Without prying into your finances, will the tickets ever be too expensive for you? £650+ for a season ticket is getting silly

spot on. £18m (rising to £24m - wonder how and when that kicks in) can't all be written off, even if he is costing them, say £100k a week, to warm the bench. Can't see us signing him, but one or two have pointed to a striker than could give Gaston a target. Was our DoF at Charlton when he played for them?

seem unfair that Chelsea can buy lots of great players from abroad and then loan them to other clubs in the same league who can help take points off their rivals.

so he did. Both were kind of out of necessity due to injuries. I was thinking more along the lines of season long loans which we didn't do in the Championship season. A mate of mine, terribly unreliable, suggested we were in for two loans.

47 goals in the last 97 league appearances for Espanyol and Roma is pretty impressive. Roma signed him for 17.5m euros in 2011. Are they now hard up?

any chance that we might consider loans now that Adkins has left?

Is it possible to renew ST and then move to a cheaper part of the ground and get a rebate?

what was the decision on the cup final thing? Got a mate who shares his Spurs season ticket and he claims the cup final if it happens based on the fact he's had the season ticket the longest.

Blackstock in nets. No he came through notts county. Blaney?

he was good in that game, Fulham away as well. He grabbed that game by the scruff of the neck and was a threat. What struck me in both games was his ability to control the ball dead in horrific conditions. With the likes of Lallana and Lambert we have been spoilt a little in terms of players with fantastic first touches, but this guy's touch is even better. All he has to do is start picking the right pass a little more often in the final third, cut out the nutmegs on the half way line and be right on it in every game.

His lack of stamina is a concern. Perhaps he needs to pace himself a little better as he is moving all the time and that's what makes him such a good player for us. He;s doing too much in the first 20 minutes possibly. Our dead ball stuff is terrible full stop. We've been crap since Chamberlain left. Buy him back for his corners alone. I don't want to see Lallana taking them ever. I also want to see a return of having at least one or two of our smaller players on the half way line.

I'm a huge fan, but I'm sorry to say you hit the nail on the head with that comment. Hopefully he'll get it right next season. I think he will. As much as I appreciate what Davis has done this season, I don't want to see him at the head of the diamond next season as often as this.

I can't remember the Newcastle game for some reason, but I think you need to add Everton to your short list. He was absolutely amazing until he got injured.

he was bloody great for Brum. Not sure he's been scoring too many in the last couple of seasons though.

Would Wanyama leave Celtic for us? Without going into the whole Scottish football, Celtic bigger than Saints thing, wouldn't he want Champions league football or as close to it as possible? I've only seen him twice (in the CL) and he looked Celtic's stand out player in both games.

I thought he looked the better striker when we last played Burnley. He was a handful despite the service to him being terrible. I think he'd score goals at any level. Much prefer him to Sharp. Doesn't feel like a signing we will make though. I just can't see us buying championship players. Under Adkins maybe, but I would have thought we'd try to use MP's inside knowledge of Spanish football while we can to try and get another Michu gem.

No one said long ball football wasn't effective, to a point.

ignoring the red and white quarters and then halves kits between 1889-1896

Enjoyed the season, but I don't see any reason for a rise. I intend to moan a lot if there is one. I wonder if my seat will magic itself closer (reclassify) to the centre again, like it did last summer, to give them an opportunity to put the price up even further. Out of interest did any non season ticket holders have any problems getting home or away tickets (and I don't mean because you left it too late)

the right players on the right wages more important than getting them in early.

does that include wages?

Not particulary impressed at Cortese intentionally putting this into the public domain for whatever reason. I thought he had a strict policy of keeping company business private (which was a good one IMO)? Don't understand the timing either. Why not do it next week? I thought it was only dark forces that unsettled the club? If we lose the £5m game tomorrow will anyone ask if this stuff gave the players the perfect excused to take their eyes off the ball?

I am glad things have been resolved, but not particulary impressed at how Cortese appears to have intentionally put this into the public domain.

When exactly can Shaw sign his contract?

will we be as excited as when Lee `Robben' Holmes signed?
