"Bent over"? The club can earn a world record for a defender £75m from the deal. Of course it would have been nice if some of the money was spent on a top centre back in Janaury rather than a portion of it seemingly wasted on Carrillo. Let's see what the summer wiindow brings in.

Saints fans can dance if they want to, We can leave Pompey behind, Cause the Skates don't dance and if they don't dance Well they're no friends of mine! Hopefully this dreadful season will be the kick up the arse the Southampton board need for a positive summer of improvement. Starting with the appointment of Mark Hughes next week & then player recruitment with some ambition shown!

It is from the same newspaper that made up the story van Dijk had a £25m minimum fee release clause... https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/virgil-van-dijks-35m-buy-9385313 Hard to take them seriously!

They've already had one, they don't need one at every remaining game.

That isn't what Hughes said today about Bednarek... https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-05-11/team-news-mark-hughes-pre-southampton-manchester-city-1718

I've recruited an undercover team to travel to present day Glasgow... To spy on you... The evidence they've sent back to my office is piling up!

I was correcting the account of someone using an alias account and did so with a after the post. I was not being entirely serious Eric!

We all know you aren't one for accuracy.... They have 105 league goals in 2017/18.

The English top league has not been called the Premiership since 2007.

Better to judge a player on his own merits rather than how his club did in one season.

How have you determined that?

Heisenberg is my alter ego

I'd use that word to describe your ability to judge player quality.

We have a better squad than Stoke. Saints are also currently playing better than Stoke and in a better place confidence wise. Of course Man City will want to win to get 100 points, but their players will be thinking of going to a World Cup injury free when they are faced with a 50/50 challenge on Sunday.

Zouma is not a contracted player in a relegated squad. The opening post of the thread asks about plundering relegated teams, Zouma is contracted to a team that will finish in the top 5. Stoke's relegation does not make Zouma cheaper to buy... he is a Chelsea player.

It doesn't match the criteria of the thread, as Chelsea have not been relegated so aren't there to be plundered.

To say a 62 year old former children's TV presenter is a better footballer than two Premier League regulars is not accurate. It is either a pathetic wind-up or delusional.

It would be better to judge a player on his on merits rather than how his club did in one season.

25th June 2016 when Nathan Redmond joined from Norwich City.

Zouma is a Chelsea player, the other two are not good enough.

You are right Batman, it is fake news! Finishing positions of Mark Hughes above 9th in the Premier League... 2005/06 - 6th 2007/08 - 7th 2010/11 - 8th
