Player didn't sign because of slow Saints 15:30 - Sep 29 with 2106 views | Saintsforeverj | http://sportwitness.co.uk/things-little-slow-southampton-midfielder-reveals-reas 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.

Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 15:35 - Sep 29 with 2082 views | DorsetIan | Not surprising. A lack of cash (self-sustaining model) is always going to make us pretty pedestrian when it comes to agreeing transfers. | |

Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 15:40 - Sep 29 with 2064 views | Saintsforeverj | 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]

Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 15:56 - Sep 29 with 2040 views | RonManager | Adam Blackmore @AdamBlackmore · 2h #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]

Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 16:14 - Sep 29 with 2008 views | Saintsforeverj | 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]

Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 17:06 - Sep 29 with 1924 views | Poirot | 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]

Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 17:12 - Sep 29 with 1912 views | Kennington | When did the FA start giving out work permits? That’s the Home Office, so it’s either complete bollox or poorly worded. | |

Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 17:19 - Sep 29 with 1897 views | Saintsforeverj | 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. | |

Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 19:13 - Sep 29 with 1776 views | Sadoldgit | 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! | | | |
Player didn't sign because of slow Saints on 19:24 - Sep 29 with 1750 views | Saintsforeverj | So when the player was asked about moving to Southampton, why didn't the player just say "I was refused a work permit?" | |
