Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

Is he one of those players that because he's been mentioned as a target people just want to see him in the door because we're desperate, and actually he's not very good / won't improve us? Or if in theory there was never any link would anyone really be saying "I think we should go for that Hojbjerg lad, he's decent"? Just a thought.
I don't want us spending our transfer kitty on someone who we might want to get off the wages in 2 years time (like Schneiderlin), if we're not completely sure he's what we need. I'm not even sure he'd get ahead of the current Spurs midfield tbh. £15m take it or leave it, and we just move on if not.

£20m would be genuinely pushing the envelope on this one - £35m would be actually insane.

 

[GwladysBlue]

We’re going to bid £30m+ for him, aren’t we?

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

Shouldn’t be taken to the cleaners over this one. Last year of his contract and wants away. No need to pay over the odds.

I personally think the Spurs chat is Southampton trying to create a bidding war. Hopefully we've made our stance very clear, we're only bidding X amount and if that's not enough we're moving on.

Roydo thinks he may have already heard we did.

Did I just hear on TS that we have now offered them £30m, and they said No?????

Bloody hope not.

If we pay in excess of £25m for him I'm going to assume that the club have actually managed to learn nothing from the last 4 years.

Which would be almost impressive when you think about it.

I might have misheard mind. Hope I did.

For £20m I think he'd be a really good signing. Anything over that and you'd think there'd be players just as good available around Europe - would rather have Allan.

That's exactly how I feel too. Anything more than £20m we should be doing the Abe Simpson routine

Or that we are some kind of experiment. Or betting syndicate c

Why would we go from offering £14m via Joyce and McNulty to offering £30m?

We wouldn't have is the answer.

 

[Baines' left foot]

I’m glad the JUST PAY IT WHO CARES ITS NOT MY MONEY days are over on here. That wasn’t a great time.

Just break the bank Moshi and spend the doshy!!!!11!!

 

[CJR]

This stinks of them trying to get Spurs to up their bid, move on, he is going there.

Wasn't 14m included possible player trading as well? The player seems to want Spurs and Saints appear happy to wait for them to bid so I'd walk away. If he's happy to be a bit part player there rather he doesn't have the mentality we need.
