I hope we keep him. One of the few players this season who've put in a proper shift when they've played. He always creates dangerous openings, if he could improve his finishing he'd be deadly.
His offensive stats at Arsenal are surprisingly ****. I feel he could up that at Liverpool. Not keen though, but wouldn't be too bad I guess. Just don't see him replacing anyone in our 11. But with Europe next season we do need options, so it might be a worth while signing.
He was mom against boro last night imo. Didn't stop working all night, always a danger. He needs to improve his final ball at times, but still a dangerous attacking player that will always keep fullbacks on the back foot.
I reckon Ox will be a good signing for you. Talented and easy to forget he's still quite young. Arsenal is a graveyard for young English talent anyway, plus reckon he'll suit Klopps style of play. No doubt you'll overpay, you always do ... but you overpaid for Lallana at the time and that's worked out alright. You really need a proper cm and cb before this sort of signing though. No chance of Virgil though
Most of our Saints buys have worked out, in the end! Lallana, quality for us. Clyne, steady RB. Lovren has his moments but he's decent. Mane, fantastic. Lambert, ****. Virgil will go this summer, too many teams are after a CB for him to stay at Southampton imo. I don't see why he wouldn't come to us if we can offer CL. Klopp has 200mil to spend this window (so it's been reported!), so I expect some big changes. He made money overall on transfers since he's been here, so hasn't has a chance to pump any real money in, yet.
I am confident that you will find that Poch, Levy and the lads in the squad will not be content with simply "finishing 4th every year," as your lot were. I can already see that our club has ambition. This is the second successive season that we have been the only viable challenger for the title. That ought to tell you something.
£200? From you owners? Believe that when I see it How much of that is coming from sale of Coutinho? I agree Virgil will leave this Summer. Just don't think it will be to you. Just can not see your board spending £45m+ on a cb... City or Chelsea for me.
Why for my sake? I've always said the best team over 38 games will win it. I said it with Leicester who finished 10 points clear of Arsenal last year. Disregarding the obvious bitters no team flukes a premiership.
When I was in my 20's , people said I looked like Robert Redford , when I reached 50 people said I looked like Relic from "The Beachcombers " , when I didn't need a comb ... now at 65 I feel like an authentic relic
