This is an oxymoron with Daniel in charge.

"at the end of the day we all share two things, an intense passion for this wonderful football club and a burning desire for it to once again taste success."

If he has a burning desire as we all do, he's keeping it very well hidden.
 
"However, the midfielder is currently unconvinced by the move"

I mean, having already torched the EPL, the only way is up obviously! :pocheyes:

One things for sure, if he goes to a so-called bigger club (eg Barca or PSG), I'll be livid if we concede to losing money on him.

Problem is we overpaid and he has performed terribly. Of course we are not going to give him away for a silly price but we might have to take a 5-10 mill hit if we are lucky. This applies to a straight cash deal though. If we agree to sell him on a loan to buy deal then I think we have a better chance of receiving what we paid for him

He should take a 50% cut for achieving fuck all

Fat chance...

My view is that (eg) Barca won't be buying on the basis of what's he's done this year so would be be buying the same blatant potential that we dropped 60m on.... Given the chance to swan about surrounded by WC players TN immediately becomes a 100m+ player. Seeing as they'd be actively instigating a purchase, then cash-flow problems or not they can pay the same big-boy premium as when they bought Coutinho, Dembele, Griezman or whoever.... Same as cunts like PSG... Hardball the shit out of them and fuck off any muggy swap deals for their high-earning dregs too.

I'd rather lose him to inter for 40m, than to some wank-house, spoiled bitch club for 50m.

There's a broader-term principal at play here.

£15m during a pandemic is a lot of money for a club like Southampton to turn their noses up to.

According to Transfermkt, they’ve only ever spent £7m more on top of that figure on any player, so you’re looking at a huge slab for them to be missing out on for what would essentially be a bench warmer
But what will he bring to the club? I don't know as much as most on this forum but even I can see his mediocrity. Don't we have enough dross in the squad already? Buying him really reminds me of my Mrs. If it's a bargain price, buy it. Doesn't matter what it is, buy it. We don't need it....buy it! This is so typical of us. Don't buy what we need, RB, LB.
Just keep it cheap and we'll cram them in somewhere. No way we're going to win EL. Or top 4 in the foreseeable future. Depressing.

He's not being offered to us cheap though is he? ...So your analogy doesn't work.

We're trying to strke the best deal possible for a player we're apparently interested in.

Our biggest need is a DM.... Have a word with yourself!!!

Misery loves company.
