I do know I thought it would be quick negotiations when the fee was agreed on the 21st June. Wonderfully confident and almost arrogance from Pochettino with the media over this deal. "We decide when we complete transfers" - last weeks press conference "We could of completed this transfer sooner but shows we do things on our terms" - today(quotes not exact) Delighted with this signing and offers a real alternative to the rest of the squad
Never lost faith. Did some rickrolling, and sarcasm about the Mexico trip. HAve to say as well, I'm quite satisfied with the amount of moaning this signing has generated from other fans.
Looks like it's prompted notice from some other clubs. Liverpool now have a thread titled: "Southampton Watch" - here it is: http://forums.liverpoolfc.com/threads/341755-Southampton-watch
Be very interested to know what the agents fee was. I hope it was closer to our terms, but somehow doubt it.
I love that. They may moan a little from time to time, but Liverpool do seem to have some of the most knowledgeable fans in terms of having an appreciation outside of their own club. Long may they be right (on that thread!)
An interesting read. Nice to see a a top club's supporters taking saints seriously. Have probably seen the video?
