Southampton's current central defenders who obviously didnt really cut it in the Prem is quite a long list of expensive transfer fee players so are they any better than Ronnie?
Central Defenders
Jack Stephens Club Captain 31 yr Contracted June 2025 R Foot
Taylor Harwood Bellis 23yr Contracted June 2028 L/R Foot paid £20 milion
Nathan Wood 22 yr Contracted June 2028 R Foot paid £3-5 Million
Jan Bednarek 29 yr Contracted June 2027 R Foot paid £5.7 Million
Armel Bella-Kotchup 23yr Contracted June 2026 R Foot £8 million
Joachim Kayi Sanda 18 yr Contracted June 2029 R Foot
Shea Charles 21 yr Contracted June 2027 R Foot £10.5 Million
Ronnie Edwards 22yr Old Contracted June 28 R Foot Paid £3 million
Their squad is immense they have 4 left backs and 3 right backs all who would excell in the Championship.
So do they really need him? Yes his wages are probably towards our top level and a fee would be pretty hefty.
If they did sell him other big hitters in our league would certainly be able to entice him but I think there could be an extremely thin sliver of hope we could get him.....dont smash my delusion please |  |

We do absolutely not want to blow all the potential Eze money on him.
IF we get a windfall then the last few seasons have shown we need to invest in a quality striker and they cost the big money.
Decent central defenders are a lot cheaper: how much did we pay for Morrison? A few hundred thousand I’d guess. |
There are so many gaps in the squad we can’t really spunk a big % of any budget on one player. Could argue there’s better value for money investing in other areas and hoping between Kelman, Kolli, Celar and Lloyd and anyone else there’s enough. Not saying that’s what I’d do but the fees for even reasonable strikers like Tom Cannon are obscene now so hoping to unearth a gem of your own or from the lower leagues or abroad is probably the way to go. |  | | |

Totally agree with this. If we are going to be shelling out over £5m on a player, this time it really does have to be on a quality striker. They have the largest resale value too, so would appeal to the bean counters. But more importantly, we need someone who can stay fit, score goals, and has a bit of experience. £2m - £3m doesn't get you that these days, may get you a Kelman but at the moment he's ours anyway. |  | | |

With the sell on fee Southampton would have to sell £6m plus agents fees just to break even. So we would be looking at about £8m just for them to look at it. |  | | |

Whatever the pro’s and con’s are I think we should make every effort to sign Ronnie. May not be possible but we have one advantage over other suitors, he’s here and he’s enjoying it. |  |
| Strong and stable my arse. |

That advantage is wiped out by the fact we cannot (and should not) decimate our transfer budget to get him, not that we can compete with the other dozen teams that may be interested in him anyway. Nakhi Wells loved it here but money talked. |  | | |

It would take every penny and more based on how much they paid for him, the huge sell on clause and the short time they’ve had him. [Post edited 21 Apr 13:54]

His current market value has little relation to his last transfer fee. |  |

How much Southampton would want for him has nothing to do with the perceived current market value: it’s what they think he will be worth in the future. | | | |

As I said on an earlier string, I will not be surprised if this does happen. Thanks for also endorsing my point that the Hamptons might be stuck with their cast of players and need to generate funds vis garage sales to compensate for the relegation. Parachute payments or not.
By the way… this season drastically exasperates the chasm between the parachute clubs and the rest of the Championship. It was bad when we were last visiting the perm, but it has gotten soooo much worse. |  | | |

True story- I came across Adam Lallana this morning in a coffee shop in Canford Cliffs. He was with his family so didn’t bother him too much.
I mentioned Ronnie and said he’s been tremendous for the Rs. He an acknowledged me but I got the impression Ronnie isn’t quite on their radar. Then again would he really be bothered by a 60 plus year old asking him about one of their players? |
Should have told him that he is doing terribly here and to sell him now, before he gets any worse. | | | |

Ah, I don't think I stated that clearly. It was a reference to the 3m in the post I was replying to. Agree that we can't spend everything we might get from Eze, but a chunk of it yes, regardless of his position. |  | | |

That long throw should knock a million off the price easily. | | | |

Might just be me, but I can't see Eze being bought by any of the so-called bigger clubs. There are at least four of his teammates at Palace who I suspect will be coveted a lot more than Eze by such clubs: Guehi, Mateta, Wharton and Munoz. Even the goalkeeper, Henderson.
Ismaila Sarr has had a better season in terms of goals scored in the premier league.
Eze has got this club circa £20m already, the most received for any departing player from QPR. Were we to receive a further windfall, I wouldn't entrust our worldly-wise Director of Football in spending it wisely. [Post edited 22 Apr 8:47]

I think he'll go this summer, likes of Spurs, Man Utd going to need a refresh and him being English helps with the squad rules and I think for Palace this is the right time to sell him |  | | |

Suspect Palace indeed would like to move him this summer, but equally suspect if he moves it will be for a lot less than the numbers Palace have floated. | | | |
