Just gone to southampton for 8 million euros + add ons. He hasn't been a hit in any league but the dutch league really. That being said I'd absolutely take him here over having shola back. BTW: The only reason why i made this thread is for superstition reasons. I complained about them signing tadic, next day siem de jong is signing. So hopefully this works!
Not really sure what to make of Southampton Yankmag. They had a great squad, a couple of quality players away from top four in my opinion, and then they sign Osvaldo, possibly the biggest laziest heap of **** striker to ever disgrace a premier league pitch, including Mark Viduka with us and Shola Ameobi. Then Cortese left. Apparently this guy was the brains, and Poch and him skipped hand in hand around the boardroom, but when the affluent owner died, his daughter inherited the club *waits for Andy Gray to pop up*, and her disdain for football and Cortese led to talks about selling the club and Cortese walking. This left a lot of players and the manager unhappy. And then the owner's daughter found out that there were not, in fact, a long queue of Arab investors she could squeeze every last penny from lining up around the block like she imagined, which left her unhappy. So she decides she likes football all of a sudden and wants to make a go of it, but all the players and the manager want to leave. The manager leaves, most of the better players appear set to follow for big bucks, but they're bringing in some cheaper talent to make-up the short-fall. Seems familiar with our situation in some respects. I think they'll be lucky to get top half next year.
Differnce is lads we have £100m to spend and a top manager to spend it. If Pelle signs he wont be the only one. Watch this space.
We were already set to spend 40 and now have 60 more from sales. Koeman wouldn't have joined for a relegation scrap and would have known about departures. As you say we will see.
That's football fan logic, rather than actual logic. How do we know? Because everytime we lose a player for £20 million, we all expect it to be reinvested. Your current owner seems just as callous and indifferent to that type of opinion. If you spend 100 million on players, I'll suck your dogs cock.
jpf be honest we don't expect it to be reinvested,maybe a few years ago but that time is long gone and i hope for your sake they don't spend 100 mill
