    Transfermarket would have us believe that Mane cost us £20m!!! Did we end up paying massive add ons when we sold him on top of what we paid originally?

    Oh and I would also add that looking at the injury record of any Arsenal player would rule them out. I think on the right terms £70k a week and on FLTs? breakdown of add ons it would be a no brainer. He can finish twice as well as Long can play up front or wide like JayRod. Would work very well with a poacher like Gabbiadini or Austin.

    He was £30m on Friday according to the sun, so negotiations are going well

    Can we just purchase a good Pelle/Lambert replacement please? Most of our problems would disappear.
    To put it a way that I'm currently interested in: we've got the infrastructure, we just need to buy the fuel.

    Well, one thing at a time, I think. His situation might become better if he had the tools at his disposal.

    If Saints are as ambitious as they say they are then 30 mil should be about the standard of player they should be looking at. Personally I cannot see Les ever going for that grade of player. He is making the same mistakes he made at Charlton for which he was eventually sacked.

    He was director of football....... my understanding was he was responsible for player recruitment. Although there was doubt as to whether this included manager recruitment. That’s according to my Charlton buddies anyway.

    I thought he was assistant manager and then briefly, manager.

    Hmm, good point. I must admit that the current situation has affected my judgement to a certain extent, simply because we appear to have slid from our lofty ambitions and the upward momentum has disappeared.

    Let's look at it another way. What would Nicola Cortese have done by now.? I think we have our answer. :)

    Yeah, I thought he was ridiculed from how bad he did in the hot seat, not the upstairs seat.

    Based on his performance today, I’d say his head is already here

    True but for £30m I'd rather have Dembele
