PSV signed the player within 2 days. We fussed about trying to get the wages down etc. How can we expect to sign anyone, when other clubs just "get it done" ?
Before anyone says "don't slag off the club", just displaying a quote from a player. I mean here it is, proof that we fuss around and quibble, ending up in nobody being signed. [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 15:36]

Not surprising. A lack of cash (self-sustaining model) is always going to make us pretty pedestrian when it comes to agreeing transfers. | |

Yep. Saints are like sheep against lions. We don't stand a chance when our competitors are showing vastly more ambition and funds. We will end up with a player that nobody else wanted. [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 15:41]

#saintsfc Referring back to this tweet below because Sangaré has come out and said Saints were slow, endearing himself to PSV
The FA refused him a work permit is what happened - not much player or club could do & was source of RH frustration when he said ‘missed out’ last week [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 15:57]

Why would a player be refused a work permit? Whatever the reason, whilst Villa spend for fun, Brighton spend for fun, Spurs get Bale, Everton get Rodriguez, Newcastle get Wilson, Palace get Eze and so on, it just seems so frustratingly hard for Saints in particular, to get any players in. Must just be unlucky. [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 16:16]

Not totally sure but Blackmore mentioned his age, 19. | |

Coming from a second division side like Toulouse and not enough international caps.
Club must have anticipated this event ?
Clearly the club are playing the long game and hoping to grab a bargain as the transfer door starts to close. Risky game as we need nailed on players and not anything less after £80M spunked up the wall. [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 17:08]

When did the FA start giving out work permits? That’s the Home Office, so it’s either complete bollox or poorly worded. | |

There is the EFL window as well, of course.
Few potential bargains to be had from clubs facing financial ruin... |  |

And why would the player himself say it was Saints being slow. He didn't need to say that. He could have said anything to appease PSV, such as he just couldn't turn them down. And a work permit is very rarely refused, unless for criminal reasons etc. We all know the real reason he didn't sign. | |

There are a number of reasons why a work permit will be refused. I don’t see why they would lie about it when it is easily checked. He also said in effect that he was delighted to be joining a club like PSV, so hardly a hard choice for him as it is a big step up.
We still have a week to go. No need for the rubber sheets just yet! |  | | |

So when the player was asked about moving to Southampton, why didn't the player just say "I was refused a work permit?" | |
