he would because ABK just throws himself to the ground for no reason. Very strange act and he'd of looked very stupid is the ball had been squared.

might have been a mis kick/scuff, but still thought he should still save that.

I've always thought that many players peak at 25 not 30. Going younger is the way. We have no choice really if we want that quality. The average age of the squad must be pretty low, not Ajax CL semifinal low, but pretty low. I really hope Edozie and Larios can step up quickly. Getting all those City lads in the side could help build a tremendous team spirit and momentum perhaps.

he was linked with them all summer. must have been a real come down to only have us after him. You might be right. If his heart is not in it, better he doesn't join.

bit harsh. How has he held us back? It's not like his fee and wage have prevented us signing half a dozen other attacking midfielders wingers since to replace him, but sadly until now, they've all be pretty shite too. OK, he hasn't been good in a lot of games over the years, but as someone on here said a few weeks ago, maybe more of us fans, me included, just need to support the whole team, good and bad. He's a saint, not a fucking skate cunt.

what windows are open? Please say Brazil. A Brazilian striker at the 13th hour... Or do you mean windows open to sell Redmond and Theo? Cant see them going to Turkey either.

yep. Nice saving on wages, but it felt like a clean break was needed by both parties and the transfer fee would be very handy before next summer when we will no doubt need to balance the books a little.

if we terminate now, or in other words pay up their contract, a day after the window has closed, they can't fid a new club until the next transfer widow. If we had terminated yesterday they could now look for another club in their own time. Redmond can still bring something to the party this season. OK, so he is down the pecking order, but injuries can change things, especially as the bench is big these days.

You really hope so, but we'll see.

I think that too. £16m on two youth team players is some investment. We haven't splurged the cash like that since Best and Blackstock

Got to say that I am excited about CC. Hopefully he can live up to his youtube video and be a monster, dominating forwards. I am perhaps hoping for too much, but if he can win some headers he'll be an improvement on Valery at least.

we had to terminate his contract (and pay him a chunk of cash) for him to agree a deal with them after the windows closes as a free agent. Not sure we did that. I guess they could just agree to pay all his wages and a signing on fee to cover the loyalty bonus he was probably losing. Not sure they wanted to do that.

he'll get another job soon enough. Everyone, including himself, thinks he's gods gift to management.

he certainly needs to improve. Shit on the villa. Shit on the villa tonight...

no. However, if you want someone to simply repeat what the more eloquent commentator just said, he's your man.

Bednarek deal done...so they say.

sounds like we were required to pay him a big chunk of cash, but we said no.

does this forum still have the functionality to show who has posted how many times on each thread?

Excellent. Glad the management is not blind to what most Saints fans see - he can't play right back and cant play CB at this level.

even if they didn't, £6m will now be the fee whenever we have discussions about him.

for a second there I thought we were being linked with Ronaldo. I assume he is still after a CL club?

Fucking stealing a living.

if anyone knows how to spend someone else's money without a single thought as to where it has come from or how it will be paid back, it's that cunt.

can you update me on the Sar situation? Is he coming to Saints, West Ham or anyone else for that matter?

That's encouraging. They don't look ready to me from the youtube videos.
