There are rumours starting to circulate that Ferguson is wanted by Spurs again. The transfer if it goes ahead would involve Walker-Peters joining us on loan but it's difficult trying to agree on any deal involving Spurs as most already know with their installment plans and potential increases when they win the Premier League, Champions League and World Cup all in one season.

I’d be very surprised if WP doesn’t end up at Southampton mate

If we get £4m from Palace, then it's good business, ONLY as long as we insert a minimum 25% sell on clause... That for me will be key with this sale.
He don't want to be here, get rid.

I share your sentiment, but we are in no negotiating position to demand a sell-on clause

Don't ask and we deffo won't get. Besides, if they don't meet what we ask then we don't have to sell and he can rot and then fugg off to Europe and do a (L) Barry instead. I'd rather that then get screwed over.

Not sure that’s a very logical approach! Ferguson holds all the aces. But that’s our fault.

He's a great attacking outlet but he can't defend so I'm not overly fussed if he does go to Saints.

He probably wants Prem football and he knows he has a chance of that with us but it sounds like he's getting offers from Prem clubs (where he won't necessarily get first team opportunities) - so maybe he's just keeping his options open. I wouldn't blame him if that was the case. On that basis, I live in hope that he'll still be with us next season.
He could sign an improved deal and insist on a reasonable release clause should we fail to get up, protecting him and the club, alongside a hefty bonus and pay rise. We'd surely agree to that, and he'd get a move if he performs and we don't go up.
It would settle his mind and cement his place in the team now, plus maximise his chances of actually playing games in the Prem next season, which is where the big bucks come further down the line.
While I agree 100% with your idea, I would have thought this would have already have been offered and by declining to accept he has already decided the grass is greener. This bluff and double bluff doesn't sit well with me. If an offer come for him, IMO let him go
and find his way elsewhere.

With Palace, or any English club, we still hold some negotiation power - if they want the player, and given they allegedly offered c.£10m on deadline day Roy clearly rates him - it's in their interest to agree a deal with us now, as the summer will see a compensation agreement which will most likely be more than their current offer.... unless of course they can do a deal with a big European side to take him and sell him on in 6-12months when he's homesick of course.
