Saints trying spend a bit of dough..
Ok, not imaginary, fabricated is a better word. Twenty five years ago the idea that Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham were at the top of some hierarchy would've got a lot of laughs. My point was that Evertonians patronising Southampton and their fans, suggesting that they are embarrassing themselves and ruining their own reputation is, frankly, bollocks and is essentially what all those eejit Man Utd fans were doing to us last summer and everyone was very cross about that. We're in no position to big time anybody anyway, even if it wasn't a Richard move.I know, it's frustrating, but it's not an imaginary hierarchy. It's one which the clubs who are in it, work hard to maintain, both in their marketing, media management and lobbying of governance.
Look at Newcastle - richest owners in the world, just won a trophy and playing CL football, but still considered a feeder club.
It's dog eat dog.
Jacob Ramsey - 40 million to Newcastle apparently
I wish I was wrong , but I don't see Southampton budging at all.
I dont believe there is any mysterious 2nd offer or a game being played out in the media either.
I've said it before look at the Romeo Lavia transfer ( £53 mil fir a raw 19 yr old ) and not so long ago the Van Diyk transfer. You can negotiate all you want but they set the figure ( as we do Stones, Lukaku even Gordon & Onana ) We'll do the same with Branthwaite in the future . If you don't match the valuation walk away.
As I said I wish I was wrong because I really do like the lad and think he'd do very well for us.
I've also said we will break our transfer record sometime( stood for 8 years and counting ) i believe the club would have to do that to get this lad.
That's where its from - Dibling bit from 3.25You got a link to the video?
