Personally I think we might have missed a trick with lescott. Must if taken a wage cut to sign for WBA.

1.) 20 Jun 2014
No we didn't.

2.) 20 Jun 2014
Yes we did. £100k per week for 2 years is. C£10m. that's total. Same as paying £5m for a player and giving him £50k a week for 2 years. He's good enough and we should have signed him. Slipped through the net. He would have been good for saints.

Lescott is good but wouldn't put Fonte on the bench!

4.) 20 Jun 2014
100k a week is double what our highest earners are on, nearer triple what Schneiderlin, Cork, Lovren etc are on - is potentially upsetting them worth it for a 32 year old who's no better than what we've got on the bench? Especially when we've been linked to younger, better players with bags more potential, who will want much less in wages

plus there's the FFP - can the club afford to pay that much in wages? and now the ffp won't allow wages to increase more than 4 miilion per year if they're already over 52million per year

Coyr give fonte and cork new deals and keep them, have they been offered one yet ED?

6.) 21 Jun 2014
Are you joking?

7.) 21 Jun 2014
I think the current stance is wait until after the world cup before deals are concluded. I agree we certainty need Cork, he was ace last season. Fonte, depends on who else (better/improvement) we would be able to bring in. I'm not sure he would settle for being cover after last season. Happy days, I'm a great deal more optimistic since Koeman was appointed
best wishes to all saints fans

I believe they are likely to be offered new deals but they may seek to move on if they aren't given guarantees they will play regularly.

9.) 21 Jun 2014
Hope they are offered new deals soon with jay rod and then we keep our players and sign 5 decent ones inc 2 strikers. Coyr sort it. Make a decent squad and let's push on and give Rowe some game time

Southampton can't afford but more importantly don't want to pay £100k a week

11.) 22 Jun 2014
Obviously we all want them signed up, I was referring to someone's constant stream of desperate gibberish.
