Dr.Spaceman Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 1 hour ago, Toon88 said: Think our initial thinking is that we could exploit them because of the relegation. Seems like home work wasn’t done on the sell on clause either. Going from £12m/£21m/£30m looks a poor negotiation to me. Looks sloppy, and now we look desperate, and they want to bend us over on the fee. I’d walk away and look at European targets. Better value, and no ? over a previous injury. You could be entirely incorrect, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflap Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Will hinge on how much he wants the move and whether he'll force the issue, can understand Southampton not been keen to sell, he wouldn't be a high earner, will be one of the best players in the championship and will likely be worth more this time next year if injury concerns are put to bed.

ponsaelius Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Just now, JonBez comesock said: He’s only on £7k a week Yup, which is why they'd rather flog KWP than him if they can. It's also worth considering one of the reasons a high fee isn't such a big deal for us if we get him in on 40-50k a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 He hasn't even played 30 minutes since returning from an ACL so anything more than 35m is laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 They could also have rejected it because of the structures of the deal. The fact talks are ongoing means they're probably not far off a compromise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagMal Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Personally I don't really care if he is wrong, a bit of itk is fun and breaks up the boredom of the summer, if you believe them or hang on their every world then you have an issue, calling them out for been wrong is as bad as pretending you have contacts in the club, just enjoy the fact that we are actually buying decent players for once.

madras Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Could be wrong while being right as well. The club may have thought the deal was close only to realise any deal was a bit more distant and legit info was being passed on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 If Soton are hating the value, rather than instalments, please move on. He'll likely be a good player but we have more urgent matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottoman Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Now this was what I was talking of and I got almost crucified here. For me he doesn't even worth those £30m talk less of more than that. What are those insane price for? He didn't do anything incredible at top level, only had a season under his belt (performance not that awesome either), has 3years left contract and coming from acl injury, hence there is that risk never being the same player again as history has shown us. One could argue about his talent and potential but his not an A list talent. Use the price of other young players signed to a first team and you'll see he isn't worth it.

Ottoman Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Meanwhile we could sign a proven performer in jeremie frimpong for a fee slightly above that esp now that there isn't any competition on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
