    It is not just that, it is the fact we have finished above them for the first time ever and Sadio, you are so much better than that my man (e). Stay one more season and then see 1. Have we qualified for Chamions League, or 2. Can you get a really big team (Barca, Real, Bayern, Chelsea, United, City) - I wouldn't begrudge him those, but Liverpool .... second rate outfit now <laugh>

    I'd go down to 15 mill if we got those two.

    So we shouldn't sell to Liverpool (long lasting offence caused by Brendan) or Spurs (long lasting offence caused by Poch) or West Ham (long lasting offence caused by Allardyce) or most of the rest because they aren't a step up from us (so, you've guessed it, we would be offended) or Man U (because Mourinho might offend us). That leaves City and Arsenal and Leicester (no, not them...bastards beat us to it).

    I don't understand why you would join a team who's not guranteed European football for atleast a season or maybe longer. I for one wouldn't put money on Liverpool finishing In the top 6 next season and feel overally confident of getting a return.

    It's easy. Bigger club and more money.

    Lets face it most of the top teams won't blink at putting a 1 in front of his existing Saints weekly wage even after we have offered him a contract extension. Don't believe all this rubbish about winning things, wanting to play Champions League, its mostly rubbish, it's down to how much can I earn....simples

    Here's an idea...let's raid Celtic and buy all the best players form Brendan. :D Just because we can, and to see the look on his face.

    No you don't have a bad memory. In fact it's pretty damn good. But, like I continue to say these days about transfer rumours, it is all BS until it actually happens. Even so, I wasn't confident in the slightest, back then, that we'd keep those players, which is the essential difference of what we're talking about. In all honesty, I don't think anyone predicted such an exodus, either. Even the wrist slitters.
    Since those events, I think the future has been with my position on things. Nothing is ever as bad as the media wants to paint it. Certainly under this management.

    We did that joke about a millisecond after his new position was announced. However, a good joke is always worth retelling. ;)

    Another player using yoh guys as a stepping stone to get the move to our great team eh <whistle>

    I can't see us going for him properly. You guys will want upwards of £30m and I'm sure klopp will have other targets abroad, he's not like Brendan who just buys players from the prem after a decent season or two!

    I'll take that challenge: when we received Le Saux as a makeweight in Bridge's £7mil move to Chelsea.

    Mane (as good a player as he is) strikes me as a bit of a sulking mercenary

    2 years left on his current deal, so he either signs a new one or you cash in now whilst you'll still get top dollar for him.

    I think Liverpool will have trouble attracting the really big players at the moment. No European football of any kind and rarely qualify for the Champions League. A big club with history who can pay loads of money, yes, but if the player wants more than that then Liverpool at the moment is not the place to go. I think unless Mane is driven by money he would be better off waiting for a better offer, that's if Saints are willing to sell this summer, which we do not know. As has been said many times we don't need to sell if we don't want to, we don't need the money.

    Mane's not been particularly consistent either. He was dropped at one point this season. I'd prefer him to stay but if we lose him for big money I won't be quite as concerned as other people seem to be.

    Otherwise known as "Klopp's flops"

    Seriously, is there any other club that takes decent players and turns them into donkeys?
