Too good to be true.
Liverpool, Man U and Woolwich being linked, Woolwich apparently have been quoted close to 72 million , I don't think we're in the running. I'd love to be proven wrong though.
What could go wrong signing a young player from France with one decent season behind him for more than £60m?
Not if we are selling Son. Some weird body language between them two.
Between Harry and Son?
We would be off our rocker to sell Son.
Son's been here for 5 years, maybe 'time for a new challenge' etc.
That's bs Son ain't keaving
Sorry, I may have been a bit vague. From what I have watched, Romeu does the winning and passing off, whereas Hojbjerg is far more likely to try and make things happen and can find himself turning it over more. Just my eye test this season and have no stats to back that up.

Ah - yeah, that makes sense!
I was actually very impressed with Romeu tonight. He is surprisingly press resistant, well able to pass off both feet and seems quite an intelligent player too. He knows his limits, when and where to pass.
Whilst he's not the DM we need, he's most certainly the type of DM we need.
And for me that is because one has been a DM his whole career and the other was brought up as a B2B midfielder.
There have been rumours about Son wanting to go even before Poch left, he also nearly wanted left after his first season. Additionally he would make a tidy profit and you know how ENIC love a tidy profit, 3 years left on his deal. I wouldn't want it, but you never know with Levy.
A couple windows ago, when I was on the SC forums, I called out for him in January as a Wanyama replacement when we were crying out for some more mettle in the center.
He keeps it simple and agreed, he is a good shielder of the ball.
He scored 18 goals and had 6 assists in all competitions (38 games) at 21 years of age. Any reason to doubt his age?
He already knows how to score against Chelsea.
Surely we would add him to pair up with HK? Can’t see why he would come here to be a back up.
4-4-2...
Midfield of Son, GLC, DM, and Steve / Lucas plus the two STs... I like the concept!

Southampton played the majority of the season with Hojbjerg and Ward-Prowse in their double pivot. Two hard working players. Romeu is for sure the more defensive minded of their options - when he plays, it is exactly how you described.
Osimhen has scored 4 goals in Ligue 1 against teams in the top half of the table and 2 of those were against 10th place Strasbourg.
£60m?
