Dont see being case as saints saying want upward of 60m now. Maybe VVD has had a word saying only wants to go to us so bidding war doesn't start.

Lots of assumptions being made.

The fact is come mid July and even august the player will be sitting in Southampton pre-season while clubs try to convince Southampton to sell.
 
So you don't mind if we talk about Downing, Markovic and Benteke? <whistle>

Downing was only 20.
Markovic may still come good! For someone... somewhere... far far in the future!
and we got our money back on Tekkers <whistle>

Hows N'koudou and Janson getting on? :bandit:
 
revenue is irrelevant only thing that matters is the bottom line & our last 3 sets of accounts show approx £20m profit before tax so hardly built up a warchest.

You say that, but revenue allows you to borrow more money at Lowe rate and most companies have a bit of debt to allow business to grow so although yes profit is important, football is different to most business as owners only really make money when selling the club rather than year to year profit.
 
You think he's no pace... behave.

Seen him v mane and firmino..absolutely destroyed them both.

Compared to Lovren he's a rolls Royce.

<yikes>

Maybe he just goes to ****e every time they play us then. I mean, I saw him getting skinned by Kane on multiple occasions. Kane. You know, the guy with no weak points other than pace?

tell that to ENIC or the Glazers

oh and ask Leeds or Portsmouth (& nearly ourselves) about the result of the lack of fiscal responsibility in football.

Good way to describe him. He is a Rolls Royce of a defender. He doesn't look quick because he runs in a chilled out manner (like how he plays). I've only ever seen him lose one header, and we all marked it down in the Saints annuls at the time.
 
We won't get VvD. When push come to shove, we'll f*ck it up by penny pinching. We'd better get used to Lovren at CB.

Salah will stitch us up at the last minute too.

Reckon we might be good for that young LB from hull...

Way, way off the mark. He's superb. We've watched both him and Alderweireld, and VVD is better (marginally, but he is).

See I wouldn't go that far just yet.

For me Toby is the best in the league quite comfortably.

Reckon Virgil can overtake him though.

He is deceptively quick, something you don't really notice on the tv.
 
It makes a great change to see Klopp using our CL spot to actually attract quality players.

Admittedly under different circumstances but Rodgers could never have pulled off the level of players we're now managing to attract.

VVD is a huge coup if we sign him as he would have actually turned down Chelsea and City to join us.

Increasing revenues, new stand, CL, Klopp, new brand of football, transfers now taking off - the future looks decent.

TBF you haven't attracted anybody yet and you are linked with good players every year.
Salah looks quite promising though if you meet the asking price.
