This popped up on my timeline earlier. Look at the comments, and how positive Saints fans were about him before the transfer speculation began.


I don't blame Saints fans for being salty. They're probably the biggest dumped on club in the league. All their best players (and they've produced some real worldies) seem to be poached. Even their managers and chief scouts. And all the while, they flounder in mid-table.

Blackmore added:
I think for once it’s a negotiation with Spurs that both parties are happy with. More than the 15M Spurs wanted to pay and a little less than the 25M Saints set

They will. Fans were saying Levy didn't back Poch last summer even though it has been confirmed by JJ, amongst others, that we signed all our first choice targets.

And to be honest, there were funds available in the summer of 2018, but Poch wasn't interested in 2nd choice targets.

That's not to say that Levy hasn't dropped the ball in the TW on numerous occasions, but we have to give him his dues when they're deserved.

Credit where it's due, Levy getting a player the manager wants in a key position and before pre-season starts. Very positive.

Very positive indeed.

But I guess that Levy’s detractors could legitimately caveat thus.......a player in the final year of his contract; a selling club that wanted a player from us as much we wanted this one from them; and no other interested club at our level or higher, meaning that the player only wanted us......this was Levy’s perfect scenario!

Yep If this gets done soon that’s very promising. Would hopefully bode well for getting other targets Jose has set.
