Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Hmmm Southampton local journo says fee and personal terms agreed, The Manc Kopite Echo, says no fam. Who to believe?

Or Southampton could have put that out to force Spurs into a move. We all know full well Levy will wait until deadline day and offer about £10 million

 

[Pabbers]

Didn't want him anyway....

 

[Eggs]

None.

Their journos will be fed info in the interest of Southampton. It could be legit or to bump up a bidding war.

Our journos are incompetent morons who work for an RS infested publication.

...but their journos are saying a deal has been agreed, that means there’s no bidding war.

The Athletic are pretty good to be honest.

Eh, a lot of them are, but I have my doubts about Boyland

...but their journos are saying a deal has been agreed, that means there’s no bidding war.

Not really, as they could accept a bid from anyone else at any time. The deal hasn't been completed or he'd be on the OS in an Everton shirt.

 

[Baines' left foot]

If he signs he’s crap and overpriced.

If he doesn’t sign then Brands has missed out and the club is a joke.

Probably Phil K tbh

The Echo seems to be back in with the club these days.

Explains why the usual reliable merseyside journos havent run with the accepted bid report though - because its not true

...of course they can accept a bid from anybody, but surely only for the same price. They want £25m and they aren’t bothered who pays it. I imagine they want the deal done quickly.

 

[EFCPaul]

He has not been to our training ground to look at the facilities, you don't Phil Kirkbride to tell you that. Players don't travel to new clubs until a deal is signed.

Pure guff that Southampton have probably planted in their local media to draw some more money out of Spurs.

Nod along, report what they want, and not have any other sources and you'll be reliant on them for access

 

[MikeH72]

I see the Echo are throwing out wild pre-emptive guesses again.

Who do you reckon of the current crop of journos is most likely to send a warranted yet foul-mouthed email to a politician?
