No! That is another good one though!
If only I knew a Saints supporting mate.

And isn’t working this afternoon…

A lot of these answers are a lot more clever than my original effort. I am ashamed to reveal The Truth now! Hopefully it doesn’t happen and I can slink quietly away + we can forget all about it!
Lucky for you this site is populated mostly by heavy drinkers with poor memories, and also has such a poor search function your original post will be lost to the void within 2-3 working days.

Promes deal likely not to happen now as Spartak won’t sanction the deal if they can’t find a replacement for him, which they are having trouble finding (probably not looking too hard to be honest)
So :-
a) Not Saints’ fault
b) Make the rumours of a buyout clause unlikely

Although it would be nice to think that the Transfer Commitee have other irons in the fire/arrows in the quiver/fingers in the pie

It’s a bit weird that Skysports are claiming it’s because Spartak “don’t have enough time” even though the Russian transfer window is open longer.

You’re hovering dangerously close to a downvote there Bear.

The idea of securing a replacement before you sell an important player only seems weird cos you’re Southampton fan, and it is not Our Way. It’s actually quite sense if you think about it.

I see nothing wrong with selling your best player on, say, 1st Jan, and then waiting a month before not even replacing him at all.

It does make sense, good point bear, I think it’s too easy these days to become embroiled in the hype of the transfer market and… hey wait a minute no changing the subject, i’m pretty sure there was something important you were supposed to be telling us.

Leicester offloading their chaff
Seems bollox. I thought that they had already signed a replacement? If they havent the Russian window is still open for a few more weeks so they have more time.
They had an attacking midfielder pass a medical yesterday, but the signing hasn’t gone through because his club Anderlecht were signing his replacment and also there was late interest from Burnley. You can’t really blame them for signing a replacment before they let him go. I wish we did that.
But. Actually the bigger sticking point will be that Spartak want all the fee up front. Saints are never going to agree to that.
See you in a few days
Maybe this’ll get the spanner out of the clogs then
Whoops, clogs 
Meant cogs…
