| Tall Paul Heading From Southampton To Turkey on 09:03 - Sep 8 with 1680 views | PatfromPoole | Ah so now I see why Sport Republic bought a Turkish club. It was so that Goztepe could acquire players from other Turkish clubs, freeing up cash for those other Turkish clubs to take on our shite. Brilliant 👏 👏 |  |

First priority for SR would have been covering last season's losses. Next would be balancing their books across their assets, not just us. Next would have been a three or five year plan to achieve some sort of financial balance. Then they would have assumed that the majority of the players we had left or had acquired would be enough to maintain a position in the Champ and perhaps scrape a play off spot. |  | |  |

Indeed!! And there was me thinking it was just the millions of Turkish barber shops that have sprung up around the UK recently that were the money launderers. Dragan ain’t daft. WE LAUNDER ON |  |

No way the Turkish club can afford to pay anything near the wages level he has here so we will be giving him a one off payment of of around £8-10m just to get him to leave so whatever the transfer fee is we will actually be making a loss on the deal (in addition to the £20m transfer fee we have wasted on him.) |  |

Does that £12 million figure factor in relegation clauses and appearance-based bonuses? |  |

Can we get Lis back from Turkey? I see he's established himself as Goztepe's first team goalkeeper now. He's kept a couple of clean sheets too, which is something our goalkeepers can't do. https://www.transfermarkt.com/mateusz-lis/leistungsdaten/spieler/345437 |  |

| Tall Paul Heading From Southampton To Turkey on 18:56 - Sep 8 with 1397 views | grumpy | Yes! we wasted money on Paul because we didn't give him a chance. What was the point of buying a tall striker and not giving him the ball in the box and expect him to run around like a headless chicken chasing it. To not give him a game in the Championship was ludicrous. I don't know if he could have succeeded here because he wasn't given the time to prove so. Good Luck Paul at least you wont have to suffer watching us trying to walk the ball into the net after numerous passes. |  | |  |

Exactly, as so many are slagging him off, yet he’s not even had a chance to show if he was that bad. As in the past we’ve had the likes of Orsic, Carillo etc… all of which ended up playing very little and we’re rubbish for us, but at least they were all given a chance so did kinda deserve some of the stick they received. TP on the other hand, didn’t get much of a chance whatsoever, so where all this hatred for him has come from, is just baffling |  |

Orsic given a chance ? He played about 15 mins for Saints, over 2 substitute appearances - 1 in the league and 1 in the cup. I think Tall Paul had 11 appearances for us, although I don't know how many of those were starts, or how many minutes he amassed !! :-) |  |
