Russell Martin has Ross Stewart as his main target **Transfer confirmed **

[tony_not_in_london]

It will show a complete lack of ambition selling your star striker to a promotion rival.

Mags went mad when Andy Cole was sold to Man U

But then they bought Shearer…so depends who we bring in to replace LND eh?

 

[wicketkeeper]

Yet they are trying to sign our main striker and offer him better wages?

Exactly. Says everything about us if they succeed

Probably Andy Cole again.

But he’ll be gone next summer anyway. I see the logic in getting some cash for him

They have Sunderland fans acting like accountants now.
Before they came most fans just wanted a good team and be able to compete with lesser clubs like Southampton

Yep before the current owners nobody even discussed the accounts. Not sure what makes Southampton a lesser club either.

Maybe the club medical experts have told KLD he is goosed and to get shot while we can.

Then he wouldn’t pass a medical.

We’d need to be over 39 million in the red over three year to be foul of FFP.

Last accounts was about 5 million but was covered by owner injections so essentially 0 (adjusted for allowed injections) with regards to FFP wasn’t it?

That's the problem, we'll sell Ross then struggle to get anyone before the deadline!

 

[wicketkeeper]

Get in we could blow 40 mill and still be less in debt than the saints….what do you think will happen if they don’t get promoted in The next couple of years if they are still carrying that debt?

Im sure that is exactly what their fans are thinking. NOT

Im sure that is exactly what their fans are thinking. NOT

So who are these nailed on promotion winning players you have in mind to sign and approximate values, be great to see your thinking?

It's like a Catherine Tate tribute act.

Imagine the uproar on here if we'd bid £7.5m for a player who had only been fit for 14 games in a year and a half

Obviously the unpopular opinion, but I’d be definitely cashing in. There’s no guarantees in football. Outside of Emile Heskey scoring his only goal in a year against us.

Stewart for 7.5m is a great deal for Southampton.

Edit: 5 million would still count towards the 39 million allowable loss however youth development/women’s etc doesn’t count towards FFP so the actual ‘loss’ for FFP would have been less then 5 million.

4 or 5 posters on here would do their nut.

The same posters who are doing their nut about selling him

Stewart for 7.5m is a great deal for Southampton.

It's also probably more than I'd expected to get when he hasn't played for 9 months and has basically told everybody he's free in 10 months.

No recognised striker for 5 games = it’s ok the window hasn’t shut yet.

Selling our best striker in years because we won’t pay the going rate. = it total makes sense ffp and all that.

Imagine the uproar if we had bid 35-40 million for Livramento who had only been fit for 2 games in a year.

Shock horror you’re defending the club. Clapper.
