Great signings if true, can only hope it doesn't happen.
Jackson MARTINEZ
He's not Portuguese.
They can't afford BebeBebe?
He was probably talking about Jackson Martinez and thought he was Portuguese?
Pretty sure he's messing around because I think it's Bebe.
Was going to say this....Koeman will have to get the finger out instantly and start rebuilding the team again.Southampton are being gutted.

That would be a brilliant deal for you guys Barney. But hopefully it doesn't come to thatWe would be getting ripped off, but I would take that.
Isn't Lovren likely to go too?I think Koeman is not in too bad a situation here. Yes, he's losing the core of his team with Lallana, Lambert, Shaw and apparently Schneiderlin, but he will have £60-80m in hands with all those transfers (excluding any original budget they had for this season).
With some excellent scouting and promoting some of their more talented youth, they should be alright I think. Certainly would be a hard task to see them competing like last season, but they'll stay competitive.
I wouldnt mind a cheap defender as long as we get in a top notch one as well. Push Jones or Smalling to right back and bring in Mangala maybe?

Weren't we in for him last summer or the year before that?
No team can lose five guaranteed starters and avoid regression. Even if they reinvest all of that money it's not easy to fit in five new players, who, in all likelihood, are a tad worse than the five that went out. Getting a large wad of cash is always tempting but it's not always that smooth sailing as Spurs found out and hopefully Liverpool will too.I think Koeman is not in too bad a situation here.

And look where paying top dollar for Premiership proven players has landed us.Aye but didn't want to pay what Porto wanted. Understandable that we'd have reservations about paying that much for someone from the Portuguese league but it's a fecking bitch looking back on it now, especially after this World Cup!
