SW5 SAINT

I still don't think that disaster would have happened if they had all been sat down!

Yeh, I remember it, People crammed together. People ****ing in beer bottles. You would think the recent Hillsborough inquest verdict would remind folk had bad it actually was. People should get over it. Hopefully those days so called good old days are gone forever. What ever next, standing at the cinema!?

Perhaps it should be down to the football authorities to restrict the number of players any club can transfer in, during a given period. Or even ban transfers between clubs at the same level. Or exercise some sort of controls over transfers. I'm sure someone will know, but is it American football that gives the weakest teams first pick of the college kids every year?

Only if we were mug enough to insert one!

From largely unknown Italian to their highest ever paid player, and to think he hadn't even been capped by Italy before he came to little old Southampton. I am genuinely sorry to see him go. I wonder if we shall ever find out exactly what Saints received for him, the £13m to 15m would suggest add ons!?

Be very sorry to see him go. Over the last couple of years Graziano seems to have been the player making me jump up, either at SMS or from the armchair and punch the air. Exploits both for Saints and Italy. Thanks for the memories and good luck.

Agreed it's not all about blowing huge amounts of cash all over the place. However, by the same calculations and reasoning any future spend on transfers by Southampton will also be spread over instalments going forward. As the money is mostly guaranteed, except for a couple of million here and there, that money is all potentially available by the board to spend now!

Don't forget Graziano...........magnificent tournament.

Agree with this. Are we meant to believe that if the result had gone the other way the brexiteers would have shut up. Farage was preparing, when he thought the result had gone against him to do just that. Indeed he was saying the battle had only just started.

I think we should be looking now increase the profit margins to more like £20m......

And probably fewer decent knees.......

Very well put.........

Perhaps we should check with Liverpool first, just to get an idea of what they are prepared to pay next summer.

We let Wanyama go to cheap.......

Because palace have far more ambition than Saints............

but we won't, probably have a brilliant(hopefully) season and we will be forced to do a cut price deal next summer...........

Lol.....maybe that's when he is contracted too.......

And we accepted £11m for Wanyama!!!!!

Oh please let him have the England job.........

Osvaldo passed it, so I imagine anyone can.......

I thought the article said with add ons it would rise to between £36m and 38.5m, meaning 36m guaranteed. Happily accept £36m if it means Liverpool having 4 crap seasons......

That list on Wikipedia lists Morgan's sale price at £29.1m!

Mugged again........

If spurs go else where, Wanyama doesn't seen to have any other options..........

Each position in the EPL next season is worth about £2.5m. For that alone, I would not expect Southampton to accept anything less than about £20m for Wanyama. Maybe more for spurs Liverpool, Everton etc....
