Let him go then. No room for mercenaries on the red and white bus.

^agreed with above. No room for any player who isn't interested in joining the "project". Also worth noting that all news coming out at the moment is all speculation & knowing saints it will be a smokescreen for another high profile deal which no doubt will be a player who is clearly " too good" to join us

I really wasn't keen to have him, thought our defensive midfield was strong last year and would much rather see others areas strengthened. We just need to wait and it will all become clear.

So to summarise the last 2 days as succinctly as possible. Celtic have accepted a bid for between 9. 5 and 12.5 million for a lad who is on holiday in Kenya until the 10th of July. Victor only knows this through media reports but he in the region the following day to discuss and apparntly reject terms after one afternoons discussion! One bhoy says he was on 4k a week and another bhoy says he rejected terms because we can't improve that!!? He is desperate to play champions league but hopes that Cardiff make a bid!
Pick the bones out of that

In a nutshell. a lot of people are making an awful lot of assumptions and spreading idle chat based on very, very little actual information.

Nice post Templar St! The case for the defence rests m'lud. (You can be my brief any day).

One thing that made me laugh was his quote that he was 'far from being a saint'. Seems strange to me somehow he would use the word 'saint' and not just say 'Southampton player'.

One thing Jannersaint for sure. We are being linked with big players of similar age and I am very excited by that.

Don't you just love the transfer rumours! Templar you summed it up perfectly. I love coming on this site and seeing all the 100% definite signed people who then disappear.

He wants to move to a bigger club! Hardly a mercenary. In fact he probably would joined you if he was a mercenary. 'It's the classic offer that you cannot refuse!' lol!

It is mercenary to put money ahead of ambition. He was wanted by Man U and Liverpool not too king ago. We are now talking Cardiff. I'd say Southampton are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. How is that not mercenary?!

Jannersaint {Ed052's Note - Liverpool have never had interest in him. Arsenal did, however}
