So not that long then. What would you class as a realistic fee?

I'll counter that with a question. What would you expect to get for Jonny Williams?

Wrong muppet, according to saints fans i know (work with) they agree that Morgan Schneiderlin was there best player followed lallana then lambert. stop making up stuff to suit your agenda.

Palace still sniffing. Club reps camped close to Brighton further down the Lewes road.
Like I said, the Southampton fans said he was their best player. It's their manager who's frozen him out, not them.

There's asking and there's insulting. Yours was the latter.
You're right though, he does want PL football but I imagine he'd rather be playing in a team who can compete at that level not one who are going to get tonked 8 out 10 games.
Look at Cardiff. That team went up because they were the best in the Championship and are looking capable of putting up a fight, you lot finished in the last play off place and ( fair dos) beat better teams to go up and are looking well out of your depth ( Sunderland are NOT a PL team and you know it) at this level.
I actually would prefer to see you giving it a go in the PL as it could inspire other teams with aspirations to get there too. I just don't think you will.
Dream on that Bridcutt would be allowed to sign for Palace now that Poyet has gone ( he might have allowed it) bloom will never sanction that.
I can't imagine anyone would bid any higher than £5m at present.

There you go then.
Since 2010 Williams has started 44 games for Palace, Bridcutt has started 135 for us.
You do the math!!

You'd better hope they don't. My fear is that one or two of your better players will get snaffled by bigger fish come January. Williams would be one of them.
Any chance you can engage in a discussion without petty insults?
When we signed Puncheon plenty of their fans were on our messageboard saying how he was their best player for large periods of last season and they couldn't believe they let him go. You're welcome to have a read through if you don't believe me.
He played 32 league games for them last season, so I think he did alright.
Nice one. It's just all too easy with these Palace gimps.

Probably because he can only play for 20 minutes before getting injured again. He looks fantastic when he has the ball but if he's never going to be fit then he's not going to be worth big money.

Cheers. To be fair though Williams was 12 in 2010!!
I think £5m is a fair price to be honest, but I can't see any Prem clubs paying it.
I'd be disappointed to see Jonny leave as he's a local lad, but he barely starts a game for us. With Bannan and potentially another midfielder coming in his chances are going to be very limited.

If you dont like it then p*ss off to the BBS. I dont need to read it, i have been told by 5 (five) saints fans that Morgan Schneiderlin was the best player. Just face it, your going down. Down i tell ya.....
Cracking contribution. Thanks sweetie.
Williams will be a decent Prem midfielder in the future and is undoubtedly talented, but a player with an injury record like that is worth next to nothing if they can't prove their fitness.
