Stuart Armstrong from Celtic is great but that’ll mean another window shop and another player out, we need a centre back as the ones we have quite obviously aren’t performing under the manager, goalkeeper? Centre Forward?

Ha Ha lets see who we get and how many, Lemina out? Bertrand?

It will be interesting how Les performs over the next month. New boss and has not provided the results expected.

Nice bit of business but done under my/our terms. Will be invested in my amazing evolution of football its very self. Backing MP, sacking MP and upwards and we march around, nowhere in particular.’

I do think events over Jan will be guide to the future one way or the other.

Sadly we have had no offers for your services from The Reds, despite the opening of a special “Sotonian’s Fund Me Page”.

We’re hoping the opening of more rabid threads during The January Window will encourage our membership to dig deep and get you gone for the remainer of the season.

Now confirmed by Saints official twitter as a “world record fee for a defender” so fair to assume that £70>75m is correct

Bazza the club have ‘spoken’. Sfc themselves have confirmed an agreed deal with Liverpool.

Glad we didn’t follow up our complaint with the FA now about liverpool’s conduct. If they’d been banned from transfer activities as a result then…

We fucking showed the world !! Lol.

Don’t be like the others and least nail your colours to the mast and say what way, do you think they’ll give it to someone who’s likely to get the boot?

Good riddance to bad rubbish. He’s poison!

I’ve got to admit, this whole thing about spending before we buy is a bit of a slap in the face. I get the business argument but it doesn’t send out a particularly great message. It’s hard to remain emotionally invested in the club when you are continually reminded it is a business first and foremost.

Let’s just hope that Les buys some Manes rather than Redmonds.

How they go about it I have no idea but I’m pretty sure we need the following:

  • goalkeeper

  • centre back

  • attacking midfielder

  • target man centre forward

In reality I think we’ll only sign two players.

This is a fairly unique position for the club in so far as previously we have mainly recruited to replace decent outgoing players. However now we find ourselves in a position where we also need to replace underperforming players with no suitors who still have several years left on their contracts (Forster, Tadic, Redmond etc).

Unfortunately I just cannot see the club doing it. It goes against the moneyball mantra.

Interesting times ahead.

£75m, so they blinked first. Scared man city were going to out do them and went with a silly offer. Fair play Liverpool. I hope he’s worse than Lovren.

Now the thing i want to know is why announce it now? Only makes things more expensive for us. Maybe Coutinho is off to Barcelona and they need to lift the mood.

Shame they haven’t added a line to say that the fee will be reinvested in the team…

Coutinho isn’t going anywhere this window, my source has also said this, he by way sells potatoes outside the Nou Camp.

What have the Chinese said? Or are they too busy asset stripping?

I think it’s more of the same for now.

Not sure if that is what you mean.

All the good that has been done by various people is at risk of coming undone. Evolution has ceased. The present set up is failing.

I’m open to the fact that this will change. It could all change in the next month however I think given the nature of the take over any real change will come in the summer.

"We apologise to the owner, board of directors and fans of Southampton for any misunderstanding regarding Virgil van Dijk.

“We respect Southampton’s position and can confirm we have ended any interest in the player.”
