Rennes President has today confirmed that Salisu will be joining Southampton as he has now obtained the work permit. Admitted that Salisu also made it clear that Southampton and the Premier League, was always his first choice.
Reckon the club will announce his signing 1 hour before kick off on 1st day of the season when teams are announced?
It never ceases to amaze how deals can be done in about 8 minutes on deadline day yet any other time of year it takes weeks
Don't give any notice either - just one morning every summer declare it is transfer window day - clubs have 24 hours... go. Would be one hell of a day!
Jim white is irritating but not as the bad as the journo who emphasises every word he says, cant think of the guys name now.
A lot is also about media staging. Just the way it is. They want to manage the announcement and have a load of good press and **** for sponsors. They’ve got a new kit to sell too goddamn it. Covid has made that part difficult. It’ll happen.
