"Les, you are Southampton's technical director.
You are responsible for a large part of the Saints' transfer operations.
I would like to ask you a few questions on behalf of the fans right now, okay?"
Charlene Lahiri asked with a smile in front of the camera.
“Of course,” special guest Les Reed, in a crisp suit, nodded.
“What are Southampton’s transfer plans this summer?”
"Our transfer plan has always been clear.
Whether it is the fans, management, or coaching staff, they are all very satisfied with our current lineup.
We have a group of very outstanding high-level stars, and we have gathered a group of very outstanding young people.
Rookie."
"This season, Pogba and Kovacic have gradually taken on the important tasks in the midfield.
Harry Kane is the top scorer in the Premier League.
Martial's performance is also quite amazing.
Ravel Morrison, Sturi Qi and other players are awesome as always.”
"So, we are quite satisfied with the current lineup and will not make too many adjustments."
"Really?"
host Charlene Lahiri looked very skeptical.
"However, we know that there are many problems in the defense.
Even now, many people say that the key to the Champions League final between Southampton and Bayern Munich lies in the Saints' defense. , what do you think?”
Les Reed nodded, "This statement is normal.
Real Madrid's defense is not good, and Barcelona's defense also has problems.
Is Bayern Munich's defense okay?
Our current defense of the team and this group of defensive players , very satisfied.”
"Varane's performance this season has proven that he is a world-class central defender, and he is still very young and still improving.
Although Nastasic and Laporte made many mistakes, their performances were also good.
It’s worth looking forward to, so we don’t think there will be any problems with the team’s defense.”
"So what you're saying is that there will be no signings for the defense this year."
"No, no, no, I didn't say that."
Les Reed immediately shook his head.
"I mean, our signings are not because of the unsatisfactory performance of the players, but just to strengthen the team's lineup."
Charlene Lahiri laughed, "I received news that Southampton plans to recall the local teenager Stones who is on loan at Everton.
I don't know if this news is true."
"Well" Les Reed nodded, "This is indeed one of the options we are considering."
"Okay, let's move on to the next question."
Charlene Lahiri smiled slyly.
She seemed to have seen the excitement of the fans watching the video.
Stones, the most outstanding local central defender in the Premier League this season, once made Chelsea pursue him all summer but failed.
It was Charlene Lahiri and her sidelines who were the first to reveal the truth.
It turns out that Stones was on loan at Everton from Southampton.
At that time, this incident still caused huge repercussions in British football.
Everyone was shocked and understood why Chelsea could not buy Stones.
Now, Charlene Lahiri's question clearly gave Les Reid a hint that the Saints will recall Stones to strengthen the defense.
This will undoubtedly be a great joy for Saints fans.
"A fan asked me to ask you, Les, what do you think of Messi?"
"Messi" Les Reed was a little surprised, "He's a great star."

Charlene Lahiri chuckled, "Les, you are obviously not willing to talk about this issue."
Les Reed was a little embarrassed, but didn't give an answer.
"Can you tell me if the Saints have ever thought about bringing in Messi?"
"Well, I haven't received any news about this at the moment."
Charlene Lahiri smiled, "But as far as I know, your scouting team had contact with Messi's team.
The place was right after Barcelona defeated Elba 2-0 away from home.
Messi scored at that time.
Two balls, you seem to be testing his physical condition."
"No, there is absolutely no such thing" "Not really," Charlene Lahiri said, her voice rising.
"No," Les Reed denied again.
But his tone always gave people a very guilty feeling, a bit trying to hide it.
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it.
Then let me ask you again.
As far as I know, Messi's father has been to Southampton before and has already planned to find a house in Southampton.
Do you know?"
"I don't know" Les Reed shook his head.
"Oh, no, I mean, I only found out after reading the news in the newspaper, and Messi himself denied that anyone helped him find a house in Southampton, so I don't think there is anything to say about it."
"Okay, but Messi has personally mentioned that if he leaves Barcelona, the team he most hopes to join is Southampton, and I can prove that your people have had contact with Messi, and Messi's family has also I’m looking for a house in Southampton, but you tell me it’s okay, how can I believe that?”
"I" Les Reed was a bit speechless, "I don't really believe it myself."
Charlene Lahiri laughed, "Then you mean to admit that Southampton wants to buy Messi?"
"Yes, I want to buy it, but can we afford it?"
Lesrid shook his head and said, "The media also said that Barcelona's offer is 250 million euros, we" "No, no, no, Les, that's liquidated damages.
In fact, the Spanish media has disclosed that as long as any team comes up with a sincere offer, Barcelona will consider letting it go.
Their psychological price should be at About 200 million euros.”
"Yes, 200 million euros.
Oh my god, do you think we can get this money?
Also, how much is Messi's salary?
20 million euros, including the British tax rate, we have to bear 40 million euros."
After calculating the cost in euros, do you think we can afford it?"
After careful calculation, it seems that I really can’t afford it.
But who is Charlene Lahiri?
"I have received news that, Les, Nike, the Saints' jersey sponsor, will pay part of the transfer fee for the Saints and at the same time increase the sponsorship amount.
The Saints will become the team with the highest jersey sponsorship fees in the world."
Les Reed gave that look of surprise that you knew even this.
"In addition, I also received news that Qatar Airways is also willing to bear part of the transfer fee and increase the amount of sponsorship.
It is expected that the two major sponsors will share the transfer fee of about 100 million euros for the Saints, plus other sponsors.
As well as partners in Glory Square, Southampton will raise approximately €150 million.”
Having said this, Charlene Lahiri smiled slightly and said with great certainty: "In other words, if the Saints really plan to bring in Messi, 150 million euros of funds will come to their doorstep, and the Saints You just have to bear the rest."
Les Reed shook his head, "Charlene, I don't know where your news came from, but do you think this is possible?"
"Possible, absolutely possible" Les Reed showed a very depressed expression, "You are so sure, I am speechless."
When the whole of Europe is speculating on whether Messi will leave Barcelona and which team he is most likely to switch to if he does leave Barcelona, the famous Youtu Turtle football self-media program launched a new program off the court.
This is normal because off-site is a weekly issue.
What is unusual is that the special guest of this episode is Les Reid, the technical director from Southampton.
It would be interesting to invite Southampton's technical director at such a sensitive time.
Even before the recording of the program, Outside the Stadium called on all fans and users on their WeChat public platform to express their opinions and ask various questions to Les Reed.

Adhering to her consistent attitude off the court, Charlene Lahiri did not disappoint.
In the second half of the show, she also fired a series of questions on behalf of the fans.
Especially in the final stage, Les Reed was speechless when asked about Messi's transfer.
It also made all the viewers and fans who watched the video excited.
Isn't this a naked revelation of the truth?
"It seems like Messi, the Saints really want to buy Messi."
"Oh my god, the Saints' lineup is already strong enough, and they have to buy another Messi."
"This is simply a rhythm that goes against the sky.
From now on, the Premier League will enter the Saints' dynasty."
"Who says otherwise?
Look at Les Reed's appearance.
He must know the inside story, but he can't say it.
Being asked so hard is indeed enough to embarrass him."
"Yes, but the Saints' lineup is too outrageous and luxurious."
"I cried when I saw this video.
My poor Arsenal, why are you so unlucky?"
"Hey, upstairs, we're talking about the Saints, what does it have to do with Arsenal?"
"That's right, don't cry for no reason.
You, Mr.
Wenger, are fine."
"You don't know, I am a die-hard Gunners fan.
When I see the Saints today, and then think about our Gunners, we are also building a stadium.
You keep building it, from the English League One to the Premier League, to the Champions League, and by the way...
Three Premier League titles and one Champions League title.”
"It's the same as building a stadium.
You have built a huge star lineup, and now you have to hook up with Messi.
But we are building and building, and we have transformed ourselves from a wealthy team into a hanging thread."
"Well, it seems really sad to hear this poor gunman say this."
"Isn't that right?
When it comes to Arsenal and our Saints, I think the biggest difference is that we have Master Huan."
"That's right, our Master Huan is awesome.
His operational ability is outstanding.
If nothing else, just this lineup, there are several teams in Europe that can put it together."
"It's not like I keep telling people now that with this lineup of the Saints, if you throw in any substitute, you will have the ability of Master Huan worth tens of millions.
It's hard for people to accept."
"Who says it's not the case?
Let me tell you, our great saint is where we are today, all thanks to Master Huan."
"Yes, thanks to Master Huan, we have such a good life."
"Hey, our Saints are no better than before.
We want to defend the Champions League."
"You're not comparing Arsenal to us, no."
"Wow, we actually have the day to defeat Arsenal.
It's fun, it's fun."
"Long live Master Huan" "Support buying Messi, we want to be a super rich club" "With Messi, plus Hazard, Suarez, Fabregas and Di Maria, our team is full of superstars.
Looking around the world, which team can be as luxurious as ours?"

"Like a star" "What's more important is that our combat effectiveness is off the charts.
Even if we are invincible in the Premier League, we have even reached the Champions League."
"Think about how all the rich people in the Premier League are supported by us.
Tell me, how sad it is."
"What does the Premier League mean?
Our goal is Europe, the sea of stars."
"Yes, let those Galactic Battleships, Green Hollywood, Dream Team, etc. stay under our feet.
We just want to step on the corpses of these traditional giants to achieve unprecedented hegemony
