Mr X

We will end up with AA, paying over the odds for him with the 40% sell on fee to Newcastle, around 22 million. Still a bit of a gamble as it could take some time to get to grips with the speed of the premier League and do we have time for that?

Shame the club don't bite the bullet to secure a deal for Abraham instead of pursuing the cheap option. 20 million plus one of our existing players. Would they want anyone though? Can't see any of our players getting into their first team

Seems he left to villa in his words as they had a stronger direction of where they want to be as a club.... Is that code for they offered me more money? It is true they have more money than us and bigger fan base... Good luck to Danny, hopefully he can deliver the goods for them or things could turn nasty If he has a baron spell.

Cos there valuation is crazy... Crazy to gamble that much on a player unproven at this level.

I think not all the money was invested back into new players from both the mane and VVD sales (80 million plus) may be wrong

The Southampton way get some one in cheap & the rest of money mysteriously dissapears

Exactly what we were told about ings 🤣

One things a certainty he will score against us 😜

Oh that's not so bad I though it was 20% of the overall sell value

I expected him to go, just wish the club would be honest for once and say if the right offer comes in we will sell, not peddle the same old bullshit of he's not for sale he's going nowhere, he will definitely be our player next season.... Same old story pure lies to the fans

We won't be getting that after deductions don't forget Liverpool had a high sell on clause

The replacement is an unproven championship player

Relegation beckons that's all I can say! Call me reactionary

This one looks promising Chelsea will undoubtedly buy him back if he fulfills his potential to reach a first class player but at least we can enjoy him for a few years. Anyone know why he turnt down Chelsea contract? Lack of playtime for them?

A good transfer window in a way would be keeping hold of the two or three "star" players we have, of not being a selling club for one season when big clubs are sniffing. That said it's probably not productive to have players around when their mind may be elsewhere

We are paying more than £75k for Forster to not even play for us much?

Wonder how much we offered him to be on the highest wages of any saint ever? Do you reckon 75k a week or not even that much? How much would he get at a top" club to be a bench warmer maybe £100k a week?

The club have lost the plot giving the likes of a carthorse and a has-been ex Saint new contracts!

I just wish it would get sorted now tbh as much as I'd love him to stay and sign he isn't going to, so let's get him gone at the right price (which could be difficult with the high Liverpool sell on clause) so it's not the one big distraction of the new season that disrupts everything. Are we going to have to try to replace the irreplaceable though?

Reports of 17 million asked from spurs surely they will snap that up! If he doesn't want to be here then there's not much point letting him leave on a free later, ings situation is different as his goals are the difference between relegation

This, though grateful to ings in providing the goals that mean we aren't already playing in the championship!

It seems Liverpool have a high sell on clause when we brought him so there's no chance he goes for less than 30 million

Who are we going to get in that's gonna score enough to keep us up? Anyone we did get in would need time to adjust to the team and we are in real danger of another repeat of last season but without the good start

Are they actually worth much though? 5-8 million for Redmond, maybe a bit more for dejenepo as age on his side?

At 23 does he have age on his side? Or is he as good as he's going to get? JWP developed late
