He's not a poor transfer, it's more the fact that we seemed happy to pay £7m for a third choice left back who had never played a first team match, yet are haggling over a lower fee for a proven international for a top nation. It's weird.

what? We've offered €5m, they want €7m, about £6.1m where did you get £12m from? What is ludicrous is how much do you think we should pay for an proven exerperienced international player from a team that reached the world cup semi final? Less than an 18 year old left back who is at best 3rd choice and until this season had never started a first team game perhaps?

He's put his colours to the mast on this one. We aren't negotiating from a position of strength, every club in frigging Europe will look at the league table and know we need to do something and they'll know in what positions. Dicking around over a couple of million for a quality proven experienced player who could come in and make a difference straight away strikes me as insanity. As others have pointed out, we've paid that for young kids who have barely played a game this season. Mental.

true. I was in a Ferrari garage earlier and some geezer came in dressed in a mcdonalds outfit, covered in grease and oil, he asked them what's the best price they could do on an F8 Spider, he smiled, got out a fresh £20 note from his overall and said, "will you take this as the first months installment?"

WE DONT BUY SUCCESS WE BREED IT WE DO DEALS ON OUR TERMS WHEN WE WANT WE WILL NOT BE PUSHED AROUND

Similar story with Danny Mills when he renegotiated his Leeds contract after become an England international. He was supposedly on about £25k with his first contract, before the meeting with Risdale it was agreed with his agent they would ask for about £40k, on the way to the meeting they decided to go balls out and ask for nearer £50k not expecting to get anywhere near it, he ended up walking away with a deal for about £60k. Its on a podcast called Under the cosh you can hear where Mills tells the whole story along with some other good stuff about his time as a player.

Why would anyone be unhappy about that? Weird

He’s blocked me but apparently he also said keep an eye on Ings back to saints. I’m still keeping an eye on the new contract he said Ings and Bertrand signed 👀

They’re going to have have to order some more wristbands. The ones spelling out Orsic are no good now. Although we could have some hilarious bantz with #Bednaback

We’ve got to check the data and the stats to make sure the formula is correct. Plus we won’t be pushed around, we do deals on our terms when we want.

Another completely bonkers point 🤣 Some seem to still think £12-£15m is big money for us, we were spending that 10 years ago on the likes of Ramirez and Osvaldo. If you want to buy quality it costs money and sometimes you have to pay a bit more than you’d like it’s a very simple concept however much you want to blather on about Burger flippers buying Ferraris or something

yet you’ve provided several examples of it only working negatively, along with you little made up bonkers scenario were for some reason we spend millions more on players we signed anyway leaving nothing left. you want to live in a world where we refuse to pay any more than we want to for good players. A world that is our current reality and it’s going bloody brilliantly.

Because you plucked a random name out of the sky of a player who was a flop and said if we’d have paid more we could have ended up with him. So I did the same with a player who we missed out on for the sake of £1m who was a huge success. I’d have thought that would have been obvious. You pay more for good players improve your team, generally these players attack a lot of interest which pushes the price up, crap players cost less and don’t have the same level of interest it’s kind of how a transfer market works.

Who is Jack Rosser? Sounds like an Eastenders character

Maybe the wristbands will spell out the name of our new signing the length of the stand. just imagine how cool that would be

We also missed out on some fella called Marc Cucurella because we wouldn’t pay more than £15m, he signed for someone else for £16m wonder what happened to him?

Apart from the direct quote from our leaders saying we had two deals agreed, yes?

Who knows if they were or not, what we do know and has been stated by the clubs leaders is that two deals were close being done for two high profile attacking players and both didn’t happen, with strong rumours one didn’t happen because we were haggling over a couple of million. Unless the club are lying of course.

Imagine if we’d paid over the odds to get Gakpo and Ramos done, we’d have very little to do now

We’re going to have to score at least two to win then.

Why not, he’d be as effective there as Lyanco and Stephens and everyone seems to want them there

To put it into perspective we probably need to win as many games in our last 19 as we won in the whole of 2022, possibly more.

Another left back!! 🤣🤣 https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/23225755.will-jayden-oosterwolde-join-saints-transfer-window/?fbclid=IwAR3IDu-OdzVQoS6jDu2YYj_A32W-GXWF4GIqt1TY6Kf6Bv8lZX3gQ7-e_TQ
