Southampton's scouting system must be shocking

The only thing worse would be Josh going there.

Sounds like this is happening. The dirty little fucking rat.

Yup. I am an incredibly mellow, chilled person but he can just fuck off. And when he's finished fucking off he can fuck off again. The fucking arsehole.

Technically very good money, he is never worth more than 5 or 6 million, and he does have a patchy record, injury wise.
But you just don't do that. He clearly doesn't give a shit about the fans, and I have to question how much Knapper does.

It's good money for an injury prone player in the last year of his contract.
But he's also the only one who seems to be able to get us playing. So from that point of view it is worrying.
Business wise it makes sense, football wise probably not.
And of course the club are making sure the line is getting out there that he has pushed for the move. Which he may have done but their eyes have lit up at the £ signs.

Yeah it's good money (if dirty money) but he will eclipse Marshall if he goes. Pretty pathetic to want to leave for them.
Pretty poor form by Knapper too. WTF...does he not understand fans.
And another defensive mid in Mattsson? What will he do?...play alongside Topic just in front of the back 5!
Sargent to go next for a depressing week.

According to Onel, no way has Nunez pushed for this move. Tend to believe Onel quite honestly.

I trust him more than Knapper. That weasel has shown he doesn’t understand football, it’s more than just numbers on spreadsheets

Seems a bit sensible here, over the other side, it seems that loads of the top class supporters and coaches, are getting ready for a mass break down.
Nunez Sometimes he played, sometimes he didn't
Sometimes he was good, sometimes he wasn't.
If it comes off, boo to Nunez and well done to Knapper for the large pile of pennies collected

Trouble is that big piles of pennies don't create chances in midfield...

He wouldn't sign new contract would he?

Another cheap Danish import to replace him. I would rather see some battle hardened pro from our league.

Apparently no more signings after Mattsson so just have to see how he fits in.
Trying to find positives...we need to find a set up that works...but...we need another win soon. Or, you just sense fans might turn (already) as the Nunez sale has annoyed very many. Where is the creativity going to come from? Could Kvistgaarden be a number 10? We've no idea yet.
Is Mattsson another for the supposed 'horseshoe' beloved of Manning or maybe he enables a different shape....first named below possibly making up the first 11 (if all fit?)...imagine Duffy is off? Forsyth or another of the younger players to breakthrough?

That seems true but there are so many mixed messages about the whole affair - conspiracy theory territory if you ask me. The narrative seems to be that he wanted away and has done for a long while, that he hasn't integrated well and not bothered with learning the language. And so on. I've no idea. Money must be talking the loudest though

Hope there is an eleven in there that Manning can mould into a decent team but his lack of flexibility worries me.

All that can be true, but that still doesn’t excuse selling him to 1p5hit. If he hasn’t settled or learned the language then moving to a club one county over changes nothing in that regard. I also find it hard to believe that Ip5hit would hand over that much money for a player who can speak to clubs in January for free if there was no interest from a single other club.
Nunez is just a money grabbing c**t but football is full of those, my anger is still aimed at Knapper for letting it all happen. He was on thin ice as it was in my eyes for building what looks to be a fairly average side that has cost a lot of money, this total lack of awareness on his part is going to make it very hard to come back from
