Rumours that we are willing to meet the clause for Benteke - £30mil and offer Milner £130k a week ?!?!

Must be better players around for that sort of money

Just personal preference, dont think hes been as good as he was since the head injury and would rather us look elsewhere than look to take players from rivals. dont get me wrong Id rather him to our current options!!!

I'd agree he was better before the head injury but I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to take a player that would strengthen you and weaken us at the same time.. :confused:

Fully agree that he's better than your current options, which is why I wondered why you didn't want him.

Arsenal:

Keeper (not Cech though for me)
Centre half (must have some pace)
Defensive midfielder (someone big and strong)
Goalscorer

So basically a new spine plse lol

Instead we'll get 5 small midfielders and a versatile defender lol

Oh and Id cash in Wishere whilst hes vaguely fit, would also let Rosicky go somewhere to get regular football

Can't argue with any of that! Pick up those players and I think we'll be challenging for the league. Otherwise it'd be a scrap for fourth again.

We need quite a few new faces, a CB or two are necessities.

One player I'd love to get signed up is Harris Vuckic (currently on loan from NUFC).

Pretty much a whole new team for the challenge of winning the championship next year. :(

Think there's not much chance of Vuckic signing given the state of relations with Ashley. Small price to pay for him getting his claws off!

I don't think there's a hope of him going for 10m. He's England's rb. I think we'd keep him for the last year of his contract instead of accept that tbh.

Southampton won't let him go for free - a price will be accepted. Clubs aren't daft to realise now that they can't afford to allow good money to just disappear.

It won't take much more and he will leave

We have no rb of any note to cover him. He himself has said he isn't lookin to leave but is keeping options open. IMO opinion he may leave, but do t think it would be to Liverpool, same as schneiderlien. They are good enough for a cl team. So if Liverpool have started at 10m it'll got to at least 15m.

We we may not wanna lose him for free, but we may feel we can convince him to stay, we may decide that at 2m per place in the league we will finish 3/4 places higher with him in the team so the. The lose isn't so high financially.

He isn't looking to leave but willing to let his contract run down ? As with Sterling - refusing to sign a new contract suggests the player wants to leave and the price will prob go up to around £13mil with add ons

He hasn't come out and Said he WONT sign one yet. He has also said he's happy here. He could quite easily be thinking. One more season as saints guaranteed starter so he nails his place in the England squad for the euros.

He's seen a lot of his mates leave and be in worse positions. He could easily stay this year, then leave at the end of his contract havering played in an intl tournent and command even more wages.

Realistically if arsenal win the cup. Only four clubs in England would be able to offer him a better prospect than us next season.

I don't see Chelsea or Coty wanting him. So only leaves Utd or Arsenal.

I don't think he's nailed on to leave this season at all. But I would guess that this will at best be his last season with us.

Sorry but he has a year left -I'm pretty sure the club would have offered him a new contract over the last 12 months - and he hasn't signed one - does that not tell you something ?

Moving up a club will help him nail down an England place

Sorry but both Spurs and Liverpool offer bigger prospects - I know we are in the same comps next year etc etc but it's a step up in club - one season doesn't change that and he would be a starter at both Liverpool and Spurs - the worldwide exposure for both clubs is a lot greater than Southamption

It's why players left last year and why players will leave again this year if bigger clubs come calling with the right amount of money.

I haven't said that we are bigger than Spurs or Liverpool. I said next year playing for us he is in no worse position. Spurs would make a bit of sense as pochetino is there and knows him. But if he goes to Liverpool. Will he look a better defender and therefore improve his chances of intl footy? I think it would be easy to argue not.

I think he sees himself as a cl player. If he goes to you for let's say £15m has a good year but you don't make cl footy. He's stuck with you unless someone pays ridiculous money.
With us, he has one last year then goes to a cl team.
Him not signing tells me he doesn't just want the money. He's forgone a year of extra wages for his ambition. So no. I don't see him playing for Spurs or Liverpool next year. As whilst both are bigger clubs. I don't see either getting close to cl footy next season.

But fans being optimistic is something we all do. Much like you said Suarez wouldn't leave. I'll be happy to eat humble if clyne is playing for Souter team not in the cl next season.

And last year you had cl footy. It wasn't just Liverpool being the super club.

One for arsenal fans. He's Walcott? New contract or not?

For me he needs to be played up top. He may not be as clinical as he believes. But when a youngster at saints. He was always best through the middle.

Let's be honest - we had the same conversation last summer in regards - Lallana , Lovren , Shaw etc - and they all left

And when a club stumps up the money then Clyne , Fonte , Scnederlin Pelle etc will leave because they will go to clubs that will advance their career

Playing for those clubs improves the chances of Inty football , it gives them chances to play with and against better players , improves their wage and exposure

If and IMO when the fee is accepted then Clynne will sign terms with Liverpool IMO because it's a step forward
