If they invested more money in their squad, they'd be pushing for Europe. They've got a top-class - if stingy - set-up and a brilliant coach. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Southampton are so inconsistent and unpredictable. They'll always be a mid to lower league team. Jo Aribo won't improve their consistency . Edited July 12, 2022 by Gazza_8 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very important to the development of our player trading model that Joe does well. Worth much more than the contractual add-ons. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing 12th instead of 15th would see them recoup over the initial 6M* they paid for Joe. * According to last season's prize money 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,603 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 He’ll do well and he deserves. Still don't understand how we didn't get £10m up front. I’d be shocked if the EPL clubs would walk away from that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franc Ergs 1,352 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Yes ,the whole 6m plus add ons thing is a bit pathetic tbh, especially given that we're dealing with the richest league in the world. You commit to buying him and you either deliver the whole 10m in cash in a big fuck off suitcase to the front door ,or you can gtf. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ross Wilson is happy with the overall package, then I'm happy. The fact is, Aribo was in the last year of his contract; he can sign a pre-contract in January, and leave for nothing. He's a good player, but he's not vital to the way we play. Moreover, we have to sell players if we're going to get this selling model going. I would argue Aribo has worked perfectly in this regard. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
