He did say that Rohl didn't want to go to Southampton though which is clearly nonsense.
Charles does want to go back there though. I don't think we will end up with him.
He’s a Manchester lad and his kid brother is a contracted goalie at Wednesday, so being at SWFC is a good domestic setup for him.
He’s one of our considerations (if available) but not our main target, so it’s always been unlikely he’ll come here.
I don’t think Southampton will play him much in the PL this season so his progress might stall or even regress if he goes back to Southampton.
It’s probably best for all parties if he serves out the 2nd half of the season at Hillsborough
But it seems that Southampton know SW have themselves a bargain, so are rightly now asking for a bigger wage contribution from SW.
Normally the loaning club just pay the increase but Chansiri can be erratic and might refuse, meaning Southampton might listen to new loan options.
If United are facing difficulty getting their number 1 target which appears to be Hamza Choudhury.
Then it’s possible we might try to bring in Charles on loan paying most or all his salary, don’t think Southampton will sell unless it’s crazy money
But you never know we might offer £15 million dependant on promotion or with an option to buy. Doubt it though.
