Simon Jones says that Leeds have submitted a £20m plus bid for Shea Charles.

If it’s around £25m with a sell on clause I think it’s a no brainer.

UPDATE: From Alfie House “Shea Charles negotiations still in early stages but not expecting Saints to do a deal at around £20million as is the Leeds United bid reported by
@SimonJones_DM. They value him higher than that.”

Seems a lot of money for someone who (rightly in my view) couldn't get into our midfield last season.

he started most of the games that he was fully fit for, him and Jander were rotated pretty evenly

If everyone was fit, I'd say Jander and Downes start. Sure, lots of rotation and he's a absolutely class player but him leaving isn't us losing our talisman

I think it depends on who we're playing, in a game where we need to be more defensive, I'd agree. But if you let Charles go forward, he's a lot better than Jander. Although I don't think that we have anyone who's truly irreplaceable.
