Agree, I personally was only valuing Townsend around 10-12 mill max. But sometimes when the selling club can instantly get a replacement, then that can sway the deal in the buying clubs favour. I think?

You make a good point, but then your choice is then to believe the media reports one way or the other, that we're either not pursuing Lallana altogether or this one, and then consider which seems the most unlikely of the two.
Rose shit, Naughton shit, Lennon shit, Townsend shit, Defoe shit, AVB shit, Sherwood shit.
Nailed it.
Im immediately skeptical about player swap/part exchange deals. They are very rare and Id imagine rather complicated.
At the moment Im inclined to think the press line on us not being in for Lallana is more likely. Especially when you consider the like of Konoplyanka out there for half the price.
IMO for us to get Lallana it will be 100% on Southamptons terms, which would likely be straight cash.
I, probably like you, take most of what I read in the tabloids with a pinch of salt. But rumours and hypothetical scenario's keep a large % (subject matter) of this forum fueled.
I,ll answer your question back-to-front, so to speak! No way would we have any realistic chance of nicking Lallana if we did not have Tino in charge.
COYS!!
I did. Before the season started. You seem to think there is a complexity to the game that I'm missing. You can be pretentious as you like.
At the end of the day you think we can replace our 2 top prem goal scorers easy enough. You connect dots to strange places. Prem goals are one of the things we struggle with, and you think money could be better spent if we get rid of two of the top dogs of the season who score them...And then post pro posts regarding a player who was in the top 2 for being the worst in a shots to goals ratio.
Gibbs, we've been over this a merciless amount of times and every time you flaunt your inability in reading comprehension. If you want to chalk that to up to being pretentious, then so be it. But I'm weary of having to repeat myself because you cannot or refuse to appropriately read points made to you.
And yes, I have never seen you once discuss cause and effect in tangible terms, so I do believe you lack understanding in many complexities of this game. This is more than sufficient evidence to it:

I can't even work out what you mean here.
Are you suggesting we needn't abide by the rules because we have a lot of money?
HUGE and MASSIVE mean the same thing. No need to use both to describe our pool of players
Millbanks...You were the guy who believed the stuff that CJJ was selling. Eproms just posted this in another thread: The red bolded part is the only aspect that matters. Like I keep saying..It's not even a thing to worry about. Esp with future signings etc. Hell even without it's not a problem.

aulinhobored:I still don't think he gets it.
First point, I don't see how the squad that just finished the season is "old out of date information" - none of our first team players have been sold or released, nor has anyone else signed for us. Thus, still in date.
Ironically,

posted the same thing as me, just in a different thread, yet I'm called all sorts of things and I spread misinformation, whilst he praises the thread and post. Hmm...Just to get an idea of what you're thinking, gibbs131 , can you enlighten me as to what your 25 man squad would be?

I'm thinking my 25 man squad would have no more than 17 non homegrown players.
Adebayor
Paulinho
Chadli
Dembele
Capoue
Chiriches
Eriksen
Holtby
Kaboul
Lamela
Lloris
Sandro
Jan
Soldado
Oh look. Less than 17 non homegrown players. I'm good! Now I have dozens of other players I can sift through use and to stay within the rules. Unless you think selling 4 or 5 English players stops me from doing this?

Just to check your understanding, you've got 1 GK, 3 CB, 8 MF and 2 FWs.
That's 14 players, 4 short of a matchday squad.
You've not registered Livermore, Assou-Ekotto, Falque, Walker, Rose, Naughton, Dawson, Lennon, Townsend, Sigurdsson or Carroll, so you can't play any of them.
The only 3 players which have any experience of PL football which are 'free' to play are Bentaleb, Kane and Fryers, so which inexperienced youths are you going to field?
Then if you get an injury to one on your list, I assume you'll be playing the likes of McEvoy (tiny dancer)?
Because you didn't register them. That's how it works.
You have plenty of inexperienced youth to "sift through", but you've sold "4 or 5" of the key first team HG players so there's not enough to cover a match day squad.

You're either trolling, or you're being stupid, but just to clarify or even to defend yourself, pick a squad of up to 25 players and an example matchday squad.
We've apparently got an abundance of HG players, so that shouldn't be an issue.
