Wickham started to play well in the Prem, Pelle hasn't played in the Prem atm. So you can't judge if Pelle would be better.

Agreed it's difficult to tell how well Pelle will do in the Prem. Same with Ings. 6 goals in 40 appearances for Wickham at Sunderland is pretty poor though and he's never been a goalscorer. I'd be concerned where the goals would come from without a recognised goalscorer up front as we've been hardly prolific from midfield (Cork, Schneiderlin, Wanyama).
 
Yeh I don't want to think of Ings feeding off Bony's hold up play and Bony smashing in goals that rip the net.

I'd love to see Bony or Lukaku join us, but I think both will go to CL clubs. I certainly think they are worth bidding for. At worst case it might mean others will have to up their price !
 
Martijn Krabbendam - of Voetbal International - on Twitter:

"#Feyenoord and #Southampton its agreement on Pellè: eight million but still haggle over some details. Nevertheless: deal in the making."
 
Voetbal International and other Dutch media sources saying Feyenoord have accepted an €8m bid.


They're saying that we offered €8m, Feyenoord asked for €12m so Saints refused to go higher and left their bid on the table.

Feyenoord have blinked first and have now accepted the offer.
 
Yep decent price. Happy with that. It gives credence to bringing in at least one if ings or redmond, possibly both.
