How about someone like Chalobah? Young, English. Don't know if he's a box-to-box midfielder though?

Whether a big club comes in this summer and picks him up for £8m or next summer and gets him for nothing, they'll be getting a bargain. Why would Zonz commit now, our offer isn't going to get smaller in 12 months and he'll have suitors no matter what. All he's betting against by signing now is not getting a career-ending injury. We'd all do the same in his position. Just have to hope that the weak spots in his game put off the bigger fish from making a firm offer, but I suspect they won't.

All very inevitable.
All very disappointing.

Btw we should all remember Southampton lost "key players" last summer and found a way to replace them and finished higher in the table. We can do the same if we have to do it as well. (That's the most positive thing I've ever said) Exactly my thoughts re Southampton. At the end of the day we have been lucky since we've been in the Prem when it has come to holding onto our better players, we are bound to loose one at some point ,possibly 2 with Bego, though N'Zonzi leaving will be a lot harder to take than Bego leaving.

It's the same as last season. N'zonzi announces he's loving life at Stoke. Then a few weeks later his dad turns up asking for a move.

Reckon he's after more money. Should be one of the top earners at the club as he's one of the best players. Offer him a contract that puts him on the same wage as the top earners and if he says no cash in now whilst we can still get some money for him. Id take Dembele, Sergi roberto and Loftus cheek as potential replacements. Doubt we will get cabaye

If no-one comes in for him then he's going to run his contract down. How will he apply himself if he does that and how will we react to him? I guess if he plays like last season and we improve on our league placing then it's not a total disaster…….

He could also sign a contract with a clause in it, if he wants to leave for champions league football then fair enough nobody can moan at him for that, but leaving us without a significant fee for a player of his quality would be shitty on his behalf imo

Asking people to pay 40+ quid to watch someone waiting to leave is not something we or any club should be doing. If it gets to the point where we know we are losing someone for nothing then it's lose lose anyway. Must look after the club first.

£6,000,000?????? Considering some of the shit that goes for TWICE that money, the club are being a little silly. Let him go (for the right price) if a player doesn't want to play for the club then fuck him!

Fer ran him ragged the year before too. He is worth a punt. Plus we have Muniesa???? I know it's a big ask.

This is all his Dad playing agent (poorly once again) and trying to drum up top dollar for his kid (and a nice agent fee for himself). The article clearly states his father met with the club not Fonz. Not to say he would not look to move if a CL club came in with a good offer, but if that does not materialize expect another one year extension just so we can relive the same thing again next year.

Didn't Scholes say at the weekend that we're confident he will sign a new deal? Unfortunately Scholes is in Chile in his role as Chief Scout checking out all the hidden gems from the Copa America. Haven't I just seen him on a picture with our new signing at the training ground? Scouts players and travels at the speed of light apparently!

Let him go (for the right price) if a player doesn't want to play for the club then fuck him! And if we don't let him go he walks for free in 12 months. We won't get what he is worth because of that. I don't see a player who will be out of contract just as the big TV deal kicks in extending his contract now. If Nzonzi and Begovic are still at the club when the window closes then we are resigned to them both leaving for free.

Leroy Fer would be my choice if we had to replace him. Similar player, probably not as good but then again there aren't many that are Fonz's dad does seem like a colossal shitbag doesn't he, hopefully it's an attempt to drum up wages and that's it

Percy is pretty good but he does get stuff wrong and we have been down this road with N'Zonzi before. I was under the impression that his Dad didn't speak for him anymore as well? Correct,his father no longer represents him.That quote could have come from last year?

Everyone needs to calm their fucking tits. It's just an article and this happens every summer transfer window. Wait until anything is said from Nzonzi or the club themselves.
