| Aston Villa make a bid for THB on 18:30 - Aug 20 with 2926 views | 1885_SFC | Yep, bye bye THB. Eventually Villa will offer the asking price and he'll be gone. I just hope that even though the season has now kicked off, those in power manage to acquire some real quality where it matters ; a bloody good striker still, a replacement for Shea Charles, and now a replacement for THB. Fingers crossed we have irons in the fire & were expecting these sales. |  |

His replacement should already be in the building The issue now is we need another to replace Slack |  | |  |
| Aston Villa make a bid for THB on 18:46 - Aug 20 with 2867 views | Southamptonfan | 18 million is well below our asking price. Villa know full well the THB will want to go and we will be forced to sell a player demanding to leave at a cheaper price. |  |

To be fair to Spors he's got good deals for players when they've been sold recently 30 million was a good deal for Charles, we got a good fees for Dibling and Fernandes last summer and we got a knock on from him moving to Spurs and Ballard going to Bristol I seem to recall an interview with Solak earlier this summer where he alluded to not standing in the way of a couple of players who'd been here a while and greatly contributed to the team last season, I assumed he was talking about Taylor and Shea there I'll be glad when the window has "slammed shut" in just over a weeks time, be prepared to brace yourself for others potentially going. Nothing we can do about it, just have to hope the money brought in is invested wisely in good quality replacements [Post edited 20 Aug 18:57]

Yep, but this explains why the players weren't at it against Watford. A good number of players have their heads elsewhere and Saints won't settle until the transfer window closes and everyone knows where they stand. |  |

I think must reasonable people would have expected of a least a couple at of our stars to leave after not getting promoted. Let’s face it Charles and THB are not championship players when fully on form . I just hope we can keep Jander, Azaz and Scienza and we really need to get some more quality in the remainder of the window. Spors hasn’t got much wrong lately so let’s see what he can do. West Ham, Wolves and Boro have been very active in the window so Saints need to step up and they need to hurry up and shift the deadwood. |  |

I think we're also hamstrung financially by still having Ramsdale, Bazunu, BBD, Sugawara and Downes still here. The combination of their weekly wages must be eye watering Every club has to sell their best players if they were going for promotion and missed out, that's fine as long as your scouting and recruitment is good. Coventry lost Gykores, Hamer and O'Hare over a couple of seasons, but their recruitment was good and they replaced wisely. I just hope we can too |  |

| Aston Villa make a bid for THB on 20:16 - Aug 20 with 2590 views | Bridders2 | I'd be shocked if we get less than £35m for him. 2 years on his contract still so tell them to do a flying f**k. And come back next year. |  |

| Aston Villa make a bid for THB on 20:23 - Aug 20 with 2565 views | PatfromPoole | We will unfortunately owe Villa instalment payments for the purchases of both Archer and Dobbin. It could be that it suits both clubs for this to be netted off against our valuation of Harwood-Bellis, such that the official fee is say £18 million, but in reality it is £25 million as Villa agree to waive any future payments due on the 2 players they sold to us. Possibly. That may help for Financial Fair Play, or whatever the fcuk it is called now. |  |

We CANNOT rely on Slack and AN Other this season We will need two good replacement now if he is off |  | |  |

Look what happened to Jan Bednarek when he went to Villa. It didn't work for him. The very same could happen to THB. I think Finn Azaz will be the next one to go, his body language wasn't good at Watford. [Post edited 21 Aug 7:53]

| Aston Villa make a bid for THB on 10:17 - Aug 21 with 1779 views | Ifonly | Looks like Villa have the option of taking Tomori from AC Milan for about £15m. Milan want to sell and he's a similar level to THB, if not better. I don't think they'll be signing THB. |  | |  |

Don’t we all shooters but it’s not looking optimal at the moment is it. Ross Stewart gone and replaced by a Man City loan who’s main claim to fame appears to being sent off for diving againsts us last season. Che Charles who arguably was our best midfield player gone and replaced by nobody. T B H allegedly putting in a transfer request and probably on his way before the window shuts with no sign of a replacement. Something needs to change and change quickly if we are to be genuine automatic promotion contenders given that we are already seven points behind the top two teams. [Post edited 21 Aug 11:41]

Tomori is being offered cheaply because he's in the last year of his contract. The prices being quoted suggest that if we keep THB this year, then we'll get no more than £15m for him next summer. |  | |  |
