The papers have been full of transfers out of Saints, any exciting moves potentially coming in?

You should have plenty of cash to work with.

It appears Lovren isn't best pleased with Soton

Wants to leave because they are selling their best players and not happy the club turned down the bid from Liverpool and didn't speak to him about it.

Looks like Lovren will be joining soon then

£25m and he's yours. We may be a selling club, but we sell for the price we want it appears.

id imagine cl footy and much bigger wages will also be far more tempting than the fact we've sold some stars.

Expect somewhere between £17mil and £20mil plus add ons and you have doubled your money.

Rumours are we have rejected the original £18m. I'd still expect nearer £25m. Is he worth it? Similar to our recent sales he's worth what someone will pay, but I think it'll be £20m plus. Now just need to spend some money ourselves!

Suggestions that the original bid was closer to the £15mil mark - would be very surprised if a bid of over £20mil happened.
 
Papas1982 said:
The press release from Lovren said €25. If £20m doesn't happen then I don't think we will sell. With got what we wanted so far.

But so far the transfers have been uncomplicated - the Lovren one may well end up with a transfer request which will muddy the waters a little possibly

Lallana was no angel either. Refused to go back by all accounts. Obviously players let things 'slip' when in their home countries to help with rumours. If he requests a transfer then he loses out on loyalty bonus of approx 10% so I guess £18m would cut it.

And then we pay the £2mil to him as a sign on fee.
 
Papas1982 said:
Maybe, but i'm sure Lallana, Lambert and Shaw have all got them too. Either way, if we make £20m on him i think it's too much to resist. Same for Schneiderlin.

They all get signing on fees but players that put transfer requests get a little bit more added on to make up for the loss of transfer bonus etc

I'm sure clubs won't release the figures so will never know. All i'm saying is i reckon the others would have made more with combined signing and loyalty bonus. That said, they're not really gonna miss it either way.

You hear of some refusing to put requests in to ensure they get a loyalty bonus ? How can it be a loyalty bonus when they clearly want to leave - not many players are not looking for more money

Agreed, i think they first came in for smaller clubs who couldn't afford such high wages but let players know hey'd have a pay off at end of time a club as a sweetener. I personally wish we could of kept him, but was surprised when we sined him in the first place tbh. He's clearly a cl defender.
 
Lovren is defiantly a player I would like to see at Liverpool next year. I think he sounds a bit pissed off at Southampton as he saw them as a team with good players, a good coach and some ambition. Now they have lost their manager and some of their top players, he is seeing them as a team going nowhere. From what I have read he is also annoyed the they have not said anything to him regarding the offers they have received.

I think he's milking that tbh. If he did any research he's of known we'd been in prem for one season when he joined. He wants to leave for champions league and thats fair enough, but all this lack ambition etc, im sure if he'd been the first player liverpool went for he'd of said it was a dream move, liverpool are a great club, all players want cl footy etc etc.

What are Southampton going to do with all this money. No activity in the market yet and still more players going. What can he expect to win at Liverpool....there's a question. Not the CL, and not the PL. Definitely chances in the cups though. If Lovren comes in, is he really better than what Liverpool already have
