Nah it got them before others could come in more than anything. Coutinho was a January deal... Mane' early May i think.. Salah talk or leaks/tapping up started in April if im not mistaken.
If Saints thought they could get more than £75m for VVD or what was deemed a very high price for Mane at the time they would have waited for other offers.
No point in waiting around when you have already been offered what is obviously going to be the highest bid.
Tapping up has nothing to do with the selling price.
