Well ****, any of their summer signings on his cap then?

He was there until a month or two ago, so yes some of them likely were.

Yeah people are free to do what they want, of course. You just cannot win with some people. I find it crazy we are living in times where people aren’t happy unless they’ve got something to moan about.

I think most of us would reasonably not want someone with this players history associated with the club.

I expect the new guy who they got from Man City probably had an involvement at some level for the couple they have signed from Man City - Bazunu and Lavia

 

But I think Glover will have been involved in Bella-Kotchap who looks like a good signing, and also Joe Aribo

T1 source for anything Dutch

"Game around Cody Gakpo on the wagon. Not Manchester United, but Southampton officially reports to PSV for him. The intended offer has not yet been received, but amounts to 35 to 40 million euros. So more.

🏴󠁧󠁢Southampton ready for transfer Gakpo and wants to pay PSV 35-40 million euros."

This is exactly the type of deal we should be doing. Why aren’t we all over this?

Because we don't need to spend most of our money on someone who is mainly a left winger probably

Am I right in thinking he starts on 1st September?

 

If so, thank the lord we have a new scapegoat to blame if he doesn’t sign a RW. 

[FerrisBueller]

Is it just sky reporting this? Just watched some highlights from last season and he does seem handy, but so does everyone from highlights. Pretty underwhelming if this is accurate, a position we don’t really need and still not a right winger.

Yes, none of the usual more concrete sources have reported this. Yet.

 

Sky sources are as about as good as the Leicester Mercury these days.

Remember when personality and being a good fit for the dressing room used to be an important trait when we scouted players? 

 

2017 attitude problems at Nantes

2018 found guilty of fatally injuring a pedestrian after letting a 14 year old drive his car

2019 Not allowed to travel to Schalke’s winter training camp, as punishment for poor discipline 

2019 Schalke boss Tedesco hits out at Harit for his lack of professionalism

 

Fair enough if he’s rehabilitated and changed for the better but it doesn’t look good on paper. Looking at Schalke fans comments online and they bring up his poor attitude a lot .

 

 

Not sure if any of us will ever know the full story behind the accident but it does appear that the reports about his younger brother driving and the two trying to flee the scene were false. 
 

The situation is really sad and likely traumatic for everyone involved or impacted.

Sky reporter from Germany said there was "some movement" on Harit, SkyUK then simply picked up on that

True but since as a club we like shoe horning players into the RW position we could actually get someone who is good rather than someone who isn’t. 

[moore_94]

Very weird that I can't actually find what he was charged with / sentenced for specifically - just that it was a four month suspended sentence and a small fine

 

Driving 5-10 mph over the speed limit and hit a pedestrian trying to cross a busy road in bad visibility

 

Death by dangerous driving or something like that

[JimmyC74]

Southampton targeting Gakpo and we are linked with Amine Harit and Matheus Pereira. Hopefully we are a little more ambitious.

It's because he let his 14 year-old brother drive his car apparently, or at least that's what they said, probably to reduce any possible sentence for Harit

[DezFox]

I find it so infuriating that we are so badly run now. My only guess is that all others options that would fit are all too expensive. He genuinely must be 10th on the list, not even a right wing. 

 

I find it baffling that they persist with round pegs in square wholes. 

 

Honestly, we can all see it, it's happening, slow and painful relegation. If not this year, next year. Someone do something to stop it.

It came out after the initial reports / before the sentencing that his 14 year old brother wasn't actually driving, but that his younger brother had said that to get a lesser sentence for Harit

Always properly wonder how people end up with the big font when it isnt a copy and paste issue

[wattolcfc]

I’d rather save the money for the new manager to spend in January if this is the best we are going to come up with

[ARM1968]

Harit lads - way eye an that. Bugger all money ya soft southern b@satrds. This man woman man is shite like.

Very unimpressed with how we do things. It’s not all Rodgers. It’s just unprepared business. Say what you like about being pleased with everything or classed as a moaner but come on. The guy is not an improvement on our bench. 

I'm fiercely Rodgers out and think he's the first move we need to make on the road to recovery but it's quite clear as well he isn't the only problem. I feel like a lot of the time people reassure themselves thinking it's all because there's something better coming but when did it last arrive?

 

We've got all the hallmarks of a side that are going down. Our recruitment has nosedived beyond belief.

[coolhandfox]

Not a chance Southampton are paying that for Cody Gakpo, he isn't going there.

Didn’t Dorsett and Tanner both say that the issues were with wages and squad spaces rather than transfer funds? 

 

Surely with 65m windfall and Perez potentially on his way we could afford Gakpo and Lacroix.
