sdb Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 That cannot be true. We've got at least 2 too many CMs. 1

st albans fox Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 He didn’t play in their friendly this evening ……
Corky Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 All of our energies will now go into finding centre-backs. Not happening.
coolhandfox Posted 4 August 2021 Posted 4 August 2021 (edited) Yes because we need 2000 cm's.......... Edited 4 August 2021 by coolhandfox

Fox92 Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 At least he's someone who can deliver a good set piece consistently. I do like him actually but can't see it being true with the midfielders we have at the minute.
Jimbo Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 Maybe we made an 'enquiry' before continuing our pursuit of Soumare? Or maybe it's just lazy journalism and they copy and pasted Leicester City instead of Aston Villa
Raw Dykes Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 I'm sure this is just a case of someone writing the wrong Midlands club down. We need to shift one or two CMs as it is.
Jon the Hat Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 Good player, but way too important to Saints staying up for them to sell. Also has a few years on his contract. Not sure we need him anyway.
Verumex Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 Well, I'd take him gladly, he's a really great player, but like everyone else here I'm not buying the story. Unless he is a Maddison replacement, which I highly doubt, he doesn't fit in our team.
dylanlegend Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 I would have thought we are looking at him in case Youri leaves
Blanchflower78 Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 He's going Villa once they stump up the 40m they'll demand

Jaspa Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 Such an important player for Soton, bizarre they'd wanna sell him.

dannythefox Posted 6 August 2021 Posted 6 August 2021 Great player but can’t see us being in for him. Defender priority then winger if possible.
