thabucks Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just now, useless said: The random links are often the ones that turn out to have some truth to them. I've been wanting us to sign Leoa for a while now, but didn't think it would be a possibility because of Lille being in the champions league. Money talks ?! Doubt it will happen but it beats dragging up players who never made it or Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Leao appears a little unrealistic to me too. Brais Mendez on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pez1974 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Danny Ings has moved to Southampton for £20m. Nearly 27 so no resale value, and there's a treatment table somewhere with his arse print permanently dented into it. Only managed 23 games last season for Southampton, and scored 7 times. Once scored 21 in the Championship, and 11 in a PL season. **** games gone mad. (Bristol and Leeds would want £80m as he once got on the pitch for England for 30 minutes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Weird one but was thinking about it earlier. About a month ago our record transfer was 18mil for Bent. We have broken it for Wesley. How many more times do you think we will break 18m this summer? I think 4 more times. Mings, Webster, Phillips and some winger I've not heard of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton should just be glad it isn't £40m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF after that we had the money tap turned off, almost went out of business and have been in the championship for 3 years, with severe FFP issues. Not entirely surprising to be breaking it a few times 8 years on when we finally have cash again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Why is Leao the yam yam Lion unrealistic? He's not the French Mbappe. We can afford him. Villa / PL are a big step up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
