I think there's a limit we're willing to bid and if Spurs know it then they just bid more. The club will look at it with less emotion than us fans and will take into account his injury record when thinking about a valuation.
If we miss out on him I have faith the club will bring someone else in who can do a job.
We might have put a bid in on what the club realistically thinks he's worth and won't go above it, say £15M, Spurs might come along and slap a million or 2 on top of our bid, in which case we'll never get him.
I think the Morgan saga could drag on so any expensive replacements will also drag on. The cheaper players that are on a limited contract are probably relatively easy to get in but if we're eyeing players on £10m+ then there will be competition for their signatures etc and will take a while.
A professional doing his job, never offered his undying love and never slagged us off. Decent player, I like him but I won't give him a second thought now.
It seems that Man U are playing tricks with Clasie to get us to sell them Morgan http://www.givemesport.com/593946-manchester-united-enter-race-to-sign-jordy-clasie
Cheers for the service Clyne. That's it, we can forget about him now, was a solid professional but we move on. Hopefully we can spend the money wisely, I'm sure we will.
You were not at the home game against Villa then? Long is a quality player who can score quality goals but he brings more than just standing in front of the goal having shots.
Hopefully it's a case of making Man U come closer to 25m if we value him at 30m. They might have only offered 15-20m. It's all speculation though, hence we're writing it on a forum. If we get anything close to 30m we will have done well.
Ohh he's been a naughty boy! http://www.sde.co.ke/m/?articleID=2000167448&story_title=southampton-midfielder-victor-wanyama-forced-to-apologize-for-wearing-racist-tshirt
If he carries on playing well only a Champs league team can afford him, he's not going anywhere right now so no harm in offering him a few extra quid to extend his contract and he could still leave next year to a big club and we get a nice wedge for it.
