Curtained Wasp Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 All this cash for Southampton will knock us into the third tier, but we should have a good chance of a top 5 finish within that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 All this cash for Southampton will knock us into the third tier, but we should have a good chance of a top 5 finish within that. I'm assuming that this year's Five Year PlanTM will revolve around following the Southampton Model? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 No doubt Southampton will spend whatever cash they receive in transfer fees + more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Apparently Shaw has been offered £100,000 a week! I can smell the desperation all the way from Manchester. The kid is 18 for goodness sake. Really?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Feel for Southampton. Hope they dig their heels in and try to keep both Shaw and Lallana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Can understand Lallana wanting to move but if I was Shaw I'd stop at So'ton another year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 They'll be very well compensated. This is football. Unlike us they will also have a lot of that back to re-invest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Absolute morons, trying to push on when they've recently exceeded expectations. Could get by next season without signing anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Would Lallana make Liverpool's team? I doubt he'd be happy with being a rotation player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Can understand Lallana wanting to move but if I was Shaw I'd stop at So'ton another year. Why? Already in the England setup, going to the World Cup, have an offer both financially and footballing-wise better than what you have. It's a no-brainer. He'll start for Man Utd under a new manager with better players than he was playing with at Southampton and he'll be paid 5-10 times more than he's currently being paid. The system is broken but it doesn't mean players like Shaw should be martyrs, doing things the way die hard fans want things done. Change the system and things will happen naturally, but the forces in football right now make these moves inevitable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 s****. Liverpool are going for it aren't they. They were always going to once they made the Champions League, and even if they hadn't they probably would have still spent big. That new owner has been backing them heavily.

Taylor Swift Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Would Lallana make Liverpool's team? I doubt he'd be happy with being a rotation player He would get 40+ games. They're going to play in the CL, there'll be plenty of matches to go around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Would Lallana make Liverpool's team? I doubt he'd be happy with being a rotation player He's better than Sterling and Coutinho and more consistent. No idea though where he'd start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he'd be happy with being a rotation player He's better than Sterling and Coutinho and more consistent. No idea though where he'd start. He's probably more consistent than both but I think both of those players have a higher ceiling in terms of their performances than Lallana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Lallana is better than both. He's genuinely two-footed, scores from long range, takes good set pieces and works his ass off wherever he plays. He's good enough to start for Chelsea and City, nevermind Liverpool.

nufc4eva Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 What, you can actually offer for players before transfer window opens in hope of having settled pre-season. Well I never, it will never catch on with our clueless cunts at the helm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Lallana doesn't fix the issues that cost Liverpool the title He doesn't, but they'll need a much bigger squad next season. They were going week to week barely changing the side this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtm_92 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Southampton could sell shaw and lallana for easily 60 million plus, reinvest all the money and they could have a very good chance finishing in the top 5/6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I never, it will never catch on with our clueless cunts at the helm You can agree deals but obviously can't register the player. Main worry with doing that is injuries and a lot of clubs will want to wait until they have a replacement lined up themselves. Obviously that last bit doesn't concern Mike.
