I’ve no regrets about posting that
Our record with transfer records is appalling, I can’t ever recall a decent one, but there must be in the distant past somewhere
Can anyone recall one?
Actually it may be Sadio, don’t know if he was a record at the time
I think it depends on whether you base it solely on the agreed fee, or if you include any subsequent add-ons and sell-on fees etc.
For example, a number of sources quote Tino as our current record signing - but I believe that's because they include the sell-on which we paid to Chelsea (out of the fee we received from Newcastle). Technically that is a part of the transfer agreement we reached with Chelsea (albeit the amount was unknown at the time), but I doubt any Saints fan considers Tino to be our record signing.
At the time we purchased Mane, I think the fee was less than what we paid for Gaston (but I might be mis-remembering). But if you include all monies paid to Salzburg, then the only purchases which beat it have all been made since we signed him.
I thought I met him last night at Musical Statues club.
But it was just his friend, Still Will

Would you prefer your coat, a taxi, or a table for one?
So back to the when did we ever make a successful record signing question
Anyone?
EDIT: Rory Delap was our record for quite a while
If based on initial fee alone, then I would suggest Ings. I think he counts because, from memory, the initial fee for him was slightly more than for Carrillo (something like £20m vs £19m).
Danny Ings for £20m was our record signing for a bit. That one worked out well
I struggle to be positive about Ings, he was supposedly back in his spiritual home and he dumped us
I felt particularly let down because he was from my village
Anyone that wasn’t tainted in some way?

On the topic of French bread, a boulangerie patisserie has opened on my urbanisation this very morning, right next to my watering hole, on my walks.
I will certainly be taking a look in there during the week.
Saints last post on Facebook said all is STILL and calm at St Mary's
Apparently you need to kill french vampires by hammering a baguette through their heart.
Painstaking work
