    Not really because Rangers legally were in admin, Southampton FC were not. Rangers required a CVA (which they couldn't agree and died), Southampton FC did not require a CVA as they have never legally been in admin... so different situations.

    Rangers died in 2012, Southampton FC did not die in 2009. :50:

    Sutton just talking about Man Utd defence and who they should buy and said the 7m been quoted for Virgil is "ridiculous" as "he is a better player than John Stones".

    £10m to £12m, with Celtic getting a 20% sell on clause.

    Enjoying Sutton on Final Score :smiley-laughing002: Dublin keeps making comments and Sutton is basically rubbishing them every time. Has that same kind of social awkwardness as Keane :smiley-laughing002:

    He did aye. Good to hear him say it on a show that is not just been watched predominantly by Celtic fans though.

    I think he realised he was being a * last season and ridiculing Ronny every time instead of giving him a chance, him and Hartson had to swallow their pride with comments they made.

    Aye that and he is actually a decent commentator knew exactly what was needed/lacking form our display.

    Should stick to that instead of * journalism to sell * tabloids.

    I think he's a * commentator but there we go...

    Far as VVD goes, he is a better player than Stones. Benteke is a better player than Kane as well who is supposedly worth 50 million. English players are held on pedestals by the media and everyone else down South.

    I think he'll be playing for Southampton by the end of August.

    Alderweild is better than Stones and went for £12M, Eriksen is better than Sterling went for around £12M as well, unbelievable how inflated the prices are for average English players with a bit of potential.

    It at least appeared to be the implication given that you were quoting my post about a sell on fee.

    Shaw as well, he's a fairly average player, really no better than Rojo or Blind who Man U also signed for less than Shaw combined.

    Being English can double you're value.

    Sterling I think is actually probably worth about £40million though, he's already proven to be quite good is only 20, probably always will be a £25million atleast player but could go on to be world class. But Shaw, Stones and Kane should probably be worth like £15million, £15million and £25million rather than £30million and £40million.
