If we release him, don't we have to pay off the remainder of his contract?
is this happening? we should well get on that.
This napoli loan shite is why I hate to see players over 27 go on loan. The other club just watch the contract run down & hold every fucking card.

Calum Chambers: Arsenal set to sign Southampton defender
Arsenal are close to completing the signing of Southampton defender Calum Chambers for a fee of about £16m.
The England Under-19 international underwent a medical on Friday.
Chambers, 19, has made 25 senior appearances for the Saints and Arsenal see him as an option at right-back, centre-back or in a more advanced role.
Arsenal have also enquired about Saints midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, 24, who played for France at the World Cup.
Chambers would become Arsenal's third summer signing following the arrivals of Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez and Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy.
He would be the latest player to leave St Mary's this summer following the departures of Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana to Liverpool and Luke Shaw to Manchester United.
Defender Dejan Lovren is also set to undergo a medical with Liverpool after the clubs reached agreement on a £20m move.
And Tottenham have made an enquiry for Saints striker Jay Rodriguez.
Any confirmed Chambers deal is likely to see right-back Carl Jenkinson, 22, leave Arsenal on loan to gain regular first-team football.
They are getting plundered but are well compensated for it.
Pretty sure Chambers will turn out to be a good investment for Arsenal, wouldn't have minded him here really but we can't keep buying their players.

Almost a £100m before any potential Jay Rodriguez or Morgan Schneiderlin deals. A lot of money but they now have to replace 6-7 first team players, they'll probably spend £40-50m doing that. I'd hate to be a Southampton fan, they must be gutted.
@cloggypop - how did Feyenoord play under Koeman? I vaguely recall that he wasn't liked in Valencia, with his team labeled boring I think. His record seems spotty at best outside of the Netherlands, but the Southampton fans seem to come across as being pleased to have landed him and I get the impression that they expect his team to play attractive football.
What's going to happen to Jenkinson? To centre-half?
Moved on probably, somewhere like West Ham/Palace would be my guess.
I was surprised when reading that, that they have only signed Sanchez plus a right back from the Geordies. I thought they'd bought a few top £30m+ European talents, they way the usual suspects have been pouring adoration over their Summer spending again, based on every major link that gets printed. While we actually buy a few players and get called amateurs, or whatever.
Apparently they are offering jenkinson on loan as part of the deal.
They were decent enough to watch. Finished last season with 3 at the back so a bit more defensive than normal and came second to Ajax. They were skint when he took over though. They had nearly gone bust a couple of seasons before and were still selling their best players every year and replacing them with free signings or bringing the youth through. It will be interesting to see if the Southampton board expect the same from him or if they will give him all the cash.
Playing 3 at the back made them *more* defensive than normal?
Yeah, 3 CBs with wing backs. 3-5-2 or 5-3-2.
They are normally the traditional Dutch 4-3-3. He switched before LVG did.

Manchester United and Liverpool have been handed a deadline by Juventus if they are to move for Arturo Vidal.
According to reports in Italy, the Old Lady have told prospective suitors they will only entertain offers up until August 2 - the day before the players depart for their pre-season tour of Asia.
Vidal has been linked with a move to Old Trafford all summer, with Liverpool also reportedly showing interest. But despite the Chilean international repeatedly stating he is unsure where his future lies, no official offer has yet been made. And now Italian newspaper Tuttosport claims Juve have told United and co. next Saturday is the cut-off date for a deal to go through.
Louis van Gaal is said to be ready to offer £39m for the midfielder, but reports suggest Liverpool are willing to hijack United's move with a £42.5m bid.

Nah, I'm not having that.
Do Adidas not get a cut from the shirt sales?
Neither am I. That's about a quarter of all Real's sales in 2013
Poor the Oncy.
A dark day indeed.
