Steelsilver 0 Posted September 1, 2015 a snip at that price i would have thought 14m, it just shows our lack of ambition that niether of the 2 top defenders we tried for we were really serious about. Our defence is a shambles and if we fail to fill that today then sorry we are looking at relegation and before you yell its too early..go back a few days to sunday and our opening match and tell me one good thing about our current (non-existance) defence.

Grant Holts Moustache 105 Posted September 1, 2015 11.5m would be a snip if they signed Rooney, how ever they are signing a defender untested at the top level so 11.5m is a calculated risk. I do wonder if people actually realise how much money that is. £11,500,000 is a lot of money I keep seeing figures thrown around in here like they a mean nothing. Let''s see some perspective that will be around about 10-15% of the club''s total income this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted September 1, 2015 The money''s irrelevant. He would never have come to a newly promoted side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted September 1, 2015 [quote user="Cantiaci Canary"]The money''s irrelevant. He would never have come to a newly promoted side.[/quote] ^^^ This. He wouldn''t have been at all interested. Like it or not, Southampton vs Norwich now in the eyes of players as well as finances-they''re nearly out of sight. Plus the bonus attraction for him of working for Koeman. Which would make a difference to most players anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
