Are Shlongs pegged to anything? I'm afraid they'll start getting shorted with this whole greek business.

 

Just trying to look out for SW, don't want Alps having to negotiate a bail out deal.

2 $hlongs for the 2 players combined, not just the CB I believe

 

Right.. that makes much more sense! 24 mill on one player would have been pushing the boat out massively!

Krychowiak's release clause is around £15m and Van Dijk is rumoured to be around £9m. Wishful thinking?

 

I don't expect us to spend more than we receive from clyne/morgan sales which is c.£37m or 3 $hlongs. How much did we spend on first 2 signings? 8m in total? Plus 8m for clasie leaves about 20m left for the 2 signings, 10m on van dyke then another midfielder for a similar figure. No idea who that can be, he's going to be the surprise one that no one thought about.

His release clause is reported to be £15.5m.

 

But surely if we bid more than the release clause then we'll outbid the competition for him? That's how it works, isn't it?

No, there is no need for anyone to bid higher than the release clause. If you match the release clause it is automatically accpeted and is then down to the player to decide if he wants to leave.

 

This is a concept Pompey fans struggled with when Jed Wallace was sold.

(FWIW, look up - it comes from that original tweet. Confirmed by Martijn Krabbendam in Voetbal International)

 

Krabbendam is not a reliable source, he's a Feyenoord watcher for "Voetbal International" but Feyenoord refuses to speak with him... He usually makes assumptions which can be made by anyone else.

Guess so, everyone knows this deal will be closed. The question is: what will Southampton pay? No so called journalist knows the answer at this moment.

I really wish we could stick to one currency. All this talk of £ and € is making my head hurt.

 

Can we all agree to just use one going forward. I propose $hlongs

Didn't say which day though. When I was at Uni we had a puerile saying of "tell you on Wednesday"...the right Wednesday never came as a rule.

 

I was in a pub that had a sign that said Free beer tomorrow, the sign was always there and it was always free tomorrow.

Still doesn't tell us much apart from livening up all the speculation for at least another week!

 

Mr two point O sent in to raise morale?

Done deal ,announcement sometime in 2015

I am also hearing it will be announced at quarter past eight tonight. Well excited.

It's ok, that's what I was referring to... :-)

Still think he's too short, you get much more for your money with a Peter Crouch or a Lacina Traore!

 

Seriously will be well pleased with Clasie. The Dutch Xavi, you must have something about you to be called that. The team is getting there. We need the obvious centre back recruit, hopefully Van Dijk, and maybe one more midfield recruit. After that any player we bring in is a squad bonus, like another keeper, another winger or another striker.

Nathan Redmond / Will Hughes either will do get it done!

 

Big fan of Redmond, but figured Norwich getting promoted ruled that out (and doesn't fit with Guan's mention of 'CM')

 

Forgot about Will Hughes - Surprised he's not been snapped up already.

On the plus side you'd save money on only needing to give him a youth sized kit !?
