It’s all about money now, these people would flog their grannies for tuppence; fcuk the fans who enjoy watching players such as Tom Fellows. I am surprised, though, at Tom going to such a dump of a club as Southampton, a dead end, a wasteland.
Although unfounded…I consider that the the owners have made the right decision having weighed up the financial benefit and inevitable playing gap resulting. Whatever figure quoted, will of course not be the actual deal struck.
As an aside, Tom’s recent (albeit extremely short) form has not reflected last season. Opposition defenders are alive to countering his skills and his crossing has been average at best.
I am sorry to see him go, but understand the owners reasoning
I think thats fair. His form tailed off massively after Maja got injured.
I think weve had rose tinted glasses around Fellows value due to being home grown. He is a good player but limited. Those limitations mean he was never going to the premier league and not one of the best in the league.
He doesnt really excite me to be honest. Id love it if we went abroad and used our last ESC slot on a real game changer.
The bargains we have bought since Bilkul came in suggests we should trust their judgement.
I think his contract is not up until 2027 Soulman. He signed a new contract on the 26 January 2024.
His lack of form is likely due to all the speculation surrounding a move.
I wish him all the best. He will come back to haunt us I?m sure.
Great player with even more potential. Absolutely loved watching him.
Having already improved our finances this window, I cannot see us being open to sell Fellows unless we at least have a replacement in our sights-but the moot points will be whether we can actually sign them and, if we can, whether that incoming player can come close to matching Tom's ability-and his 14 assists.....
Money or not, I think we may rue this particular decision.
What I do not understand is his move to Southampton. A Premier league side, yes, but to a side with no better chance of promotion than us? A bit like Palmers move to Ipswich, unless it is money of course. Should keep him in my opinion.
