Maybe they are already know he s next in line to leave after rvp
Whether he is next in line to leave or not, going back to the Saints still has to be considered amongst the most unlikely of scenarios!
Even if he is in his last year of contract, they will still be priced out and the other clubs are not that going to stand around and watch S'hampton just buy him.

No chance of that happening. It's a bit similar to the stories about Chelsea wanting to sign Rafael when he didn't have long left on his contract. Chelsea will give Cole a new contract and he'd get better wages than he would here.
