With the news that both Lis and Lyanco could be off to the 2nd division Turkish club our owners are in the process of buying you have to think if this is a good thing for our club or is PL money being used to improve the net worth of the owner's other assets?
There is no way a Turkish lower league club could afford the wages either player are on and players of their age/experience will not be gaining anything from playing at this low level. However, if both contribute to the club getting promoted to the Turkish PL then the owners will be left with an asset worth far more than their purchase price.
The Lis deal seemed off from the start. Why sign an out of contract 25 year old player when we already have 3 senior keepers and our number 1 keeper is a lot younger than 25. Lis can't exactly be said to be one for the future. It's very likely he'll never even play for us and was signed specifically to play for the owners's other club.
Given we are the poorest PL club should we be spending what little funds we have in this way?

This amazing transfer window the half-fullists were raving about seems to have been the loss of one of the top 5 strikers in the country, our starting LB and our best CB and replacing with...
A LB we blew most of our budget on but now aren't playing A young RB when we already had a VERY good RB Another Championship level striker A CB nowhere near playing at PL level and some kids from the Academies of Chelsea and Everton
Southampton are set to sign Brazilian centre back Lyanco from Torino. Celta Vigo and Betis made proposals in the last weeks but Lyanco is ready for new Premier League chance. 🇧🇷🔴 #SaintsFC
Deal will be completed for €7m, as per @DiMarzio. Final details to be fixed soon.
Seems about our level of signing. Squad player for a team who finished 17th in La Liga last season. Was dropped from the first team, came back in for his team's 7-0 thrashing and then was dropped again for the remainder of the season.
I guess at least he's got some experience of embarrassing defeats.
