Nor were any scouts, yet they'd also be involved in the discussion. So it is clearly not a full list.

Is the Maddison deal really a stick to beat the club with? If so... why exactly? Would you like another van Dijk sulk situation this summer, this time with Tadic?

Why? Head of recruitment and 1st team manager listed. That is what you'd expect.

I'm confident you haven't got a shred of evidence for that. Southampton's wage budget dwarfs Norwich's. If Saints were offering £25m for a player, he'd be offered a huge wage far in excess of what Norwich pay him.

1) Do you think if Leicester had not bid for Maddison he would be a Southampton player? 2) Is it really a bad situation if Leicester beat us to a £25m signing?

Why have you jumped to that conclusion on 21st June? How do you know what will happen in the rest of the window? It appears Saints made a huge bid for Maddison, so how is that not showing a willingness to spend?

I'm not saying it is going to definitely or likely to happen any time soon, but you know it is 2018 and as recently as 2016 Saints finished 6th don't you? So to rule it out ever happening again is a little extreme.

Not really, he has seemingly spent the majority of his time as a central midfielder, where as Mane was in the attacking positions. Record for both at Salzburg... Amadou Haidara = 36 games & 4 goals = 0.1 goals per game Sadio Mane = 87 games & 45 goals = 0.5 goals per game Mane is an attacking midfielder/winger/striker and a goalscorer, Haidara is not.

Enlighten me as to why signing a player 2 weeks ago, today or in 7 days matters when training does not start for 10+ more day!? I can't see why pointing that fact out makes me a "troll".

Because it hasn't signed a player 10+ days before the players start pre-season? I'm not sure why you are using that as a stick to beat the club with. If a player signed today, he would not be training tomorrow, they don't start probably until July!

Nope, they lost the playoff semi final to Aston Villa. Wolves, Cardiff and Fulham were promoted.

I doubt he had much to do with it.

AH FECK IT! FED UP WITH BRIIIICK

Why have you concluded it is indecision? That is jumping to conclusions on no evidence. It is 20th June, the players go to China for the start of pre-season in 10 days time. If a player signed today he wouldn't have training tomorrow. It is still early now.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? IF THERE IS ANY NEWS OF PLAYERS LEAVING THE OS WILL LET US KNOW.

Were the people you spoke to about it?

The British media is not the only thing I wrote... I used an "or"

Not by the British media or people in British football for a move between two English clubs. Shame, because I voted remain.

I did acknowledge the further payments might not happen, but Heisenberg ignores them every time regardless and opts for the lower figure to bash the club.

Would be odd if it was not pounds sterling. Why would we buy a player from an English club in Euros?

You know transfers come with guaranteed money and then potential (but not always fulfilled clauses that hit targets and raise the price don't you...? Sadio Mane fee potentially rises to £38.5m... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/06/27/liverpool-could-end-up-paying-385m-for-sadio-mane/ Why do you continue bringing this up even though it keeps being explained to you that the £30m figure some media outlets used was likely to be the guaranteed money, the rest is in potential fees.

You use the Daily Mail for £12m. Here it is £15m... http://www.skysports.com/football/news/12040/10933764/west-brom-set-to-sign-jay-rodriguez-in-15m-deal-from-southampton Have you considered it could be a guaranteed £12m rising to £15m?

Are you saying that is high or low? Saints sold him for £15m.
