Tudor is releasing Sneijder from Galatasaray.
A cheeky bid?
It's just a little bit 45 years of age and unable to run, it's still good, it's still good....

So far we have only media gossip to suggest the market has gone THAT mad. No average players have actually been signed for such absurd sums yet, but somehow a lot of people seem to have normalized 50m fees for squad players already.50 mill is part of inflation,the markets gone mad.
I agree he is a better player but I don't see him signing for us therefore not getable.
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..So far we have only media gossip to suggest the market has gone THAT mad.

Yeah, all media gossip until a transfer actually happens at those prices.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..
Anyway this thread is for tweets so I'm not derailing the thread.
The one we've all been waiting for.Tweet

selling a few players could also help balance things out:

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.Tweet

They need to keep pushing that price up. It'll be a useful reference point for Smalling and Jones.Tweet

The fans had turned on him a while back. Some of their thoughts: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.
I will fondly remember the cup run but the way he set out, especially at home, was inexcusable.
When you're winning a corner at home to Hull or Bournemouth and end up passing it back to your own 'keeper it makes for some pretty boring viewing.
I feel a bit bad for being pleased, he's probably a decent bloke, but **** me most of what we saw at home was bloody boring, negative, awful.
Good riddance Claude, you were probably a nice bloke but watching saints felt like a chore at times last season. Roll on next season....

Remember when Sunderland sacked Reid for 7th place?I worry Southampton will just turn into Swansea at their turnover rate.
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..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.
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.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.
He's the fecking manager of Southampton5th place and an FA Cup was not enough for LVG to keep his job, so why would Puel?! His football is far more dire..
United and So'ton surely have different targets and objectives, no?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..
They gave Liverpool a good smashing in the semi's too.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.

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.Tweet

Think people tend to take this transfer stuff too seriously, so get emotionally wound up when someone claims to have heard something.I dont get why people get on Pilib de Brun's dick the way they tend to. Doesnt seem to be a muppet at all. Always says "this is what I've been told" followed by a reason why said thing could happen and also has a lot of people within the game (including ex-United employees) as regulars on his podcast. The fact he was spot on about everything last year has given him a pass as well.
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.I worry Southampton will just turn into Swansea at their turnover rate.
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.Pathetic. 8th place and a cup final, not sure they could ask for more.

Fair enough. It's just fecked up how easily managers get tossed aside.Style of play, the feeling within the dressing room, the feeling within the stands also has to be considered.

Because mourinho was available and lvg was on his last year as a professional contract before retirement.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..
I plan to do just that every transfer window but find myself on this thread and on twitter every 30 minutes!!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.
What is wrong with the press release?They couldn't put out a better statement than that? Not like he ruined them. Did a decent job, just not great to watch.
Good post, especially on noting they didn't sack anyone since Adkins.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.
