    We got paid massively over the odds for VVD, so what if we have to pay a little extra for a quality player that will improve us?.

    I quite agree. I don't think anyone is advocating panic buying, but we absolutely need to strengthen the first team - not the squad.

    Anyone know when the Russian window closes? Bit of a race this one considering Spartak have a friendly tomorrow too...

    22nd of February for Russia, so they have a few weeks to find a replacement.

    Imo buying Promes at £30m will improve us more than buying two players at £20m that are only the same or slightly better than what we have. I can't think of anything better to spend the money on than Promes.

    I think we may be using the “Alderweireld gambit”, that worked so well in bringing Toby to SMS,on a permanent deal.

    I have more confidence in my missus cooking my steak right for dinner tonight, than I do in Saints getting this deal over the line <laugh>

    Southampton have had a £25m bid for Spartak Moscow’s Dutch international Quincy Promes rejected.

    It is understood the Russians want £30m for the winger.

    What are we playing at? (if true)

    It's quite fortunate with our fans that many decisions are no brainers.<laugh>

    Funny, I was just typing out the same thing. If we're hoping to win an argument over the technicalities of the contract of a player in Russia, we're going to be sorely disappointed.

    As it happens, doing business in Russia is almost certainly not going to be straightforward.

    It's mad how players like Promes are now 30m, in todays market Aguero would be 100m at least

    Particularly if he fancies the move as is being reported.
