YepWP would be very expensive?
But better players cost more

Then why would we sign PierreI quite like Ward Prowse but it is not just defensive stats that we should be looking at.
He wouldn’t be crazy money IMOHave you seen much of Szoboszlai at Salzburg @Danishfurniturelover? I see that Arsenal and Milan are being linked. He looks like a good creative midfielder/forward who could provide some of what we have been missing since Eriksen left. He is probably already out of our price range though.
Then why would we sign Pierre
He is behind ward prowse on almost every key stat
It’s his availability that is the key but I’m of the opinion we should aim for the best we can
If it meant signing less players but covering the three main problems (RB, DM & CF)
He wouldn’t be crazy money IMO
The Austrian league isn’t a big money selling league as it’s a tier below
He looks quality from why I’ve seen
But all the push for him is his DM statsBecause he might be a better fit for us than Ward Prowse.
But form teams that may not have the money or appealThere appears to be quite a lot of interest in him. That will push the price up.

It’s always the issue with transfersPossibly.
Yep
But better players cost more
Who knowsMore Southampton won't sell except for City type money.
Who knows
They don’t want to sell Pierre but don’t have a choice
WP could make it easier if there was interest (which has not been mentioned) but I can see someone like Neverton offering silly money for him to buy him in why wouldn’t be a step up but it’s the kinda deal they do

That's exciting if true.
At the weekend Mourinho was adamant that his attack didn't need new players but if one is leaving, or an opportunistic deal is possible, then perhaps...
No he didn't say that. He said he was happy with his attacking players. That doesn't mean they can't be added to. Look at the Willian and Milik links.
I think that there's a risk that Lille will be looking for a similar fee to what they got from Arsenal for Pepe last year.
Yep exactly, and he might be another Pepe.
I do like Omishen but the way French sides set up someone with pace can look like a world beater.
Saying Napoli are paying circa 80m euros for him?
How about Jonathon David?.....looks like Lille want him if Omishen goes (and they appear to know what they're doing/buying)
A younger type might be better than a Llorente type 1. As he will still be prepared to not play every week and 2. If he turns out to be quality it will help massively if Kane decides to go (no LLlorente type will help with that)
A downside is a young type might get in Parotts way...but then again nothing wrong with two cracking prospects
. But that is the sort of long term thinking we dont get involved in.
Should note that i actually think we will go for a big target man like Mitrovic or Muriqi as Mourinho likes that sort of player.
