I've mentioned on here previously that I liked the look at Patterson at Sunderland last season. Is he good enough for the PL? I don't know. If there's the opportunity to get a more known quantity, I would prefer that. But otherwise we could do a lot worse than Patterson.
£20m and Rodon for Alcaraz would be very good business. Stick a sell on in there too in case he does improve.
Yeah, given our issues were more of a defensive nature last season, then a new CB and possibly the Sunderland (or another) GK too for Charly would be ok with me, because I feel he will move on anyway this Summer.
If Terry Paine wants another season let’s give him a contract v Redmond! That’s the likelihood of this rumour happening.
I know it’s not Saints rumour related, but if it’s weird that Liverpool are getting these odd fees… have a look at the ridiculous rule avoiding fees between Chelsea, Villa and Everton for their bit-part/academy players… utter madness and the EPL need to throw the book at them all….!!
Some of the players moving are very highly regarded I believe. Iroegbunam is for sure, and Kellyman. Not so sure about Lewis Dobbin Chelsea have some history with Villa when they bought Chukwuemeka for a large fee
It’s mental…. If they get away with, EPL rightly will have questions asked…(as they should about Chelsea selling their hotel..!!)
But Kellyman for £20 million with only 150 minutes of professional football under his belt… smells fishy at best… especially when all the clubs involved are the ones at risk of falling foul of the rules….
Just read the translated article, reckons Saints and AZ have been speaking for a little while over the fee. AZ have already brought in a replacement and Sagawara only has one year left on his contract before he becomes a free agent
