No, he told the French press before the WC that it would be best for him to move on but that the deal had to be right for Saints as well.
-
What like the 40 million for Shaw you mean, at the end of the day we'll take anyone's final offer.
-
But he wants to play at a higher level and will thus leave. This is why getting it right last season was so important, we were almost there, then we spoilt the ship for a ha'porth of tar by not signing a decent reserve keeper and a striker. We had to play garbage and really good players will just not tolerate that. Everything you've worked for just thrown away by garbage like Jos and Gazza. It's not acceptable to top players or top players in the making.
-
We don't have sufficient status to sign such a player..probably fortunately enough for us. If we never signed another Italian or player from Italy it would be soon enough for me.
-
Who really knows, we are very low payers for the greater part of our staff. It's why we only had a total salarial mass of about 42 million in our promotion /first PL year, including bonuses I suppose. I heard from an excellent source that MP was on less than a million euros a year all in with us. When you consider the total number of people who work for the club and do some fag packet maths it's easy enough to believe that we have "major" players on low salaries. You don't always want to believe the astronomical figures that the popular british press like to bandy about.

Lallana completes move to LFC for a fee of around £25m
Window Cleaner replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
But he should have just posted a link because this stuff is copyrighted. Not that I think Nick would mind but you never know. These articles appear on another website and no-one has the right to regurgitate them here (or anywhere else) without permission. It's not my problem but it could be for the owners of the site. Perhaps the admin need to put out a little reminder about copyright and libel again. -

And did ou ask Nick if you could reproduce his article here, No? thought not. -
Names didn't mean much to me, Cresswell and Robertson was it? There will be further departures, count on it...2 in number at least, perhaps more. Some we won't worry about, some we won't like at all.
-
Just means they can ask for more money, didn't AOC do that with us? He could have left for just tribunal compensation but he signed a contract and let us rook the Arse for him.
-
English bloke from Ipswich and a young scot from Dundee have been mentioned I think. Other than that no real news. Same on the CB front it would seem. Still perhaps Koeman thinks Jos is the best thing since sliced bread because he's no doubt fixed him up with a phone and a set of wheels.
-
because at some time in the past he's been part of an England set-up I expect. Might be a great coach, who knows, certainly not me.
-
Image 12, those darker patches on the back of the shorts make it look as if they've all crapped themselves. Perhaps Koeman has told them that they'll all be starting against Liverpool.
-
You obviously thought wrongly then. They have a year left on their contracts.
-
That would be the first one t'were I ever to place a bet. Mugs game.
-
It's all about the numbers, since last January in excess of 60 million in and not a penny out. Anyone who believes that we'll spend anywhere near what we receive is living in cloud cuckoo land.
-
if you say so, I think many are in for a rude shock though.
-
the Southampton way came and went with Pochettino really. Don't imagine for one second that the Koeman system will even be remotely similar.
-
Why would we do that then? I doubt that we'll be buying anyone particularly well known or particulary expensive. Think we're in a less is best phase just now.
-
Wasn't he bonking your cousin/sister/neighbour on the side or something ? Never rated the man myself, directly responsible for the relegation and subsequent demise of the club in it's former incarnation.
-
But I believe you've been told wrongly before haven't you ?
-
Perhaps our "difficult financial situation" was more difficult than you'd think. If we are intending to spend all we receive and more on team strengthening as reported then we must be looking at a large number of mid to low priced layers by PL standards. Why bid 5 million when you know that the asking price is 10, I mean it's not as if Koeman wouldn't know that is it. We're trying to sell for a lot and buy for little, then again perhaps that's the way they do things at Green Bay Packers. At the end of the day come August we'll probably have a cheap team and cheap kit.

Thing is Upwey what we really know about any of these situations is diddly squat, it's all heresay from papers,taxi-drivers and leakers that the club obviously encourange to put their side of things across. If what was being leaked didn't please them then I assume they'd put a stop to it as they have in the past. We do not really know what the current situation of the club is, we know what they say but even then it's often confused and subsequent actions do not really confirm what has been said. I personally think the club is in a shambolic state,the players know that and are determined to pursue their careers with clubs where they have a chance of winning major competitions. That's just my opinion though and nothing that I've seen from the club since last October proves otherwise. -

But for this your services need to be highly desireable which isn't really the case for many. -

Frankly I'm concerned about some of the comment on this thread, the lad had an opportunity to move on upwards and he wanted to take it. The club didn't want to lose him too cheaply and made it a bit difficult so it got into a guerilla warfare situation apparently. At the end of the day the lad got his move and the club were handsomely rewarded end of story. There is no need for the vitriol,the hatred,the leaked derogatory information or anything else. -
When is the first friendly ? Couple of weeks away perhaps.
