I’m not giving a final judgement and I have mentioned before on here that final judgement can only be made when it closes . But you can assess how it is proceeding. We know we don’t have all the appointees in place yet , so it wouldn’t be...

Yes Which suggests we either weren’t overly interested. Or just felt they weren’t what we needed.

It doesn’t get you far if you concentrate all your efforts on PL experienced players or those already performing at CL level . ( although Barry was a successful acquisition in this regard) Just feel that the transition from Thelwell to the new ...

That was when we had Doucoure though ! And Jack !! Not sure we can prosper without those giants of the modern game .

If this is the case I’d have to question the ambition of the TFG unfortunately. £20/25m signings only get you so far in the PL these days.

'If' was the word used, and as already mentioned, if it is down to a 25% sell on clause, and that clause is based on profit, then it is 'quibbling' over a few million. My numbers on a £45m purchase price £70m sales price (which would mean the...

But the 25% is only on the profit . If he isn’t a success there is no profit . If he is successful who really cares if we lose 25% of something we currently don’t have. The important thing would be that he has performed well on the pitch for us .

Really, so the club is not signing him because in the event we sell him for more than we pay for him we will then have to pay 25% of the profit we make to saints. Why exactly in this scenario would that prevent us doing the deal, it's...

Seems to me that we’ve run out of ideas. No real new links after the Dibling saga.

Would we do any different?

Yeh, I'm talking about people not understanding the sell on though, not concern over the initial fee. That's another story. I think it's conjecture that Southampton have moved the goalposts too. I think a narrative has developed that they kept...

I'm really struggling with the number of people that just don't get this. I'm sure they think if we sell him for 80m, Southampton get 20m...

Then there's no great issue. If we buy at £45m, he succeeds and we sell him for £70m, they get £6m, we get £19m. If he goes for less than £45m they get nothing.

Really just hope we manage to turn up with a team that wants to go, get on the front foot and play. We will all see the creaks in the hull of the ship and that, but she doesnt look too bad before the first game of the season, our old Everton?

Yeah, we batter them. COYB 💙💪
