Too much fun and beers at the pilton pop festival, sorry

He could be a good signing for Saints. Could be used as cover for CB and Midfield

That would be amazing, but I assume if he is running his contract down that bigger clubs than us will be in for him

We won’t be paying his salary to someone to be backup in two positions. He is on similar to Romeu - but older. So we would be extending Romeu rather than signing him

List of players I have seen where it is rumoured that they can leave if appropriate offers come in:

- Stephens
- Valery
- Bednarek
- Redmond
- Walcott
- Djenepo

If we shifted all of those it will be a miracle and would be some great work. Would allow for this substantial rebuild that has been rumoured. I would expect at least one of those to still be in the squad at the start of the season though

All of those have something to offer. They may decide they'll get more game time elsewhere which is fair enough but they should not be written off too quickly. There is no guarantee replacements would be better.

One was available for 42m from a club that really need to sell having the highest net spend in world football over the last 3 years.

The other is being quoted for silly money. If rice was available in the 70-80m bracket then they probably would have looked at that. But he isn’t. They aren’t paying a nine figure sum for a defensive midfielder

You’ve just brought home to me how ridiculous these sums are
Got used to 100m, feels different when you realise it’s actually £100,000,000!

We’ve had a €200,000,000 player, how long before the first €1,000,000,000 player?

Wasn’t Lineker the first 1m player?

Trevor Francis was first £1m player I think?

Definitely Trevor Francis then he had the cheek to moan about transfer prices when he was a manager.

Not overly bothered about signing him tbh but that is solely down to my prejudice against super tall players

This is a recycled link. Apparently he is also wanted by Bayern. I guess with us he would know that if he plays well for 2 years we will definitely sell him to Bayern

If Bayern are truly linked then I imagine the Lewandowski situation needs to be resolved first

The only reason that we remotely have a chance of signing him is the fact that he and Ralph are both Austrian. I checked his Youtube video and he is the type of player I would love us to sign, great in the air and a good finisher with a good technique but I can't see it personally.

And unfortunately it might be the only reason a rumour even exists

Sounds like it was a good evening, then
