Because the Stoke City game is the final home game & final game of the season and such games regardless of opponents will have a very big demand. Businesses price things due to supply & demand.

Why such a vague post? What is that meant to mean?

McCarthy has already outgrown under 21 level football, that is why he went on loan to League 2 last season. He isn't going to be ahead of van Dijk, Fonte, Yoshida, Gardos this season, so half a season at least at a top League One team is better than his development reverting & regressing back to under 21 football.

Les Reed mentions in this video the club are looking at a deal with Championship, League One or foreign clubs (may stop now due to the UK voting for Brexit ) for a loan partnership near the end of this video... TODAY: The Walsall manager hinted today we may have such a deal with them going forward... http://www.saddlers.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/saddlers-snap-up-a-saint-3159510.aspx

Its not really the Daily Echo linking us, they are merely reporting what the local paper in the Midlands is saying here... http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/west-bromwich-albion-fc/2016/06/28/west-brom-transfer-news-southampton-want-to-replace-sadio-mane-with-saido-berahino/ Saido Berahino and Nathan Redmond have been good friends for a long time. Redmond started at Birmingham & they've been roommates with England.

The thread title needs changing based on this Telegraph article. £34.5m upfront & potentially could rise to £38.5m​ depending on how well Liverpool do... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/06/27/liverpool-could-end-up-paying-385m-for-sadio-mane/

Its £34m rising to £36m according to the BBC... BBC Solent Sport ‏@solentsport 2m2 minutes ago Sadio Mane will have a medical at Liverpool today, fee £34M rising to £36M, deal to be completed tomorrow #Saintsfc

How many Premier League goals (or in fact any goal) have you seen with good defending? For the majority of goals, someone has ****ed up somewhere.

Did you use Wikipedia where it currently say he has "18 French caps & 5 goals" all in 2016!? He plays for Morocco...

Nathan Redmond to replace Juanmi and perhaps Sofiane Boufal as a big money replacement for Sadio Mane...? http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Transfert-sofiane-boufal-lille-plait-a-southampton/699056

We've sold Juanmi, so he needs replacing in the squad.

The Telegraph reported we offered Koeman £86,000 per week (£4.5m p/a). There are not many clubs in world football that offer more. Is that not ambitious?

We got a lot closer to the Champions League without Pochettino & Cortese... than we did with them.

I doubt Man City are expecting Pellegrini to turn up for work again before his contract expires, what would be the point? So it would be pretty harsh for them to obstruct him looking for a new job.

Lets see a screenshot of the huge bet you must have put on it if you are so confident...

Southampton FC's Gordon Simpson sits down with journalists Paul Belverstone, Adam Blackmore and Adam Leitch to look ahead to the upcoming 2016/17 campaign. It is official Saints media content; so this is club approved and on the Saints YouTube channel...

The time to be concerned is not when we sell players to top clubs, its when the top clubs don't want our players... that would suggest we have had a decline in quality and hasn't happened. Top clubs wanting our player is a sign that we are extremely successful. The number of clubs that aren't "selling clubs" in world football is tiny 3/4/5 at most. We have just finished 6th, in the Europa League, have one of the biggest incomes/wagebills/transfer budgets in world football. We offered Koeman £86,000 p/w, those kinds of wages should be able to attract a high calibre of manager. The Sheff Weds manager story was The Mirror sports desk dartboard of random rumours for clickbait articles to get Saints & Owls fans to read their website yesterday. It appears to have worked on you! The Walter Zenga nonsense story was in the Daily Star! Why have you jumped to conclusions we are "drawing blanks", do you have anything remotely approaching good evidence for that? The journalists who Saints leak news to are Telegraph's Jeremy Wilson, BBC's Adam Blackmore & PA's Simon Peach... not the gutter press tabloids.

Pellegrini spent £44m, that is not a huge amount. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/malaga-cf/transfers/verein/1084/plus/0?saison_id=2011&pos=&detailpos=&w_s= Koeman spent a lot more than that at Saints in 2014/15.

Can you really, honestly not see why this is an utterly bizarre logical path to take? You've jumped to conclusions based on THE SUN randomly linking us to a no-hoper of a manager. Have you considered it is... - it is his agent touting him? - clickbait which you've fallen for? - A Murdoch newspaper running a story, minutes later Murdoch's Skybet add him to betting market and start encouraging people to give them money - one or all of the above? Random made up bull**** has no bearing or reflection on what the club is actually doing. Alpine you have a vast history on this forum of jumping to conclusions based on little or no evidence. That is why you are being mocked! You appear to have no capability of critical thinking.

Has hallmarks of... 1) agent's futile attempt touting no-hoper client who doesn't remotely tick any of Les Reed's criteria 2) bookie using press to try to get public to back no-hoper and manipulate the marker (conflict of interest with Murdoch newspaper and Murdoch Skybet) 3) clickbait 4) some or all of the above

How do you know it is "a fact"? It remains media speculation in the tabloids.

Malaga Before Pellegrini... 2009/10 - 17th (avoided relegation by 1 point!) Malaga With Pellegrini... 2010/11 - 11th 2011/12 - 4th 2012/13 - 6th To turn a relegation threatened team into a Champions League quarter finalist in just 3 years is extremely impressive! Villareal Before Pellegrini... 2003/04 - 8th Villarreal With Pellegrini... 2004/05 - 3rd 2005/06 - 7th 2006/07 - 5th 2007/08 - 2nd - Very impressive to get Villarreal 10 points ahead of Barcelona! 2008/09 - 5th Pellegrini in Europe... 2004/05 - Villareal - Quarter final UEFA Cup 2005/06 - Villareal - Semi final Champions League 2006/07 - Villareal - Lost Intertoto Cup 2007/08 - Villareal - Last 32 round UEFA Cup 2008/09 - Villareal - Quarter final Champions League 2009/10 - Real Madrid - Last 16 Champions League 2012/13 - Malaga - Quarter final Champions League 2013/14 - Man City - Last 16 Champions League 2014/15 - Man City - Last 16 Champions League 2015/16 - Man City - Champions League semi final

He took Malaga to the Champions League quarter final! Before Pellegrini... 2009/10 - 17th (avoided relegation by 1 point!) With Pellegrini... 2010/11 - 11th 2011/12 - 4th 2012/13 - 6th To turn a relegation threatened team into a Champions League quarter finalist in just 3 years is extremely impressive!
