S-Clarke Posted 24 July, 2017 Share Posted 24 July, 2017 Hernandez was pretty naff last year, not sure he's worth the 160k they're spending. I think he went 15 or so games without a goal, compared with the 30 odd goals he got the season before, I don't think he got more than 15 goals last year in all comps.

mrfahaji Posted 24 July, 2017 Share Posted 24 July, 2017 I'm more than happy to have Gabbiadini and Austin. Some seem never to be content with what they have got. For this reason I don't think we should have been looking at signing Hernandez, and if the wages quoted are correct, he is way out of our range anyway. That being said, I think he is a good signing, and for a reasonable transfer fee in this market too. I'd be surprised if he became another West Ham striker to fail to score at least three goals.

If your point had been we don't get enough goals from midfield I'd have agreed with you. My point, was that any team shorn of it's key goal scorer (as we were last season) would struggle to achieve, unless they can pay someone of equivalent quality sufficient that they're happy to sit on the bench.

the saint in winchester Posted 25 July, 2017 Share Posted 25 July, 2017 Chelsea are keen to sign Southampton pair Cedric Soares and Ryan Bertrand after missing out on Danilo and Benjamin Mendy. (Daily Star) Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will get a further £150m to spend in the summer, with Southampton's Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk and Juventus and Brazil left-back Alex Sandro, both 26, top of the list. (Daily Mirror) According to this, Chelsea after Soares, VVD and Bertrand. We could be starting with a brand new back four, if this comes to pass.

S-Clarke Posted 25 July, 2017 Share Posted 25 July, 2017 Even winning the league and playing in the champions league isn't enough for Monaco to keep their best players. They've lost the spine of their team in this window, although they're a hell of a lot better off for it.... They had an awesome young team that would have got better, but as per football it's not fair and the richer teams just poach them and the normal pecking order is returned....getting a bit bored with football to be honest.

I think some Monaco players see last season as a bit of a flash in the pan. Monaco is OK for non French citizens but the French nationals can't be fiscally resident in Monaco and get knocked ass over tit by French taxation. Monaco can't pay their taxes for them either.

Window Cleaner Posted 25 July, 2017 Share Posted 25 July, 2017 (edited) We surely can afford a £25m signing without selling anyone given the PL riches? I don't think they give it to you in a lump sum, isn't some of it staged over the whole year ? We get about 122 million I think, probably about the place money all at once and all of the rest spread over the year. So 1x25 million or so and 12x8 million. As our salarial mass is somewhere around 75 million there's not a whole lot left over from just the monthly PL pay cheque. Then there are all of the other expenses of the season. There will be something from Europe but as we didn't progress very far it won't be all that much. Liverpool made 35 million or so by reaching the final in 15/16 but for a group stage exit we'll probably get about 4 million, from that we have to pay our costs. These training camps must cost a pretty packet as well and it's not the Saints XI vs Odds and Sods XI that's going to finance them. A trip to S. E Asia would be far more profitable, that's why everyone's down there. Oh and I forgot, we had to pay off the manager we sacked.

At what point are you going to realise it hasn't been called the Premiership for the last 10 years? I'm also puzzled how you think we are "struggling financially"? We post a profit in accounts and also have one of the most expensively assembled squads in world football and a huge wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
