Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[EFC_FRANCIS]

We could afford to be a lot more patient with targets and negotiations if we didn't have a squad of about 6 players. They've got this window all wrong

That publically documented 27mil bid seems a bit like a pisstake now doesn’t it by us.

For context - if you was opening negotiations for a 200k house, our opening offer would have been 108k. Not the greatest way of managing a deal

I don't enjoy these transfer windows.

We'd be mad to agree to a big sell-on payment. We're the ones taking a massive risk here on a raw teenager. If we develop him and sell him on for big bucks, that money is rightfully ours.

Well a house is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it no matter the asking price. Nobody has come in with a higher bid than us yet and I doubt anyone will.

Southampton make counter-offer to Everton in proposed Tyler Dibling deal

Southampton have come back with a proposal of £45m plus £5m in easily achievable bonuses and a 25 per cent sell-on clause.

Walk away.

This lad is not worth £50M of any clubs money, and we are not Chelsea, Man Utd etal

Well no, it depends on how realistic the asking price is.

I’d next door just sold for 110k then an opening offer of 108k is sensible even if they owner is saying 200k

I think there are few issues here, firstly we are now on our ‘plan E ‘ for this general type of player .
Like all clubs Southampton want to get the most they can , but want their supporters to know they got the best price for a homegrown talent , hence the accompanying blow by blow commentary.
I also think that Southampton are confident his value will rise not fall, and that they are happy to retain him for another season if we don’t meet their valuation.

I dunno it feels pretty obvious that Southampton aren't getting 50 and we're not gonna walk away.

This is just brinkmanship over probably less than 5mil.

A

£50m for a player with only one season as a key part of the 2nd worst premier league team of all time. Time to move on.

And only 2 years left on his contract pure greed

It’s simply too far from their asking price. The same way we was offended with the branthwaite to Utd rumours/bids

 

[millow1878]

I would walk away out of principle. Focus on other areas like RB and CM and wait until next season to buy a RW. Yes it’s a priority but we aren’t challenging next year. Or the year after. We have time.

We haven't one available right wide player in the squad

How can we wait to next year ??

They were prepared to negotiate but it was said earlier in the summer they value him close to £100million. £50millon plus a 25% sell on fee would probably get them to about £65-70 million at least if he kicked on and we sold him for big dough.
