With all the revenue from player sales at inflated prices, Southampton must be richer than God by now.

Cenk Tosun on his way to Everton for £25 million. He was a really good player when he first arrived in Turkey, a bit like a poorer version of Harry Kane, and I hope that he makes it here. He was born and grew up in Germany and speaks good English so should be able to hit the ground running here.

Originally posted by SouthdownRebel View PostI can only assume that figure includes a considerable amount of "sorry we tapped him up" money.
Add that to the premium paid above the release clause fee for Naby Keita... it looks like somebody in this infamous transfer committee is reading their calculator upside down.

His name conjures images of a rufty-tufty, socks around his ankles, working class football hero. Presumably West Ham have got caught up in the imagery too as they brace themselves to swap 25 of their millions for young mistake-riddled Swansea centre back Alfie Mawson.

Mawson seems a vastly inferior version of Harry Maguire, a player I'm unsure about anyway.
A friend of mine always praises Maguire as he reminds him of himself. Good on the ball, unafraid to take players on in dangerous situations, turning up in areas where you don't normally find your centre half.
Consequently I always criticise Maguire as he reminds me of my friend. Constantly out of position, a massive hole in the centre of the defence where he should have been if he hadn't been caught on the ball.

harry Maguire played in the 2011 FA youth cup final, along with Paul pogba, jesse lingard, michael and will Keane, and Ravel Morrison. Jordan Slew was the Sheffield United player tipped for the top. well at least he's in the running for scoring a goal in all four divisions and scotland He just has to get one in the PL. And I'm not sure that's going to happen anytime soon.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 30-12-2017, 12:50.

Slew has been a UK record holder however. From his Wikipedia page:
In March 2015 he was caught by police speeding at 156 mph in his BMW M4 on the Cambridgeshire section of the A1, in what was the fastest recorded speed on a public road in the UK for more than three years

Fenerbace and Trabzonspor are rumored to be chasing Kemar Lawrence from the Red Bulls.

Originally posted by Reginald ChristMy initial response to that was to say that Jeff Hendrick could be relied on to make things happen but then I remembered just how much he's regressed as a player since Euro 2016.

Cork's a particularly under-rated player by many people. A Wales fan said to me a year ago that he was symbolic of all Swansea's problems and only a "half-decent Championship level player". I just don't think people appreciate a player who keeps and uses possession well without doing anything more showy.
