The most recent available accounts show otherwise. Only 7 teams with higher wagebills is not "most of the Premier League". Swiss Ramble‏ @SwissRamble Apr 4More Following the growth, #SaintsFC £112m wage bill is the 8th highest in the Premier League, just behind Leicester £113m and only £15m lower than Tottenham, but ahead of Everton £105m.

What about wages?

A universe where coming bottom of the Premier League gets you circa £100m in TV money. £15m really isn't out of place for a player who did very well in the Championship last season.

Palace paid a similar amount for Benteke.

The Echo article does not say that. If he leaves on loan to Burnley he won't be playing at St Mary's, only if he is sold.

Fulltime 2-0

Nah, this is a fun sponge... I was just pointing out facts...

Yep, manager reps go up and down. We've previously had a former Liverpool manager and a former England manager as their stocks dropped to the point where they'd join us.

He is the Dijon goalkeeper, so he has a lot to do.

Struggle? More like impossible in current circumstances.

Charlie Austin just hit the bar.

Translation of Dijon's latest tweet is interesting... 49 ' Romeu Strike! It's flirting with Bobby Allain's skylight! (0-2) #DFCOsaintsfc

No, 2-0 to Saints. Gabbiadini scored in the 46th minute.

On every tweet there is a "translate tweet" button.

Lemina only trained on Friday this week, he is unlikely to be fully fit. Why have you just made that up?

He isn't in matchday squad...

The club said this to someone who asked them yesterday... Southampton FC‏Verified account @SouthamptonFC Replying to @ryansfcbishop14 They are being sent out from this week Ryan, so you should receive yours soon! #saintsfc

Shane Long 1-0

There are no streams of it. Southampton FC‏Verified account @SouthamptonFC 3h3 hours agoMore No, unfortunately, we are unable to provide a live stream from today's game, but we will have updates here. #saintsfc The club are providing short video clips on Twitter of notable moments...

Why is that luck? What exactly are you claiming "luck" to be? Does it manifest in reality in a detectable way?

They don't need to release it to the media to tap him up, just a private conversation with his agent would do.

His wages are likely to be the issue, not his transfer fee. Saints could offer him out for £0 but if no-one matches his wage demands he won't leave.
