You got to feel sorry for those players left at Southampton.......they must be looking at their agents with puppy dogs eyes asking 'Why does nobody like me...!!!'
It can be done
Utd signed Van Nistelrooy when he was out with a fucked knee, Lazio signed Gazza etc
in regards to Jay, how does an injured player complete a medical? (which to my understanding is necessary for insurance purposes, and thus a requirement for a transfer to go through?)
I think there's a distinction between unknown medical problem and actual physical injuryin regards to Jay, how does an injured player complete a medical? (which to my understanding is necessary for insurance purposes, and thus a requirement for a transfer to go through?)

No. It had something to do with the £100m+ we spent on seven players. And the Bale saga drew more attention to our transfers.If we sign 2 more CBs+JRod and Morgan, that'll be 6 summer signings, one less than last summer, but we'll see no journos/ex-players having a go at us for it. Interesting how signing homegrown/British players makes such a difference to people's opinions...
Considering Schneiderlin was quoted at £27million then I think in this day and age, getting those two players at excellent stages in their development at £30million would represent great long term value for money.£30m you reckon? Wow, that much for Schniederlin and a player who's just done his cruciate?

It's always the best times in the transfer windows when it happens!Feel a bit sorry for @Archibald&Crooks . None of this has anything to do with actual ITK but all this has happened so quickly that this thread has become uncontrollable .
To check he has no cancer, pulmonary TB or perforated diverticulitis.
It's also testament to Cortese making verbal promises to players over bonuses & then when Cortese is given the boot Katherina Liebherr tells them there not getting them. Pochettino has made them a fortune because without him those players are only worth a fraction of what Scousehampton & the Goons paid however Pochettino leaving isn't the reason they want out.
We do currently have a fetish for double signings from the same club.
....not that I'm complaining.
Am I right in thinking that schneiderlin was the best component of the soton team last year? If so, we might have taken their two most important piece in him and MoPo.
I Know, doesn't stop players getting pissed off though, hence an exodusPlayers bonuses are not legal if they are not in contracts under FA/UEFA/FIFA rules as I understand it
£30m still buys you a World Class player, lets put a bit of perspective on this. J-Rod is effectively worth a couple of million in his current condition, so we would be paying well over the odds for Schniederlin. For that kind of money I'd want a player that really is a stand out talent. Anyway, lets see what the fee really is before we continue the debateThis is post Bale era, hence players valuation has gone up.
May as well get clyne in too. Maybe a straight swap with naughtonActually, I'm surprised we would get any as often clubs refuse to sell players to the club they lost their manager to.
