Reports we are about to place 3rd and final bid for Lavia of £40m + add ons. All so Lavia has informed Southampton he wants to move to Liverpool. If all true hopefully it's an acceptable offer and doesn't just unsettle the player as we need to stop with the under hand transfer tactics.
We did not like it with coutinho so let's deal with teams how we want to be dealt with.

Once again we see the well know concept of negotiation being described as underhand. What's wrong with some of you lot? We're not taking about the price of a cup of tea here, we're talking about millions of £s.

10 mil is quite a difference especially as City would get 8 mill of it with their 20% sell on clause.

So technically it would be a deal worth 32 mill to Saints.

I don't get this bashing the club for not automatically bending over to Southamptons wishes. Business isn't done like that . We are negotiating for a price that we feel the player is worth, you don't just go and agree to all Southamptons wishes straight away, You negotiate, and at the end of you're successful, happy days. If not, just move on.

News reports that Southampton keeps moving the goal posts.

They want £50 million now.

{Ed001's Note - that is not moving the goalposts when they said that from the start.}

{Ed001's Note - no idea, I don't know if we are anywhere near where Saints want us.}

We should have simply signed Ugarte when he was available.

£32m is still an outstanding profit on a player they paid £14m for let's be honest.

Reports earlier today, not sure if true, that Saints were increasing Lavias price due to the increase in interest from, Chelsea, Utd and Aresnal. If so i think we should walk away.
