Sadly, all too true what you have written... still made me smile though, l was reminded by Monty Python and the Life of Brian.
There is that, but we could offer Dortmund more for him and could offer Delaney bigger wages, and that's the most important thing for most footballers. There's also the appeal of playing in the PL. I would hope at the very least we have made an effort to sign him.
There must be something in it though. Delaney was allegedly being looked at by a few PL teams and 4m is **** all for one of them. Even if Saints hadn’t made a move one of the others probably would have and he has chosen Sevilla. Maybe he doesn’t want to play in England
Delaney was on a 100K p/w at Dortmund. The low transfer, much like a free, probably means Sevillie could offer close to that. Plus CL, weather etc
Reports (possibly nonsense, of course) that we're in for Caleta-Car, Croatian international CB plays for Marseilles.
There are so many puns i can get out of that name, that I'm not even going to try. I'll wait until he signs. Even if he doesn't we'll always leave the door open for him.
