The club should instill a blanket policy of no sales to Liverpool, ever, for any amount of money. I'm sure Mane will be off, but anywhere but Liverpool as far as I'm concerned.

Unfortunately for us, Liverpool being nowhere in Europe means they can't get near their first choice targets, and their Plan B will always involve our players, and our players will always be interested, for monetary and CV reasons. I saw this (a Liverpool bid) coming months ago, as am sure loads of Saints fans did, as he consistently saves his best form for the traditional big clubs. He is particularly devastating against Liverpool. Even when they beat us 6-1, he was our sole bastion of hope. On our side is obviously the fact that if we want to keep Koeman, we'll have to make him some assurances.
 
No way with two years left on his contract will Saints sell at a loss; and no way Spurs will pay over £12m for a 29-year old reserve striker (their reserve, not ours). Saints paid the fee that will likely be Shane Long's career peak fee.

If I was our board I would keep hold of Sadio at any cost this summer even at the risk of him leaving for a lot less next year. He could be the difference between CL football or not with all the riches that it would bring....plus if we can finish top four then maybe it would be a big incentive for him to stay.
 
Being offered a new deal as well.

Wouldn't surprise me if they all are. I mean, they can't exactly hide the fact that there is some new mega money sloshing around.

Long: Here Gareth, how about some of that new TV money.?
Rogers: We didn't get any. It's the PL's new way of making sure we don't barge in on the big clubs. Leicester are actually having money taken away.
Long: So, do you still have Mauricio's phone number.?
