Southampton spent nearly £40m last season, i doubt we are going with that model like.I agree with all of that, I've just got to the stage where nothing surprises me any more. It would be a kick in the knackers if he went out on loan, as for a permanent, I would wait and see what the deal was. I think we are now working on a Swansea/Southampton model to a coin a phrase
I don't know what Johnson is on and wouldn't hazard a guess, but we all want value for money. Like I say hoying decent wages doesn't mean we can get quality players as per your point about Gardner and Bardsley. I also would suggest that there are teams who finished above us with a lower wage bill, again though that would be guessing.
