And how are those players progressing now?
One being linked with us. The others I don’t think have done anything, but prob best to ask saints as didn’t watch them much last year

Only interested because of the buy back option. Great way of getting a young player game time and reaping the rewards if he meets his potential and presumably paying the club that nurtures him more than they paid for him whilst they had some benefit from his talent.One being linked with us.

Khephren Thuram has agreed personal terms.
But I am not on Bayern Munich forumwith bayern Munich?
.Liverpool are weighing up whether to make an official approach for Southampton midfielder Roméo Lavia. - @_pauljoyce [HASHTAG]#LFC[/HASHTAG]
Ornstein saying we dropped interest in thuram.
Thiago has rejected offers from Saudi
Why would Saints accept £40m when City have a 20% sell on clause .they are all following in on thuram.
a lot of pundits are covering their bases on lavia like the above as the only source is form the south coast not LFC. It speaks volumes that ornstein hasn't said anything and Joyce is only willing to go as far as saying we are thinking about it
Lavia is NOT for this season. he is an option to try and get value on, if value can be had as in the end you write an 8 midfielder list right now before getting to who is out the door.
Szoboszlai
Macallister
Fabinho
Henderson

it really looks to me like our preseason day 1 team is firm up front, midfield and in goal and we really ought to start thinking about the back line as fans as the next arrival.
if we can tease Southampton with 40mil max (based on the buy back clause that's the max they get) then we should be seeing a move later on. If someone else stumps the 50 I think we are also fine to walk away and look elsewhere.
all this makes me think we are holding the foreign slot open.
NOBODY ****ING SAY MBAPPE
Rumours linking Hendo with Gerrard in Saudi Arabia.
this would be the deal of the century …

Why would Saints accept £40m when City have a 20% sell on clause .
well that's the quandary for LFC. We want to get the best value so we are pushing our luck as they were relegated and are stuck with a few high earners
The 40mil is city's buy back. We might go to 45mil if someone does come in but that is really just getting Southampton up to the buy back.
This is why I think we will play this wait and see and why people like joyce are not piling in on what Southampton sources are saying.
I think it could go to deadline day, who knows. It really depends on who wants a project players as a club who can afford a 50mil fee. He was to go to arsenal 2 weeks ago in the rumour mill but they are saying they want older player.
The thing is though; irrespective of the timing he doesn't take that foreign slot so that is open right now for that CB buy.
Jordan Henderson is being sought by Saudi Arabia
i almost hope they offer we accept and Hendo turns ir down as Jimmys rant would be epicCame here just to see if you'd commented on this![]()

Prepare to be disappointed then as I'm fairly certain the club will take money off pretty much anybody who offers itI'd be disappointed if he - and we - took their blood-stained coin.
Probably. I've long since resigned myself to the fact that the world doesn't work the way I want it to - but it doesn't mean I have to like it.Prepare to be disappointed then as I'm fairly certain the club will take money off pretty much anybody who offers it
