Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
Obviously not sure of the deal or contract but what's better than a proven 20 plus championship goalscorer for an automatic Premier league return ?

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
Depends tbh.
They need proven goal scorers in this league, which he is now.
He's contracted until 2025
The going rate for goalscorers from this league is £20 million plus
Saints are good at getting silly money for their players.
We may not be the only ones interested in him.
We don't know if there was an option to buy included in the loan deal.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
This thread on the Saints forum has been discussing this lately:
https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/59620 ... la/page/6/
Seems most of their fans think they should be asking for 20-25m and hold all the cards because he's their player/got 2 years left on his contract.
I personally can't see Burnley paying more than 15m and even that is a stretch.
I'm sure Nathan himself will be desperate to join us in the summer so you wonder how much that plays its part.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
All the signs say Tella wants to be here. If that is the case that’s what’ll happen.
It’ll just be a case of arranging a deal that works for all parties.

I can’t imagine there was an option to buy included with the loan given Southampton had the option to recall him for a period in January

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
The signs like his total immersion in the group. The signs like the look on his face when he plays - the look on his face when he scores. He just looks and behaves like he loves it here. Surely you can see that?

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
He's obviously buzzing he's playing well & who wouldn't be happy being part of a title winning team clinching promotion but I'm questioning is that enough to signify him wanting it enough with all the other factors that come into play. It's bias that we want to believe that's enough.
Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
No doubt Tella wants to be here next season and playing in the Premier League rather than in the Championship with Southampton. I'm pretty sure VK will want to sign him permanemtly and there's no guarantee he'll produce the goods back at Southampton in a different style of team with a different coach, especially if he's not entirely happy there.
I'm sure there's a deal to be done but it all depends if Southampton will sell for a realistic price and what other Premier League clubs are after him, only time will tell.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
You only have to look at his hat trick against Blackburn and his three fingered salute to see that he understands our club and how much he has enjoyed his time here. Every time I see him play for us he gives 100% and is absolutely buzzing, anyone who can't see this and thinks he doesn't want to be here is blind.

Southampton hold all the power and if anything he’s someone they are more than likely planning to build around for next season in the championship.
They also have plenty of sellable assets so it’s not like they will even be desperate for the money.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
I wonder if Ashley Barnes would like a Championship swansong back on the south coast?!
Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
In theory Tella is Southampton's player and under contract so Southampton can make him go and play for them. In practice, if you insist that a player plays on a reserve/youth team wage in the Championship when he has an offer to play for a first team wage in the Premier League, it doesn't normally end well.
I'm more worried about other PL teams wanting him. If other PL teams will pay more to Southampton and Tella is given the choice of say Brentford or stop at Southampton, he'd probably go to Brentford rather than push to an extreme degree for Burnley.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
From his club interview put out the other week, it sounds like he and his family are very settled up here, they even said his mother in law had moved up
Wouldn’t be surprised if Duff has had words with him about joining him at Barnsley
Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
Their relegation will make it a lot harder IMO.
If they go down they'll sell the likes of Ward-Prowse, Lavia, Bella-Kotchup etc. for fees that will easily match/exceed what we brought in last summer so financially they'll be really secure and will only have to sell players like Tella if the money is too good to turn down.
If Tella kicks up a fuss it may bring the price down a little but ultimately Southampton hold all the cards. The only other hope we'd have is if they don't get big enough offers for the aforementioned players like JWP early doors and they have cash flow problems in that short term.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
What the player wants holds a lot of sway. What’s the point in Saints pricing out a player who wants to move and play Premier League football? There’s usually one winner in that and it’s not the club. I think we’ve also shown a bit more ruthlessness in the past re transfers and we certainly won’t be throwing whatever money Saints ask for at it.
Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
Maths not a strong suit for Saints fans apparently. They all seem to think 2025 is 3 - 4 years away from reading that.RVclaret wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 11:25 amThis thread on the Saints forum has been discussing this lately:

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
I am sure that Kompany will want Tella provided the price is right.
Until relatively recently (January-ish) I wasn't convinced he'd be that high up our priority list for January. But his maturity as a goalscorer and a team player since then has altered my thinking if I'm honest. He's got a combination of finishing ability, outright pace, movement across the line, and workmate that will be very hard to replace next season. Take 20 goals out of any team and it presents a huge challenge even before you consider the step up.
But the price has to be sensible, and we've seen before that ironically, eye catching performances at Championship level can be disproportionately valuable when compared to proven performances at PL level below the elite level. McNeil went for 20m last summer with a far more impressive body of Premier League work behind him. By comparison Gibbs White went to Forest for fortunes because he'd excelled in the Championship and that had attracted more excitement than doing "fine" in the Premier League. That may well be our challenge with Tella this summer.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
Yep but other than that “what signs” ?
Please god give me just one tiny little sign !!
Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
I’m also not convinced Kompany or importantly Pace will mind being priced out of a player with ‘English tax’ on his head.
I like Tella, he’s been a brilliant player for the club, and has endeared himself to the fans but I think we can now see that sentiment is behind business sense in the management of the club.
Love to have him, but only at the right price and if it fits in with the long term objectives of VK and AP.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
Quite a few factors come in to play here but one of the main ones is what Tella wants. I can well imagine he is keen to have a crack at the prem with us and VK following his breakthrough season. Saints will no doubt want him for the Championship, but he may well look at that and say no thank you.
Saints can and no doubt will ask for £20-25 million quid as is their right to do so, but I think that may well turn interested clubs away including ourselves. At which point, is the player happy to stay there for another year at Championship level or does he force a move? Keeping unhappy players simply doesn’t work, so a compromise would then need to be made unless someone came in and offered asking price.
Personally, as much as I rate the lad, he’s still relatively untested at prem level and he’s only had one good season at a lower level. Therefore, I don’t think we will be able or willing to spend more than £15-20 million at the very most. Interested to know what others would be willing to spend on Tella?

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
To be fair swizzlestick that is usually because the player is a key member of the squad (on significant wages).

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
You don’t think he’ll be a key player for them in the Championship after what he’s done this season? An unhappy player is helpful to nobody, especially if it starts spreading to the rest of the squad. And, while this is idle speculation just to keep certain posters happy, he’s not going to be happy at missing out on a PL chance.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 1:50 pmTo be fair swizzlestick that is usually because the player is a key member of the squad (on significant wages).

I don’t get the impression Tella will kick up a fuss if Southampton keep him regardless. But whatever way you look at it Tella is clearly not a key player for them (at the moment) so the player power with him is considerably lower than if JWP or Lavia were pushing for a move.Swizzlestick wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 1:55 pmYou don’t think he’ll be a key player for them in the Championship after what he’s done this season?

We are in a very unfortunate position that they will not need the cash so it will take a big bid to get him. I just can’t see them letting him go for anything less than 20m (perhaps even 25m).

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
I would love Tella to sign, a brilliant player for us.
Anything above £15m though and I think that price doesn't fit in with our business plan of buying, improving and selling.
Tella won't be as successful in the PL as the Championship so the margin to improve is lessened.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
No championship club would turn down £10m for someone they don't see as a key player, just so they can watch his value go down. If they turn down more than that it can only because he has signed a new, PL-standard contract.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 2:00 pmI don’t get the impression Tella will kick up a fuss if Southampton keep him regardless.

He wasn't a key player for them in the past, but he could be if he stayed on - which is unlikely if and when a PL club comes calling. Tella might have less push than Ward-Prowse, but then the club has less reason to push back against him. Keeping him on under his present contract is unlikely to work out IMO.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
and if we've been exploring a deal then it's reasonable to assume that Southampton asked for 20-25m as is the sentiment on here, to which, and in keeping with our business model, we have said no thanks. I'd love the guy here, but Pace has his model, and my take on Kompany is that he doesn't hold sentiment too highly on a professional levelclaretspice wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 1:36 pmIf you have any specific knowledge then you do - i claim none.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
Good point, I just see tella as a unique situation where he’s currently not key and doesn’t have enough power to push for a move. But I also see him as a player Southampton will want to keep to help with their promotion push.dsr wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 2:14 pmNo championship club would turn down £10m for someone they don't see as a key player, just so they can watch his value go down.

They really don’t, certain players hold a lot of power but not all.buzzclarets79 wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 6:11 pmTella turns around and says I want out, I want a transfer, I don’t want to play here (Saints)
I think the players have all the power. A contract just means the teams need to discuss what it’ll take to get the deal done.
To answer the original OP Southampton being relegated will make this transfer a hell of a lot more difficult.

You could say that as an understatement, they've seen what he's done here & they'll be thinking right we want some of that.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 6:22 pmThey really don’t, certain players hold a lot of power but not all.

Re: Will Southampton getting relegated make it more difficult to sign Tella ?
They might think that but if the player doesn’t want to be there do you think he’ll play his heart out…. I’m sorry but once a player comes out and says that’s it I want to be somewhere else it happens as a rule. Why would any club keep a player that simply doesn’t want to be there.Jakubclaret wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 6:24 pmYou could say that as an understatement, they've seen what he's done here & they'll be thinking right we want some of that.
Some will also depend on Southampton’s financial position, no doubt they’ll be experts on here that will know what that’ll be, but they may need cash.
