It's a certainty he will leave and we're the only ones being mentioned, even by Koeman.

This looks like it's nailed on.
 
The fact that Koeman openly admits that he's not involved in the numbers and that we will see what happens in the coming days signalled to me that this deal is basically done. The 2nd part of his presser has now supported that even more. I mean why talk about Clasie being his replacement so openly if he didn't think Morgan will end up with Utd?

Was reading his quotes again. He says we bid 20m and it was rejected and they received no further bids up to today....I mean if you were a real muppet you could conclude that they received one..today?
 
It's so frustrating how long this is taking, especially when they are so resigned and open to him coming! Only us being mentioned, no ply to tease other clubs out of the woodwork to make a quick bid.

I seriously think this is all but done and I wouldn't be surprised if this is announced tomorrow before Southampton head off to their pre season. If he goes with them after "being ill" today then it'll inevitably delay any deal which is the last thing we need. We need our entire squad to have a solid pre season together!
 
I'd happily pay £29.9m but £30m would be a joke.

In fact, I think I'd even tell them to feck off at £29.95.
:lol:

Just because they're eager to sell, doesn't mean they'll sell him at any price. There must still be a mid difference in valuations.
 
Just sign the fecker

This at any time.

We just suck at doing fecking business, it's unbelievable. And then people will ask why he doesn't have a proper preseason to get used to his new environment. What's the use of training camp if not getting everyone on the same page for the first day of the season?

Exactly. I know deadline day is exciting and all but id rather sign a few players in the 1st July ,and let them have a full pre season, and not sugn anyone for the rest of the window. Rather then big exciting transfers 5 mins before the deadline
 
At the start of the summer, I was thinking he would cost upward of 25mil anyway. He's been one of the standout holding midfielders in the PL over the past two seasons anyway. Plus we need him more than Southampton need to sell, so I really don't see us getting any kind of discount. Add the United tax, and honestly 25-30 is about right, crazy as it may seem.

We should get this done asap. If we fail in this one, then I'd have to say Woody has gone back to square one.
 
I'm a lot calmer now. Seems to me we have an agreement with Schneiderlin, and Arsenal are not interested at all (Koeman didn't mention them, Arteta signed a new contract, they have Coquelin,.... - it makes sense).

Southampton want big money it seems, so it's understandable Woody is trying to bring it down. They won't block him a move 2 seasons in a row, they aren't Tottenham.
 
Seems clear from Koeman's comments that he'll join us pretty soon. If the rumors are true and we are also signing Darmian then both of them would be perfect signings.

Not the highest of profiles but absolutely perfect for us.
 

Both your articles are according to some media house. No quotes. We simply dont know the actual amounts they want. It's speculation. I dont think they want £40m but then I again I've no idea. They might ask for 40 but would settle for 30-35 for example
