We have to shit or get off the pot.
It's bad form to turn up 24 hours before the window, 'allegedly' establish the player wants to come, then haggle all through the day.
I can see a conclusion/deadline no later than Leicester kick-off tonight, surely?
I think he's a bit too professional for that. Let's not forget how close the Sanchez deal was in the summer, and he was definitely wanting away.Surely if this don't go threw...he's going on the Injury list till the end of the season....no way is he going to turn up for them again
They're asking that money because the big boys are pumping silly sums on players. The money from the premier league has warped things and we all take the blame on that as we're all part of it. But then you have the state owned stuff going on like PSG, oil money like Chelsea and you that floods the market with cash. (I have no problem with it by the way, people should be able to spend what the hell they want).
If Liverpool pay £75m for a CB, when saints go to get a replacement they are going to find the price has gone up for them. That's just how it is, we're all part of it. But the more money that floods the market the worse it will get.
I'd pay the money immediately , what's the point of being loaded if you don't gain advantage out of it.
I've noticed the media are reporting all the transfers like they're fans of said club ,all excited like its Christmas until they get to our then the tone changes ,little sly digs , blatantly comparing our spending to some countries spending , rich bastards basically , they don't report on any other club in this way.
What really annoying is some of our fans have fell for it , almost embarrassed for signing the best players , just fucking stop it ,hold your heads up high & be proud of this great club with its great but chequered history. We are building a fantastic once in a lifetime team here so ignore the jealous/racist tossers in the media,they hate us anyway.
Believe me my bar isn't that high...rough is perhaps not the right word.....not as tasty as she was is maybe closer to the mark.
What's 8m in scheme of things though,pay the fucking 70 and get him in I say,don't want this falling flat at 10.58 tonight on way home from match,get it done this afternoon ffs.
P/S - - Put petrol up a penny a litre tomorrow Sheikh Mansour,sorted then :)
Fuck off Leicester. Greedy twats.[/QUOTE
They've every right to ask whatever price they want, as does every club.
