49er Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Go for Ake. If we are to be successful this season it will be the result of our attack- Vardy, Tielemans, Maddison, Chilwell and Ricardo. If they get their act together there won’t be too much defending to do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t sell early in the window as Man U didn’t bid at our asking price so that’s on them, not us. Also... In that time, we brought in Perez, James and Tielemans and they’ve had a full pre-season. So we’ve done good business early in this window, and United have dragged their feet If you have an intention of selling when they come back with a higher bid then you either sell early for less, or set a deadline midway through window and at that point flat out reject all bids. When man utd fans were asked why are they not giving up, they gave a reasonable answer which was "because your club didnt flat out reject meaning they willing to sell". We as much as a selling club as southampton, the main difference has been we have recruited somewhat better with the replacements.

Hardest position to play in football cos you’re always at fault for a goal, unless it’s a worldie. Never hear anyone say a striker is at fault for not scoring.

Harry is was still being reasonable though. That all changed when he wouldn’t play tonight. If he’d done that before he would be gone already most likely.

The solution to that isnt to sell, the problem with selling, is its a sign of weakness and means all a player has to do to get sold is to refuse to play a game right?, A nasty precedent been set. Instead just suspend players until he starts playing again. But is that actually what happened he refused to play, and "without" a transfer request? I mean to sell without a transfer request seems insanity at this late stage. Edited 2 August 2019 by Chrysalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be one of the the first bloody names on the Euros teamsheet bar injury. Who is he competing against - Phil Jones, John Stones, James Tarkowski, Jo Gomez, Chris Smalling.

Chrysalis Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 23 minutes ago, Stevosevic said: Problem is Maguire probably wanted to go to United last summer and we agreed to let him leave this summer for a price. We got him on a new long term deal to push up his price a bit, an extra season out of him and moved on this summer. I imagine that's what has happened. I think it's clear he wanted to leave so there is only so much we can do despite the length of contract So if I understand you right are you saying contracts are not enforceable? as you said there was little we could do.

Corky Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Good player and very likeable but he was going to go and, to be honest, getting Tielemans in was the biggest part of this summer. Huge week ahead to get a replacement in. It's a huge move for him and the scrutiny will be intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Babylon said: So then.... so far we’ve made a profit of £12m this summer. Remember when people were giving the big one about spending big a week ago Always wait until the end of the window before giving it large, it’s the golden rule. I believe this was the plan all along, but delayed sale to maximise pre season sales, optimism from fans etc. As after all the net expenditure is not far off recent seasons. Profit if the fee is 85m is actually about 4m tho as he has a 8m loyalty bonus. This also assumes we dont buy anyone else this summer.

LC/FC Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 So what's the next possible stumbling block? Now the fee has been agreed, will Maguire himself is holding out for extortionate wages that he not worth? Man Utd offering 200k a week but he's pushing for 250k. With an added 50k per clean sheet and 20k if he has to partner Smalling or Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
