Dealing with Southampton is going to be a problem. Koeman is leaving and them turning around and selling Wanyama for a cut rate fee to us is going to be a PR nightmare for them with their supporters. They already have Mane, who is their most dynamic player, with one foot out the door, but at least they'll get 25+ million for him from Liverpool or United. We are going to have to pay more than 15 million pounds to sign Wanyama before the season starts, I suspect.
Let's not forget Dembele will miss the first four games of the season, so we can't afford to wait to get a transfer like this done in August, which I worry is when Southampton will look to sell based on finding a new manager and scouting and signing a replacement player.
