I can barely stand to watch England anymore. I reckon I've watched no more than 15 minutes since the Euro's. Its just sooooo boring.
Are you OK?
You seem a little edgy.
KWP & Spence In, bomb out the other 2.

Would be good if we also had a 50% sell on clause
I agree. Imo all international matches should be competitive, with just two tournaments - the World Cup and a regional / continental competion (Euros, S America, Africa, Asia etc).
But on KWP, if the total Spence package incl add on clauses is north of £20m, for a guy who's never kicked a ball in the PL, I can see why we would be looking elsewhere.
Wiki lists KWP as playing 62 PL games for Soton in the past 2 seasons. Whenever I watch them, he seems to be a starter, and usually has some good moments. Mostly in link up, attacking, play. He still occasionally looks vulnerable defensively.
I wouldn't want him as a RB in a back 4. As an attacking WB, I wouldn't be surprised if Paratici & our scouts have encouraged Conte to look at some film on KWP.
That said, I can't see Levy activating a £30m buy back clause (assuming it exists) on a player he sold for about £12m.
If the thought of it was that much of a taboo; why would he even insert the clause to begin with?
Because it's what the cool kids of Real Madrid do with the likes of Reguilon.
I always think of a buyback clause as insurance protecting the player's original club. If player x is sold for £10m, fulfils his potential, and is now worth £30-40m, then the original club essentially has first option on the player.
Assuming the KWP clause is real, the question is whether he has developed into a £30m player. My answer is No.
But then Soton allegedly want £75m for James Ward-Prowse, so the English market is fucked.
And a lot of people are forgetting Alvarez who could be well tasty.
They have Mwepu and Caicedo who both look like they can get to Bissouma level or beyond. They won’t be wasting twice the money they paid for the pair of them on Winks. In fact doubt they will buy another Cm at all
Just signed a new contract. He was a free agent if he wouldn't.
They may have to completely change style of football though which I’m not sure Pep is up forSorry but there’s not ‘zero chance’ of being a flop.
Of course there’s a chance.
Not a high one but still a chance
That Ornstein article didnt even link us for a KWP transfer - merely said we have a buy back clause of 30m. That article sounds like agent trying to put feelers in market to move him on.
I dont think we will bite - I do like KWP for a Conte wingback but we will never entertain thoughts of buying him for 20m let alone 30m
Dest is rumoured to be 20m for Barca & Dumfries could be got for 30m. So, better options out there. Anyway, link itself isnt done with us.- we can pass

I understand how they work, but you've essentially just described the scenario we now reportedly find ourselves in.
Well we'll all have an opinion on whether he is worth it or not, but I'm just responding to the suggestion that Levy wouldn't be prepared to exploit the option.
EDIT: All this aside, Livramento is fucked until further notice, so S'oton selling their other RB seems like a far out idea in the meantime.
£15m about the right price?
