They are mulling , we're dabbling and then we'll probably have Dibling.

Southampton aren't bad negotiators they did well on Lavia and a few before they generally stick very close to their valuation.

Don’t get the OMG 40 million
I know we been skint but 40 million is not a lot in this day and age

Madueke 55
Broja 25

Market is mad, but it shows that PSR is not fit for purpose when teams only allowed £105m loss over three years, the market has completely moved on from when PSR came in.

We're in a bad position now, we either overpay (and heap even more pressure on the lad), or miss out on him and have to go to our 6/7th choice RW, with the selling club knowing we've got 40m earmarked for a player in that position

Got to the point now where I just want to watch this lad in blue now even if it's super pricey. The way he moves with the ball is pure box office. Him, Ndiaye, Barry and KDH running at you is a huge amount of threat on the dribble. Though I still desperately want one really good passer in the side (cough, Hackney)

I'm not sure Southampton are in the strongest position on this.

Championship season starts this weekend, and you would presume that they would want time to reinvest anything they bring in. Yes, they could try and squeeze another £2 of £4 million out of us, but if they have players lined up, there comes a point where you may as well cash in. Replacements could go elsewhere, or the prices could go-up if Southampton are seen to be sitting on a lot of money from the Dibling sale.

Apparently the player isn't happy and wants to move on. So there is obvious a risk in keeping him. If for whatever reason, he doesn't leave this summer and they don't get promoted (which wouldn't be a surprise given how awful they were last season), his value isn't going to be any higher than it is now.

And if he's not happy, do they play him during August, with the knowledge that an injury could scupper any potential incomings they have lined up? Very risk to be starting a £40 million player in the Championship.

I'm not sure why anyone would think that. That only happens for players who are clearly not wanted by their clubs. When you want good players, leaving it to late on is a certain way to end up spending more and potentially buying the wrong players as you get desperate.

I didn't appreciate the CEO saying everything was on track when it was quite clear from the manager's comments that it wasn't. Actions matter more than words.

Did he actually say this?

Been mentioned a bit, I don't think they're asking for much more than 40, it's just the upfront amount. To me that means a deal is very close and will more than likely happen.

It's likely already done. Possibly they want to throw in a sell on clause or extra bits.
