Its their business model mate, they need to sell to keep the wheel turning theyve had:
Bale, Mane, Ward Prowse, Lovern, Lallana, Livramento as well - they get top dollar, because they have to.
I remember part of a City documentary years ago with somebody on a phone saying “Southampton want how much ?, Naw we’re not paying that “ …..and then the RS paid the £75mill for St Virgil.
Happy with this, hes always been a lovely footballer, a deep lying play maker who can transition play, take set pieces, break a line, create and spread the play.
There is a lot to like about this deal. Stylistically think Ward Prowse, hel play...
….its often the player who forces the move in this stalemate scenario. Neither team will budge, the player forces his parent club by insisting he wants to leave, if of course he’s keen on joining us.
