Totally agree. If he's good enough for us, he won't be at Southampton for long.
Either way, I am looking forward to how he copes against other top teams including us.

I’m not sure if it’s an actual policy, but Hazard is the only outfield player over the age over 25 that they’ve spent money on in the past 10 years. And he was 28, not 30.
It's not a policy, and just because they didn't pay a transfer fee, doesn't mean they didn't spent a shit load of money on Rudiger and Alaba to be the spine of their defence.

Totally dependant on the small print in individual contracts.Is there a specified time limit with buyback clauses or is each transfer treated differently?

2 years is usually standard but we have gone 3-4 years before now.Is there a specified time limit with buyback clauses or is each transfer treated differently?

18 years old and starting to boss Prem midfields.....He looks at least the equal of Philips.

By the time he's 24 he will be twice the player Phillips is.
Should have kept him.

He's already played more minutes than what he would have done this season for us.
Not difficult to see why he wanted to leave.

No,not remotely.It was the right choice for his career.
He was showing the ability a good while back to make the step up,yet he was confined to EDS football even when we were crying out for a player with his skillset.We then go out and spend 42m on a back up player who performs exactly the same role.......
Baffling decision,extremely short sighted,and one that grinds my gears.

And played next to no games never develop now he will play plenty of games and in two years we can buy him for 40m
