Romulo has stated in the press part of the reason he joined Göztepe was the Southampton connection and route to the Premier League.That is a benefit of the model. Things change after relegation. 

Had we stayed in the Premier League we would have been on a better position to sign him. But it is delusional to think a player would turn down a move to RB Leipzig to join us in the Championship. 

You can't say something that might have happened if we hadn't got relegated is a benefit to us 🤣 

Where in the press did he state that, out of interest? Be interested to see his exact wording, and what was asked. I do agree with you, however, that its unrealistic to think we can just click our fingers and he'd come here over RB Leipzig just because he's part of the ownership group.

Bullshit! Did you not bother reading it? The first paragraph gives a benefit of the model. Which you asked for!

i.e players being attracted to moves to our sister clubs because they see it as a pathway to the Premier League. Romulo stated that the Saints connection influenced his move to Göztepe. 

I then explained how relegation made a move to us less likely  especially when as a Championship club we aren't going to be more attractive than a move to RB Leipzig. That doesn't mean there isn't a benefit, players will still see the potential pathway to us. But if a better option like RB Leipzig is on offer it is less likely to happen.

So there were no benefits to it then.

Let's rewind a bit then, why didn't we pick him up before Goztepe did? We could have loaned him to Goztepe and then had him back as our player. We did the same with Matsuki and Juan, who ended up going there anyway.

Why are Goztepe having better results with scouting, when we should have been the 'flagship' club of their model? Romulo was grabbed from the Brazilian leagues during the same time we were shopping around for Juan and Wellington - irrelevant positions for us in the grand scheme of things.

The relationship doesn't help us. We help them. We got a smaller fee for Charly so Gotzepe could get a Brazilian on loan as part of the deal, again - doesn't benefit us.

Yep, the relationship is parasitical, not reciprocal. 
 

They are using saints as a cash cow to fund the rest of their tinpot clubs.

There’s a very prominent poster here who thinks he’s of a superior intellect to most others here, who clearly has been.

what what what? you got Joachim Kayi Sanda on the cheap for 5M Euros! "Best center back in the world" dixit Ben Chorley, former sporting director at Valenciennes FC and now back to the UK as Head of Recruitment for Sport Republic.

If there is one club being taken advantage of, it's us ! You'll make your money back tenfold while we will be collecting pennies!

Not sure if your post was serious or not, but feel free to message and remind me of it when we sell Sanda for £50m.
