BY ALEX CROOK Hasenhuttl keen on Augustin reunion Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is ready to kick-off his summer shake-up with a reunion with RB Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin. Ex-Paris St Germain star Augustin, 21, enjoyed the most prolific spell of his career playing under Hasenhuttl last season. The French under-21 international has been told he can leave Germany this summer and Hasenhuttl is keen to bring him to St Mary’s. Hasenhuttl has been promised a transfer war-chest after keeping Southampton in the Premier League with two games to spare. The Austrian, who plans to offload Charlie Austin, said: “It is important we make the right decisions in the summer, maybe a few players will be leaving us and a few new ones coming in.”
We are more a war wallet kind of team. But it is how you spend it....some teams lash out and still don't improve.
Not sure any of those fitting the profile Ralph descibed in his interview the other day. Young, on their first or second contract... ...3rd at tops
I can't say I'm going to raise my expectations too much. Saints idea of backing the manager is probably giving him an extra fiver.
If ten bobs is similar to 10 Charlie Austins then that's far more than I was expecting us to be spending.
In January the quoted fee (from memory) for Augustin was somewhere around £30-40m wasn't it? Have we finally got with the times and what we need to be spending now to be competing with the "best of the rest"
