Anyone know anything about this guy?

Nope, but, given his name, I suspect he had sex with my sister.

3m looks too much for us atm.

Can we pay in rubles?

 

[TheBlueBlitzer]

Tarkowski is fine, it's not some sort of coup as some posters would have us believe. It is not a transformative signing. It's just fine (and expensive).

We've tried buying established PL talent and failed, this is without doubt, anyone who claims otherwise fails to understand empirical evidence. So, we can try to correct that, or try something different. I'm in the mood for something different.

Ive been in the mood for something different since league winning scout walsh came in.

Yep, in hindsight, that was the start of our decline.

Ben White, Luke Shaw, Callum Chambers, Matt Targett. You might say that is just OK, but that's five players with solid PL careers in 7 or 8 years that have either made a difference to Southampton or have earned them decent fees. We can't run the Chelsea or Man City model, 20 odd players out on loan, I get that, but we can do better. We should always be trying to do better. We'll probably just keep trying to sign Watford and Burnley players for 8 figures and give them high 5 figure or 6 figure salaries per week.

And do we not have similar numbers? Barkley, Gordon, Dowell, Lundstrum, Davies?

And here we are so many years later, meant to be happy with ANOTHER player from Burnley (on a free). One day we will have the players worthy of playing for us.. I've got time ill have to wait some more years i guess.

Errmmm Anichebe?

Still hope the club look for another forward if we bring in mgw and cornet

Dowell and Lundstrom had to drop divisions (no shame in that), White is one of the most expensive English defenders in history (albeit Brighton made that money not Southampton) and Targett left Saints for somewhere in the region of £11.5m. We got good money for Barkley and would get good bunce for Gordon (but less than So'ton would get for Ward-Prowse, imo). Best case scenario, absolute best case, we're on a par with Saints, in reality we've done a bit worse than them. That's where we are with our youth system, a bit worse than Southampton. If we're serious about getting back to the top we need to do better. Or, we can sign Burnley and Watford players in perpetuity and continue to get a little bit worse each year, have fewer saleable assets each year, reduce expectation each year and settle into the championship.

We don't have years. This year or next we get relegated with our current model and current ownership. It would be the most Everton thing ever to open our new stadium in our first game in the second division in over 70 years against Luton or Huddersfield or someone like that. NSNO.

And as I pointed out mate, we compete for players with City, Utd and Liverpool, Burnley even, plus all the other North West clubs.

Im not against "your idea", we do need to try and do better with Youth, my point is, you cant just click your fingers and watch as the Fodens fall on your lap.

Bit early to say the current model agree the ownership has been a disgrace. But we will all have to wait till the end of the window to see who we have got in. I would have liked new players in for the trip to the Usa.

Look, I don't think we're that far apart on this issue. I accepted in a previous post that a youth system is, at best, going to provide a genuine first team player once every year or two. However, that moderate level of success saves us £5-20m in transfer fees and, due to the low staring wage of academy players, probably saves us millions in wages too. That doesn't even include the inevitable transfer fee when we sell the talented youngster, when they realise that if they want to succeed they have to sack us off.

 

[Zezti]

MGM Studios and Corneo might turn out decent, but are they worth a combined £50m+? That's most of the Richy money. We might have to dig into the Arteta money for a CDM.
