So if southampton asks for 500m would you kindly bankroll this transfer- since you think overpaying isn't an issue? Don't be ridiculous ffs. The 70m we are offering is already extremely generous for a guy who has had 1 good season. If we go any further it's just a sign of weakness and license for every team to hold us to ransom in future. Don't forget we aren't PSG or man city who have sugar daddy owners with unlimited resources
£75m offer for lemar , now we sold Sakho £26m
Does that sound like we can't afford it??? So no , overpaying is not an issue.
"The 70m is extremely generous!!!???"
It's this arrogance that's feeding right through our fans that is part of the problem , tbf that attitude is putting me off, if I was so'ton I'd do the same.
Mate your just like FSG , to think that we are being held to ransom is ludicrous ,
Your perception of ransom is skewed , it's been a constant flurry of dog Shyte pundits trying to bully Southampton to lower, their asking price is
We have constantly been trying to dictate southamtons price , we are unable to park our ego and bite the bullet , we lack ruthlessness as a fanbase, maybe it's the years have worn us down, we had an opportunity to strike while the irons hot, now to continue our momentum we will be fighting against a strong current , dealing with subpar defense,
The only way we could've got VvD to to make an offer that takes so'ton by surprise , only then they will be able to appease the fans as they will have some enjoyment by trolling us, let them troll away , once the dust settles we'll have bought piece of mind. Now we are left wondering what if, no matter what we do it's what if,
It's not good enough , FSG spook too easy.
we have the finances to do that as mentioned above, we've been wanting VvD for 3monthes straight , and we've stuffed up royally
