Three Players Their Way, Two Players Our Way
Three Players Their Way, Two Players Our Way
Have events unfolded in our favour, has an opportunity fallen into our lap, a three player their way, two player our way opportunity?
As expected, the pandemic has caused those clubs that have over extended themselves like Southampton, financial difficulties.
In such times the only way out is to sell players you can get the most money for or those on the highest wage. If they are one and the same their sale becomes even more important in times of stress.

The South coast club have been forced to put chief goalscorer Danny Ings up for sale.
I recommended we sign Ings when he was at Liverpool but alas we didn't go for him and the Saints secured his services. Now we have an opportunity again and as a proven goalscorer in the Premier League, he must surely be on our radar as a backup to Harry Kane and someone that can play with him too.
His presence would keep our goal scoring threat and his wages at Southampton can't be huge.
Why pay £50m for 26-year-old (27 next February) Polish forward Arkadiusz Milik, who hasn't played in the Premier League and wants to join Juventus anyway.
When you consider he might not adjust to life in England or the Premier League, especially during a time of social distancing and when you have a proven goalscorer who is a homegrown player into the bargain available, wouldn't that move make more sense..

We need to look after our homegrown contingent, his contract in up in 2022 so even his fee isn't at maximum levels, or shouldn't be and with Southampton clearly needing money quickly, it is an ideal scenario for Daniel Levy to drive a hard bargain.
But then we want their captain, Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg too. Could we arrange a double deal to give them some much needed cash and loan players to save on expenditure for replacements?
Throw Kyle Walker-Peters into the deal, he has no future at Spurs, loan them Oliver Skipp perhaps or even Troy Parrott to develop either for a season, presuming Southampton stay in the Premier League that is?
Why not all three for the two players plus some cash. They have replacements for both positions they lose players for and we get two players back in a year with a season of Premier League football under their belts.
Southampton save the money and have a chance to reorganise financially, see how the football situation is and cut their cloth accordingly.
