    Saints fan here. Not looking to stir it or anything.

    Just wanted to ask youse all about the two lads above. Know Forster but I know nothing about Van Dijk other than Koeman is very keen as a replacement for Lovren. We've had **** time of it of late and to be honest bringing in anyone would be a ****ing blessing.

    Feel like as the bigger clubs rip our lads out, we're ripping yours out, but that's the nature of the beast these days I suppose. What do you think we'd have to pay?

    Best of luck tonight. <ok>

    If anyone was to put up 5/6 million for VVD and 7/8mill for FF then it would be extremely difficult for the board to refuse. Although if these players were leaving Saints for as you say 'bigger clubs' the fees would be 15/20mill and 25/30mill, and that just highlights how ****ed up the money is within the bigger leagues.

    If we do sell to an EPL team, we should make sure that we have a high % resale clause (25/35%) would make the sale a lil sweeter. Although i expected Wanyama to be sold on to a bigger Euro team by now and he aint exactly been as good as he was for us so perhaps VVD and FF will go and drift into obscurity.

    Dont think we should accept anything until we have our European path set - CL/Europa.

    Forget VVD. Ambrose is the player you want. £10m any day of the week <ok>

    With you there, our team has been ripped to shreds because of the gap in England alone.

    From what we've been hearing, nothing will happen until after the second leg. Interesting to see your valuation of Forster, all of us thought our initial offer was a joke at 4m, but then Les Reed is a bit of a cock so it's not a surprise.

    Vic has been very good for us, great at the start of the season, but fractured his leg around December and was out for a long time, picked up again at the end of the season. A lot of fans credit our great early season defence to him alone.

    Don't be greedy. I think we'd accept £9.5m to be honest.
