SuperSAINT

Either we get very angry, or Semedo is the 2017 version of Astori.

You forgot to add the bit where Saints/Liverpool both add their respective spin to the media about how big / how small the fee really was.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp messaged Virgil van Dijk regularly to persuade Saints star to join Reds: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-klopp-van-dijk-transfer-10573311

& lets not forget who the agent is. The same one who Ronald signed up with shortly before his trip up north.

You don't agree with my valuation? The whole point of the article is that Mendy is valued at £40m, which has made City look to Berty instead.

LOL. We didn't p*ss it away, we used it to buy more players that you're going to give us even more money for

Will be very interesting to see how much their net spend is this summer.

That's puts a spanner in the works.

"They regard a fee as £50 million or £60 million as insufficient for a player who only signed a long-term contract last summer until 2022" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/06/06/southampton-toreport-liverpool-premier-league-overvirgil-van/

Thanks for posting, Les

BOSZ IN AT DORTMUND Borussia Dortmund are expected to announce today that Peter Bosz is their new head coach. Bosz has been the Ajax manager for just one season. They finished second in the league – one point behind Feyenoord – and were beaten in the Europa league final by Manchester United. Bosz will replace Thomas Tuchel, who left Dortmund last week after winning the German Cup final.

He better not go for any less than £30m.

BERTRAND EDGES TO CITY MOVE Manchester City have made a significant step closer in their pursuit of England left-back Ryan Bertrand after Monaco slapped a £40m price tag on Benjamin Mendy. Sky Sports News HQ understands that Bertrand, along with his fellow England full back Kyle Walker, could be Manchester City players in less than a fortnight. SSNHQ reported in April that Bertrand and Walker were both on City’s top five list of targets in the forthcoming summer window – and we understand some aspects of the deal for Bertrand have already been agreed. The deal would see the full back more than double the £55,000 a week he’s presently on at St Mary’s.

We go through this every time...

Certainly matches up with him saying "non" to Saint Etienne FC.

He'll fit right in then.

I love Sigurdsson. I think he's brilliant - But can we stop thinking he'd be available at £20m. Swansea are likely to want £35m+

I'm starting to think Les has got Chelsea & City blocked on his phone.

Caulker & Taider are 2 of our summer stunners.

I think it's why they join us in the 1st place.

Would likely mean Lander (or whoever) would get the club for £60m cheaper as he's an asset.

Bascombe is ex-Liverpool Echo & is the Liverpool version of Wilson.

For history buffs: Ronald resigned & joined Everton June 14th of last year (Which is a week this Wednesday).

I'm late to the party, but noticed this from the clued-in Paul Joyce earlier: @_pauljoyce: Liverpool will now attempt to negotiate what will be a world record deal for a defender with Southampton. Fee could reach around £60m. I love how Liverpool openly brief the media about the sheer size of the fee, and then will media brief how low it is once it's done

Probably 2 of the most unlikely things ever! *Please be wrong* *Please be wrong*
