We’ve all seen it before. Why shouldn’t he though, different from Bruce amd Lambert etc. Tools have been taken from him, he will easily get another job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He Ioved being here and we don’t see any reason why that would change.” Nowhere has he said categorically. James Ward Prowse is not for sale and won't be leaving at all this window. The above is the closest we get to it, "we don't see any reason why that would change". He's for sale clearly at the right price and I'd expect Southampton want a good deal and need the replacement players lined up too. Look at what we did with Jack, dragged it out so we could Ings in the same day as Bailey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 "I don't see a scenario for him not to be with us" effectively means "the bid is not high enough yet". It's a sad fact that football finances are a wreck at a lot of clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convincing your fanbase that he won't only for him to walk out the door would just piss them off.

skarroki Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just because Southampton are in a financial mess and their best striker and defender have left in the last couple of weeks, does not mean their best midfielder will leave as well.

Rightdm00 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Literally just went through this. Coaches/Players/Sporting Directors words mean almost nothing. Clubs are negotiating massive sums for these transfers. No way they let anything that could affect the negotiation out into the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
