Completely pointless having that backline in that scenario. We need balance, and Souttar is probably the most likely to go. 1

Given that Wrexham have now switched their attention to Joe Worrall, it looks like Souttar is the least likely to go as nobody else seems willing to cough up the fee. Edited 31 August by ClaphamFox
dannythefox Posted 31 August Posted 31 August He won’t be going, sell him won’t get a decent replacement in time.

Nah, I still think we drop our demands and a championship team ups their max. Obviously not going to be Wrexham now though. 2

CloudFox Posted 31 August Posted 31 August I know lots have said he doesn't give a shit (see: Notts County goal) but I think it's quite telling about Souttar's professionalism and the club's willingness to keep him that he's starting despite wanting away, while others (Mavididi, Choudhury, Faes) are not playing at all due to possible moves. If he stays, I think he will be important for our success. If he is leaves, so be it and hopefully we have time to reinvest. I doubt he leaves now though. 1

Apparently he hasn’t even bothered to tell the club he wants away, which would be a bit odd if he’s really desperate to leave.

There’s a difference between making it clear you want to leave and actually handing in a transfer request. I don’t think Faes, Mavididi or Choudhury handed in transfer requests either, but that didn’t stop RM from leaving them out of the squad.
Muzzy_no7 Posted 31 August Posted 31 August Wrexham getting Joe Worrall so surely no longer in for Souttar?
fazzyfox Posted 31 August Posted 31 August He wants to leave but he doesn’t appear to have any Suitors 3

lee7 Posted 31 August Posted 31 August I'd be happy to see him go. I think a move away would benefit both parties as long as we can bring in a replacement. 1
trooky Posted 1 September Posted 1 September Heard on talksport Watford want a CB today, not sure if Souttar is on their radar.

PageSZN Posted 1 September Posted 1 September People very quick to jump on Souttar's back. He was playing LCB alongside Okoli... Nobody plays well when their defensive partner is Caleb Okoli. Souttar looked miles better as a LCB and alongside someone who was more competent on the ball in Luke Thomas. I think he stays and he will be absolutely fine... A bonus is he will help Ilari Kangasniemi settle quickly too. 4
