Are you forgetting that one is 18, and the other is 28? Your point has absolutely no relevance what so ever.

Exactly, and Tadic has a delivery to die for.... but don't think Gaston will be around.

It's a lot of money tbh, but as I've said - to have that sort of goal ratio at any level means you have something about you. A goal scorer is a goal scorer, put him in L1, NPC, PL, International - if he's a goal scorer and gets the service, he will score goals.

This will be a golden thread.

Those new training kits do no favours for people carrying a bit of timber...

That Cameroon would reach the final, 250/1. It couldn't have gone much more wrong if they'd tried.

Dejan Lovren @DejanLovren05 · Jun 27 Congratulations to @LukeShaw3 well done mate doesn't seem that bad to me tbh?

It seems as if the club have had to settle for a lesser deal, just to allow him the move.

Not really sure I find it funny tbh, it's all quite sad really. What a shame it all came to this, but never mind. We build again.

It's also interesting that he's had to bypass the club and go via the echo to make a statement. I think the club have cut all losses. I get from Weston's POV, he's a family friend - but it's hard not to be pretty disappointed by him over the last few weeks. The comment he came out with today regarding the end of the season love-in with Liverpool was ill-advised and in poor taste. He should not be surprised by the reaction.

Another example is probably El-Hadj Douif . But Rodriguez has been class at club level for a few years too. Just seeing what he can do at the world stage now, as well as everyone else unfortunately.

Not exactly realistic.

Couple of weeks, 21st' July. billy sharp @billysharp10 · 55m Enjoyable 1st day back at training with Southampton,new training ground is class and nice to meet the new staff too

TBF, we need him at this moment in time.

I think Rodriguez has been bloody good again for the Swiss. We could do a hell of a lot worse than to replace Shaw with him.

Looks like this one will be done and dusted within the next 24 hrs I reckon.

We know our stuff MLG.

Jordan Turnbull I think. Academy CB.

Facts? other than the stuff that came from his own mouth, you mean?

They won it 5 times, you know.

Or, ''NITK' as some would say.

That's Rocket Swanie, who also said we were in for Alex Wistel. (which will also turn out false)

From what I can muster, the delay was with us not being happy with the deal. It might sound a lot, but Bournemouth will get around 6.5m of that, and I can guarantee that another £3-5m or so will be based on non-guaranteed add-ons. So potentially, we may only net 14m from this. The stories were always that we wanted to ensure we made a net of £20m on any deal - so clubs would need to be bidding upwards of £30m for him. It seems as if the club have stuck their feet in the ground hoping for more, Liverpool clearly weren't going to pay more, Lallana really wanted the move so threw everything out of the pram and effectivley went on strike - which kind of forced the club to accept the best of a bad bunch of Liverpool offers. That's my take on it.

I believe his head has become to big for even Suarez.

I reckon we're probably only going to net around £14-15m from this. 6.2m ish to Bournemouth, and probably about £5m in performance related add-ons.
