Latest Rumours Dan Bentley and West Ham

Just like to say this again, sorry!
Southampton paid Gillingham £2m for Gazinga as a talented young keeper in League 2. Gazinga far less appearances, not British, not as many clean sheet, Not on radar of England Under 21s. Yes times have got slightly harder, but not in terms of Premiership spending? So £1m would be a steal? but then again we have Rons preparedness to take low cash offers as renowned. We are not in an embargo and the Housing market has rocketed, surely Ronaldo has done well from this on the property side, so we shouldnt have to flog off the family silver cheaply, ..but this is Ron , so metaphorically £4.50 and a bag of crisps could be on the cards?

On the contrary , this is the same Ron that turned down Six Figure Sums for both McCormack & Bilel . Now i'm not defending Ron (perish the thought) , as in hindsight we should have accepted both bids , but think Ron would only sell a player if the price was right. ( I personally think £400k + 25% sell on would be fair for Bentley )

I hope I'm wrong but I think Dan's off next week. At the end of the Wimbledon game he seemed to do a very slow lap of the pitch clapping each stand.

I know it's a bit of the norm, but I was watching and it just seemed a bit slow and goodbyeish.

2+2=5 and all that, probably reading far too much into applauding the fans...

She must read the daily mail?

To be fair, social media and youngsters is dangerous. I'm so glad it wasn't about when I was a youth as I know i'd have said some idiotic things.

But according to "Around the UK" on BBC teletext East, we are not a selling club. With PB quoted as saying "Maybe bigger clubs will come in but the board have assured me that we don't necessarily have to sell anybody. That was the key point from our board meeting: we're not a selling club." :hilarious:

We got an initial £200k rising to £500k for Ferdinand, so with that in mind, I don't think £400k would be good business at all. If Gazzaniga was worth £2.5m after 20 appearances in League 2 and Jack Butland was worth £3.3m, I'd feel hard done by at £400k.

If he gets an under-21 call up whilst still with us then I wouldn't start negotiations at anything less than £1.5m. With nearly 2 years left on his contract we're under no pressure to sell quickly and there's no doubting he's a huge talent who will go far.

What he said. For once we are in the driving seat.

In an ideal world SUFC will get promoted this season and again next season, Bentley will stay for those promotions ,then SUFC will get a nice 10 million in transfer fee for him from Barca or Real Madrid.Because by that time young Smith will be ready for first team action.But thats in an ideal world.:nope:
