There are how many TOP TOP keepers out there? Neuer, De Gayer, Buffon, Courtois, Lloris. Hart is in the bracket below for sure, so what are you expecting from our summer business on this front?
the owners are hardly going to come out with a story saying we have 450 million to spend so we get bent over again are they? the money is there, the owners aren't stupid. They're not gonna pay over the odds for players anymore and this is a simple way of saying this to other clubs.
From the BBC
We've been asked how much money Southampton will make from the Gareth Bale transfer.
The answer is absolutely nothing (almost).
Saints did have a 25% sell-on clause in the deal to sell Bale to Tottenham, but is was renegotiated when the south-coast club were in deep financial trouble.
As part of the new deal, Saints got Spurs goalkeeper Tommy Forecast.
Daniel Levy is some sort of arch-negotiator.
OUCH!!
