It was mentioned a few pages back that one of them wasn't very good in goals so is therefore rubbish at recruitment. I kid you not.

Signings like him are what got us in the mess of previous years. I can appreciate the sudden sense we have found, I just don't want us to be too sensible

Birds of a feather flock together
They bought cheap foreigners in most cases. Hardly bought overpriced English youth for £30m do they…
Welcome to August....
So, what have we got:
1. Luiz - off to Forest??
2. Dibling - offer rejected (seems some way below the Southampton estimation) - Let's hope for a throw in of a transfer request
3. Kubo - too expensive
4. Fofana - Awaiting a CL club
5. Luis - A couple of suggestions the last few days and links last summer I understand. I would be on board with this one
6. The man who must not be named - one for the unconcerned folks
7. Hackney, Brownhill - not good enough apparently
Anyone I have missed as an August 1st summary?
Appreciate we are looking at some wide players here, but I feel if Luiz fails especially then not sure we have adequate back-up list for our star CM.

If he is overpriced English youth now, then in a couple of years he could be massively overpriced English potential. I’m going glass half full on this.

Maitland Niles and if you mention Brownhill then add desperate bid for Soucek or Coufal
Harrison and Doucoure

Unsure why anyone is getting their knickers in a twist about the fee etc, TFG are very unlikely to have just given a set amount to spend in transfers unless they are idiots.
Far more likely us they have given a rough ball figure in terms of wages and fees and complete costs allowed within a range fir the dinner spend - likely season spend.
Dibling for 35m on say 35k per week, with minimal signing fee for 5 years, costs. 9m in wages so total costs commited too is 44m
Now say Fofana is wanting 120k per week and costs 40m with same signing fees etc. 31.2m in wages so total commitment is 71.2m
Over a 27m difference
Do that on say 2-3 signings and what would look like only 15m more spent is actually spending or commitng to spending close to 80m extra and has to be factored in.
The combined fee and wage costs are gonna be the budget this year. Not some arbitrary - we have 150m to spend in fees.
So for a player wanting much higher wages we are more restricted in how high the fee can go, if wage demands are much more reasonable then we have way more room to increase the initial fees.
I'm guessing Dibling currently on a youth contract at Saints is asking for a lot less than either Kubo or Fofana would be - hugely less in fact.
Same can be applied to Douglas Luiz who'd cost 30-35m with currently 150-175k per week say compared to the cost of buying Mcatee who'd in all likelihood cost less initial and far far less on wages, so what would look a similar outlet for the club on fee would actually be 30m cheaper a deal.

The English thing is bs, young players now are far more expensive across the board as nearly every club has moved to the model of buying under 26

Good, prioritise getting permanent deals done, loans are always meant to be to fill holes or gaps. Never as the first port of call. Also early loan deals massively favour the club loaning out
