apparently we are lining up a 1mill bid for him.
a guy told me he read it in the SLP
hope its true as we are not forced to take a chance buying someone that hasn't played here before and with punch we know what we are getting !
 
Apparently Blackpool are making a £500k bid too. That will delight Southampton who of course will want a bidding war. Lets just hope we can agree personal terms with him if the bid is accepted and that blackpool dont entice him with silly money. He hasn't hid his desire to return back to London so fingers crossed!
 
Never understand the way bidding wars work. Surely if a club offers another club 500k and then so does another the only bidding war would be on the players wages as the club have already accepted the 500k transfer fee.
 
would be difficult to justify buying anyone else if punch comes....the squad is beginning to look well rounded with good cover for most positions[/QUOT

it is possible to justify another striker tommylion , as the criteria was to replace the two strikers we let go,morison and harris and with lisbie a possible to go as well, we need another along side henderson
to be a threat up front. batt has been out the entire last season, henderson can be injury prone , plus marquis and mcquoid , we need another striker as they say you cant have enough in this league.
 
you think will still go for a striker mfc lion?

Would be disappointed if we didn't, I see that making the difference between challenging for playoffs or settling for mid table.

We got £2.8m for Moro so should have funds available for 1 more, would depend a lot on whether henderson was a free or £1m, anyone know which as it's a massive difference <laugh>
 
sotonsaint - He did well with us while on loan, Why did it go so wrong at saints?

although he is talented he is quite inconsistent, and can be quite lazy. not to mention he is a big ego, if you drop him or put him on the bench he will throw a hissy fit, when adkins (our manager) named him on the bench he refused to travel with the team to the game. i think that was just before we sent him out on loan to you. He couldn't handle a 17 year old taking his place in the team.

What I meant by that is if we offered 850k Southampton might hold out to see if Blackpool decide to improve their original offer. Do mind me Im talking bollox
