Don't know that we're missing out...perhaps we just weren't interested.

I see Cabaye as a West Ham sort of signing myself, he'll not want to take a pay-cut.

That's still quite a paltry amount though, 13 million £ or so....we'll probably have to go to much nearer 20 if we're serious.

Well I can't see who else might have done...I mean Arsenal...certainly not, the player...probably not, who else does that leave unless it's an abused former agent.

What on earth would Chelsea want with Charlie Austin ? They've got Costa and Remy are are running after Falcao, exactly why they're doing that I just couldn't say though, so Austin...well forget it. It's agent bolloax to try to screw a couple more quid out of some poor team.

Nowhere near as good on the defensive tasks really, Cabaye is a bit of an in-between player who's fading fast. He's a bit of a fragile flower as well.

Ah I don't know about that, I've seen figures showing that their wage bill was about 24 million £ higher than ours for the 2013/14 season. That would suggest to me that virtually every player that they have gets more than his equivalent at Saints.

At the end of the day with Morgan it may well come down to who we're prepared to accept in part exchange from Utd. They still want him but are thinking over the fee.......apparently.

Doubt if he wants to take a pay cut though.

One thing's for sure with a green away kit you're never going to need a third kit.....red,blue,yellow,white,black..plenty of that about but green solves all of the eventual problems. It's not bad...different though.

Let's just say that you see it far more often outside of UK football, it is not an English notion and UK football does not produce them..

I think just adding not before leading would about sum it up. We don't pay enough and we won't pay enough to QPR.

Sometimes....dual national me. Certainly don't live in England, haven't done for over 30 years.

Do the English really understand the Number 10 role ? Think Zidane,Platini,Baggio,Cantona, Hoddle at a push. Players of exceptional talent and vision who dictate the way games are played, it's not speedy wide men who like to drift inside, there you're thinking 9 and a half..

Clasie and Cedric = 20 million at the very most, Gueye about 5 or 6, Song about the same, in the elevated world of the upper regions of the PL these are bargain basement prices.

Did Poch lose the plot or was he told to "maximise value" on the Academy products? We always seem to be unclear on that, now the other week Reed was saying, Yep Academy lads are going to take up all the slack from the Europa League games and yet we seem to be running after quite a lot of bargain basement players just now (well the press think we are anyway). Cedric,Juanmi, Clasie, Gueye etc...where do they fit into the schema of things if we don't actually sell anyone?

In fact I think we do want to sell him...we just say we don't. Or perhaps Reed doesn't particularly want to sell him but Koeman does, there seem have been mixed messages from some of their soundbites.

Who knows, we might have shopped them over it, wait and see time. That would be quite amusing, taking 16 million off of them for a dud and then shopping them for the way in which they did it...Machiavelli get out of here.

They should be charged with being seriously doolallytat and interned for a few years. 16 million for Chambers ? Do you think we hypnotise scouts who come to St Mary's and show them films of Messi with a (name player) mask or something. Anyway it's probably just a minor unlicensed agent thingy.

Hindsight be arsed, I said last summer that Shaw wasn't worth the fee being asked for him, in fact I said no-one would pay it, Utd just got rolled over on him. Shaw can't defend correctly and can't seem to do anything useful with the ball when he gets forward. Perhaps he's just not too intelligent.

Evidently not, but if we can get as good for half of the price he's obviously overpriced. Although money is awash in the PL nowadays clubs are starting to think twice about silly transfers and to rate a 25 million £ fee you need to have something that Morgan doesn't have... European level Club Experience. We sold too many busts last season to get away with it again...unfortunately for the player. If we're not prepared to drop our fee by at least 5 million I think he might still be here next season and that may well affect him adversely. We rate an Europa League winner at 9 million and yet we're asking 25 for a player who's never even had a sniff of European football.

It certainly didn't but Shaw was never worth the price Utd paid for him, he had nothing about him to warrant such a fee except a lot of press hype. Bertrand was always the far better player and Utd should have bought him and not sick note Shaw. Perhaps that's Morgan's case as well..overated and overpriced.

To be fair Milner and Ings are excellent signings who just happened to be available at the end of their contracts. Trouble is you can only get that sort of players for free (or significantly less because it's a tribunal that decides) if you are prepared to pay the type of salary that few clubs can.

So you think in fact that we can get a player of equal quality for half of the price. No wonder no side is falling over itself to meet our valuation then when there's as good for half of it available.

Why?
