He really needs to go back to the continent imo as the eveidence suggests he isn't going to cut it in the PL . The Saints fans on this forum seem generally to rate his performance there as "dogshit" bit with the occasional goal .
 
I could certainly see interest from abroad. If he's not able to break through here, it might be better for his career to move on. I would think that he'll get at least the summer to prove himself though.

I suspect you're right but still, not as simple as should we keep our sell him
 
He is the kind or risk some clubs are willing to take.

7.5mil fee, small wage, already prob took in a mill or a mil and a half on his loan.

10mil sale fee? Easy.

Same for shaqiri. Easy stuff can really go wrong on him either.

The question has to be whether having this sort of player improves our team or really just out bank balance
 
Anyone see that story that Barca want to hand Coutinho back to us to avoid paying the rest of his transfer fee?

We'd get him for nothing, bar the lack of money they owe us (still) for him.

I wonder how much they still owe?

I've seen it. Rumours are they still owe us 50m though; don't know if that's pound or euros. Either way, I'd rather have the money

We sold the Barca debt to a 3rd party company so it actually would cost us same amount as it would anyone else
 
Probably means something to you but i'm just sat here shaking my head :huh:

He played for Bayern on loan and scored against Barcelona in the semi final I think it was when Bayern won it last year.

We'd be paying off Barcas debt as we've already had the money then.

If it were £10-15m I'd say go for it, but £35m I'd rather let them suffer.

Pretty much. Reading it sounds like Barca have done around 19 deals in similar way where still owe money. Makes you laugh that they’re somehow in 1b debt but still passing ffp, still signing players on what I’d imagine will be decent wages and signing on fee in agusto, Garcia abs rumoured to be Gini and depay <doh>,
