Sadly, it looks like Fernandes will be leaving and joining up with JWP.

What confuses me though is the valuation. We're digging our heels in for 50 mil for Dibling yet there is talk of Fernandes going for 30 mil.

Surely it should be the other way round. Fernandes was the stand out player last season. For much of it, Dibling was a stand in.

Losing Fernandes will be a big blow even if they offer us JWP as a make weight.

I really highly doubt that will be the case, likely the opening offer from West Ham not what Southampton value him at.

Fernandes on the pitch is far greater value than money in the bank. It makes no sense to sell him. If we were to return to the PL we would need players of his ability and we certainly wouldn’t be able to afford anything like the going rate for him.

That’s why I say keep hold of our most valuable asset. Show some ambition and future proofing.
