I'd trust the Telegraph more than The Sun, a fee potentially rising to £38.5m... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/06/27/liverpool-could-end-up-paying-385m-for-sadio-mane/

No it doesn't. 'confirm' Establish the truth or correctness https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/confirm It is an article in The Sun!

Tablecloth press conferences are back! This time for announcing tinpot sponsorship deals... BBC Solent Sport‏ @solentsportFollowingFollowing @solentsport More #Pompey have announced the University of Portsmouth will be their main sponsor for the next 3 seasons

The position has now been filled.

Name some clubs that have had a similar number of high quality players to us. Palace, Villa, Sunderland, Stoke, West Brom, West Ham, Swansea etc etc simiply haven't had the number of high quality players we've had in the last 5 years. They left for the richest clubs in the world, that isn't a bad sign it is a positive one. Better to have had them and sold them, then plod along never signing a player the top clubs will want.

Other clubs have managed to keep players on such wages with parachute payments in the Championship. Plus unless we were daft many if not all the players would have wage decreases on relegation written into their contracts.

£5m! What extras? Because they'd have to be significant because he is worth a lot more than £5m. He has a decent amount of Premier League experience and is doing very well for a top Championship team. Half decent seasons in the Championship is seeing players go for £15m+, let alone £5m with 4 years left on your contract! I'd see Saints having very little incentive to sell a player like him for £5m especially when he is under contract until 2022. We got £16m for Chambers in 2014, the market has moved on since then.

How do you know when you don't know what "it" is? Why can't you put a number on it?

Because you need to state what a "reasonable fee is", because our view of what counts as an acceptable fee could differ. So it is a key point and valid question to ask

You'd need to be more specific as to what the fee offered was and the structure of it.

Targett is under contract until 2022, if Saints don't want him to leave he won't.

We can blow them out of the water for wage offers... Celtic wage bill 2016/17 = £52m Southampton wage bill 2016/17 = £112m If relegated parachute payments and sponsorship deals will still allow for a big wage budget.

I wouldn't rule it out completely, even in the Championship we'd probably have a bigger wage budget than Celtic.

Did you? Distance as the crow flies... Southampton to Tokyo = 6,014 miles Riyadh to Tokyo = 5,414 miles

Are they going? He is only 29 years old, he isn't exactly past it... nor would he be cheap.

Do you regularly goto Eastleigh games? Football Manager is looking for an Eastleigh researcher for FM19. Details of what it involves and how to apply can be found in the link below. Plus you can ask me any questions you have. https://community.sigames.com/topic/381687-fm-research-vacancies-how-to-contact-head-researchers-and-how-to-get-involved/?tab=comments#comment-10478391

I meant 2 more points. It is possible for us to stay up on 34 points, with a draw vs Everton & Swansea and defeat vs Man City.

It is possible for Saints to stay up with only 2 more points... Swansea lose to Bournemouth Swansea draw with Saints Swansea lose to Stoke Saints draw with Everton Saints draw with Swansea Saints lose to Man City Stoke lose to Palace Stoke beat Swansea West Brom fail to beat both Spurs and Palace Which would see Saints stay up, bar a big swing in goal difference... 17th Saints 34 points ....... 18th Swansea 34 points 19th Stoke 33 points

It is a rule every player in Spain has to have a release clause fee in their contract. Just because Sisto's is £36m it doesn't mean you couldn't sign him for less than that.

How we did vs Everton in 1971 or 1996 has no bearing on what will happen at the weekend.

28th April 2018 - St Portsmouth Day A movable feast like Easter, that usually falls in March, April or May. It is the day it became mathematically impossible for Southampton to play Portsmouth in a league game until August 2019 at the earliest.

'Faith' is the excuse people give when they are not supported with good evidence, if you had good evidence you wouldn't need faith.

Why is it a **** up? Bertrand is better than Targett. If Targett hadn't gone on loan it is unlikely he'd have played a minute thus far for Saints in the league. McQueen is fine to be the back up for the rest of the season.
