Should in theory still have in the region of £30m free to spend if we have Ings and Vestergaards fees available, unless there is someone else we want to sign on top of that (CM and GK would be helpful - but I’d settle for a stonking CB). But then I remember this is Saints.
Liverpool were told that was the fee back in Jan. Since then he has had a bit of a strop and his performances have supposedly reflected this. Might be that Marseille just want him off their hands now, and will take less. Also, having a strop because he couldn’t go to Liverpool, that’s our kind of player.
I like that one. Again it’s betting on potential but he was a captain at youth level for England so Crocker will have a whole book about him. Same as all our other signings this summer! I think those England youth stars who didn’t quite make the breakthrough for their clubs are our new target market. It’s not going to be boring, that’s for sure!
