through our fingers.
It depends really. Talk was of Southampton wanting £27m for MS (and judging by the fees they got for others I'm not surprised). They seemed to rate Townsend around £8m (if he was their player he'd be at least £15m!). A fair swap would have been Andros plus maybe £5m. Doubt that was Southampton's deal though.
Find that very odd we wouldn't part with Townsend. For me that would have been a no brainer. Odd
I hope MP had a say on Townsend Morgan situation.
We really don't want tension at the club.
All the info said MP was ok with Townsend leaving and wanting MS.
For us to drop the ball and not get him, would leave MP to consider his options if another club fancied him.
Huh?if Saints quoted north of 23 million or so I'd have told them where to go aswell.
We're being very sensible this window - much more like it. I'd take MS at a reasonable fee but our very expensive signings have never really lived up to expectations so can see the worry. I trust the new committee for once in a long time!
