Paddy Boyland is crazy mad quiet on this.

Bobble too. The both of them have, unfortunately, not had very much to say this summer so far.

He’s got rubbish hair. Prefer Harrison and his pristine barnet to be back in the royal blue jersey.

He just went through it in detail on his podcast.

Makinga second bid immediately after the first looks a bit desperate. This isn’t an auction. Best to let the seller wonder for a few days if a new bid is coming and drag it out.

Southampton know there's a lot of interest in their player as clubs tend not to stay very quiet about it when the player has an agent. And they also know that we want to get players in sooner rather than later - same as every club. There's a month of the window left and if at any time Southampton desperately felt the need to get rid of the player due to being unhappy they'd not have too much trouble getting £30M or whatever.

This isn't a situation where the pressure is on the seller.

….reminds me a bit of Chris Waddle. More languid than pacy.

Not necessarily. If their valuation hasn't been met they will not be worried about Everton going quiet.
Imagine if you're selling your house, but don't need to sell it. If someone comes in with an offer under your selling price you'll tell them to improve their offer or stop wasting time.

Ok, let’s just offer them £50m then.

That's probably more than the asking price.

Of course you're being facetious but there's a touch more to it than techniques used to get the best price on a second hand motor.

We have no idea whether they need to sell or not. A bidder for a house never knows. The seller will always want to have the impression they have no need to sell (regardless of truth) and the buyer will always want to give the impression they have other options (regardless of truth). Have you bought many houses? Buyers and sellers always want to give the same impression to the other regardless of their position. The seller will always appear offended by a low bid.

Didn't they reject £27M?

Still too much

Saints supporting mate:
"he's really talented but very lazy, never runs without the ball. Hardly played second half of the season."

There’s always pressure because they know the longer this goes the less time they have to spend the money and replace him. We also have time pressure. It’s just a basic negotiation of seeing who blinks first. We’ll probably wait until Monday to make another bid or we may be looking at other options. It’s not an eBay auction.
