60 mill was being quoted for Van Dijk,Pretty sure Troy Deeney had a ridiculous price quoted last season,Everton want 80 mill for Lukaku..

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Yeah, all media gossip until a transfer actually happens at those prices.
The one we've all been waiting for.
selling a few players could also help balance things out:
either smalling or jones
young
januzaj
rooney
Tuchel? Would make the EPL a Murderers Row of Managers. Too bad Slutsky signed with a relegated Hull
Bellerin is such a drama queen. That hair, too. Awful.
Pathetic. 8th place and a cup final, not sure they could ask for more. Now I know that this has more than success to it, but I feckin' hate how some clubs treat their managers.
They need to keep pushing that price up. It'll be a useful reference point for Smalling and Jones.
I worry Southampton will just turn into Swansea at their turnover rate.
The fans had turned on him a while back. Some of their thoughts:

When the fans and players turn on manager, only one thing'll happen.
Remember when Sunderland sacked Reid for 7th place?
Almost as if Southampton are twisting on a 19 each time.
5th place and an FA Cup was not enough for LVG to keep his job, so why would Puel?! His football is far more dire..
How Southampton performed in the Cup final was the exception rather than the rule to how they played in the rest of the games. Similar attitude in their other games and their fan base probably would have been happy enough.
Yeah, suppose you're right. Wonder how United would'be felt after Louis' 2nd season if we finished, say 3rd with that shite football. As this sounds a bit similar.
He's the fecking manager of SouthamptonUnited and So'ton surely have different targets and objectives, no?
They gave Liverpool a good smashing in the semi's too.
Is a reporter from Talksport a reliable source?
Edit: Forget it. I clicked his profile and he's sent 4 tweets.

Wasnt he close to Milan? Poor Fiorentina getting targeted this summer by the bigger Italian clubs
Typical that he leaves and then his injury problems clear up. Either our medical staff arent up to snuff or joses right and players are sitting out games they could play albeit with discomfort.
It is baffling
Think people tend to take this transfer stuff too seriously, so get emotionally wound up when someone claims to have heard something.
Following transfer rumours on Twitter is sickening. Tweets are now spewing out about Fabinho joining Atleti, including pictures of him in their strip etc with the plan for him to move in January. All on the back of Jorge Mendes having dinner with Atleti president.
Part of me just wants to sleep for a month, then check the news.

Southampton have a highly competent and rigorous structure for recruitment of both players and managers. Swansea had a bunch of (initially well-meaning) chancers who kept throwing sixes and believed their own hype, before selling out the supporters trust. However, they did realise (if only in part) the error of their ways this season and went back on an insane decision to appoint Bob Bradley just in time.
Not one of Southampton's managers has been poor, and this is the first one they have sacked since Nigel Adkins, who also did well for them. They replaced him with one of the best youngmanagers in Europe. If their next appointment is a poor one, they have a pretty decent margin for error.
Style of play, the feeling within the dressing room, the feeling within the stands also has to be considered. They had a good season but it doesn't necessarily mean the following year will be the same. They probably feel this is the peak with Puel and that they'll regress if they keep him. Sad for the guy though obviously, but that's the way it goes.
Fair enough. It's just fecked up how easily managers get tossed aside.
Because mourinho was available and lvg was on his last year as a professional contract before retirement.
I plan to do just that every transfer window but find myself on this thread and on twitter every 30 minutes!!
They couldn't put out a better statement than that? Not like he ruined them. Did a decent job, just not great to watch.
What is wrong with the press release?
Good post, especially on noting they didn't sack anyone since Adkins.
#Calciomercato | #Roma, the #Zenit manager Mancini flirts with #Manolas
I agree personally. 'We have terminated his contract with immediate effect' is extremely cold, and would leave a load of people wondering why the feck you would do that when he's done a decent job.
A more diplomatic line like 'have parted ways' etc would have been far more respectful I think.
Should have atleast wished him the best or thanked him for his service IMO
