The fee for this chap is a potential 1.5 million euros. Unless there is something in it for Saints i can’t see a clause having been set in his contract setting a date for a move to Arsenal, unless this was the grounds that he signed -although i’d imagine its more informal with the Walcott case being cited as a likely outcome…. i guess they would have also used the threat of selling hime to Spurs if he turns out to be a leming !!

Hello guys, first post time.
The Bischoff situation reminds me of Wenger’s first signing. An unknown frenchman playing in AC Milan’s reserves. Can’t remember his name, I guess he never made it too….
If Wenger’s eye for an uncut gem falls favourably then who are we to be confused. I wouldn’t have thought a lower league french team to supply us with the best Left Back this season either.

There could be a “Gentlemens agreement” between the two clubs i.e. give the lad experience (if he’s good enough to earn a first team place) see how he copes in a more physical environment and assess the situation at the end of say two full seasons. Arsenal then pay Southampton a fee to cover what Southampton have invested in the player………just a thought.

On the other hand what happens if he turns out to be a flop? Although reports do suggest that Saints initial outlay isn’t anywhere near the £1.5m being quoted by some sources, it is more likely to be rising to £1.5m dependant on certian factors, which isn’t a lot in this market. If he has two really good seasons in the CCC his market value could be well in excess of this figure!! Saints therefore pay the full £1.5m and could then command a much higher figure from Arsenal, that way Saints don’t lose out and Arsenal get a well developed player!!

I think you Arsenal fans are halfway up your own arses I really do.

Has it occurred to you that Southampton actually do have one of the best academies in the UK and that is why Morgan has joined them.

Expect to see Saints back in the top flight before very long.

Thing is, Wenger doesn’t normally let his really good players out on loan at all. Think Walcott, Wilshire, Ramsey Cesc, Denilson, Traore, Clichy, etc. The ones who go on loan are dicey or agitate for one themselves. I fail to see why Wenger would bother to arrange a deal with Southampton over this kid if he didn’t rate him enough to bring him to Arsenal.

Sad Arse is a dick.
Walcott, Bentley, Pennant, Sidwell, Muamba, Randall, Hoyte, and probably others are all recent ENGLISH players who play for Arsenal, or are playing regularly for other teams, after having been at ARSENAL.
People shouldn’t express an opinion about things they know NOTHING about. Prat.

Looks like Sad Arse is exactly what his/her name says!
