Che Adams £11.2m

[Tom Bott]

McCabe gambled on Colin’s abilities to do it last time on a shoe string.

Fulham gambled £ 100 million + to do it.

Which is better ?

 

[Akinbiyi]

How could Che Adams ever be considered a marquee signing? he's a decent Championship striker, not worth any more wages than the rest of our squad of good Championship players.

He’s a bit better than decent

This actually wasnt the case, think it was in Warnocks book or something but Warnock had quite a bit of cash available to him in January but didnt spend it, for whatever reason.

 

[MobileBlade]

We can't sign anyone until the court case is settled and even then we wont be spending anything like 11 million, we would be best of buying decent championship players like Norwich have started as its very unlikely we will be in the prem in 12 months time and it would give us best chance of going back up.

Why can't we?

 

[him behind you]

Why can't we?

Because that's what they are telling themselves over on Porktalk.

Thougjt it was because of an embargo.......

 

[Sheffsteel]

Thank god we sold Adams , brooks , maguire ,DCL ,Kyle Walker for a combined worth of 20 million surely they can’t be worth much now they were great deals at the time

Brooks 50/60 Million
Maguire 80 Million
Kyle Walker 50 Million
Adams 15 Million
DCL 10 ?

But it they had all stayed we’d more then likely still be in league 1 or even league 2 or maybe in administration.
There was only Maguire who was clearly our best player, Adams had hit some poor form and the others struggled to even get into our first team.
It’s like saying.
If we’d have bought Maradona instead of Sabella, we’d have won the European Cup back in the early 80’s, too many variables, it’s all if, buts and maybes.

Remember that very hot prospect goalie (Aaron Ramsdale) we used to have that everyone raved about as the next England goalie.
We sold him “on the cheap” to Bournmouth, it was classed as madness at the time because this goalie was “our future”.
But where is this goalie now? Remember many saying how George Long looked a fantastic prospect who we should never sell.

What about that star striker Diego Di Geralamo.
Many said he was the future, Juventus wanted him, and we didn’t offer him a massive contract.
It was classed as madness because “.everyone knew he was destined for the PL”. Where is he now?

If we had bought Maradona, we might have won the 1986 World Cup, no way would he have developed into the player he became, if our coaches had got their hands on him in 1978.

 

[Pinchy]

If I was, I'd be worried.

Sit down next to me...

 

[Pinchy]

Put me right in mood for a pork sarnie.... is Beres open?

The Championship is. Dem glamour fixtures...

 

[I should coco]

Sven could have tried him on the left though......

WE all know before he'd really done anything for us we'd have sold him to Leeds.

 

[Gavlar]

we will spend it on lawyers

that too.

Don't think that kind of talent can be stifled.
Appeh Arry Aslam liked good football.

 

[Blade56]

We will keep our age old tradition and continue to spend it on lawyers

Fixed it

 

[Edinblade]

Teams we can finish above and probably will:
Bournemouth
Burnley
Norwich
Crystal Palace
Southampton
Brighton
Watford
Newcastle.

We may even finish higher, but that’s the season after next

 

[KeyffSmyff]

What about this lad?

 

[8lade]

We may even finish higher

I'm waiting to see if Chelsea appoint FL...

Oh perlease, that would be hysterical - book is running on which week the pundits move from “Fwank is a true blue etc. to, “well Gary, the pressure is building now”........,

Pubs must open and work must finish early in Edinburgh ! What you drinking ?

 

[CornwallBlade]

I'll probably have to canvas opinions, but I think he'd have to pitch up with a better attitude.

Don't forget that there is an awning chasm between the Prem and La Liga.





I'll get mi' coat

Canvas, Pitch, Awning? You’re tent obsessed fella - I think you’re Milletts in disguise

 

[Tom Bott]

At the beginning of last season you thought we would finish above Leeds, Birmingham,Aston Villa,Stoke,Swansea,Derby,Nottingham Forest ?

Maybe we were just lucky.

Good point well made - now then , can we finish second in the Prem if we make the right signings ?

On the £38m budget ? ( formerly known as the £20m budget)

[Tom Bott]

Nah like Brexit we are all better informed now, the £ 20 million pound budget was a lie.

I think we need a people's poll for the budget. If we don't like the outcome we can go for best of three.

 

[guancheblade]

Kerrr-ching! What a Monday this is turning out to be!

Anyone know what Southampton's previous record transfer purchase was?

[bromtom]

Should pay for Freeman

 

[robbiez666]

Given his current rate of improvement he may end up being capped.

 

[8lade]

Anyone know what Southampton's previous record transfer purchase was?

there have been a few around the 18/19 million mark.
