Signing 32 year old Jermaine Defoe for four years is the kind of thing clubs "seriously competing for a 4th place spot" do, is it?

Comedy gold. Well done.

What part of four year contract don't you understand? They've tied up fifteen million quid in Jermaine Defoe.

Fair play to Dalek - the same comedy act for years on end - literally years and years - and people still thinks he actually thinks that stuff. What hilarious routine do you think he's got planned for next summer and next season? Can anyone possibly guess?

What about him? Sunderland have given him a four year contract.

Dreams and ambition is all you need.

Read the thread son. My work is done.

Solid Delldays gold.

Dalek's comedy troll routine reels in another couple of idiots, then. Oh his routine am so funny.

Just LOL.

Waaaaaaaaah.

I think they've got a black box and a room of experts to answer those questions.

Don't ruin a perfectly valid line of argument with Darren Bent.

Touche indeed.

If Chelsea win today, 6th will mean Europe. If Saints finishing 6th is frustrating for you then you might need a little bit of perspective. Over the next twenty years we are unlikely to do much better (much like we haven't in the previous twenty). We're not going to be the next Manchester City. You do get that, right?

I think you have to deal with the fact the manager played strong teams in the cups and wanted to win those cups. Hes the boss and he was right. Deal with that. We played in every single available cup tie (including an FA Cup replay) to the middle of January and still got to third. Our collapse has coincided with not playing anywhere near the maximum amount of games with no FA Cup 4th round replay, no 5th round/replay, no LC Semi or final. Fewer games, worse results. Deal with that. We had two wonderful weeks off of rest and still got dic ked at home by Liverpool who had played two matches in the intervening time. Deal with that. As long as Ronald is manager next season well be having a go in the comps we're in, hopefully the Europa League. Boo hoo hoo lots of horrid football matches to play. Deal with that.

I knew what that guy was getting at back then.

I am getting used to us finishing 6th now for no other reason but to prove this idiot from August wrong.

Hmm. Not really. Clyne is more than likely gone. So you either want woe is me/we're all doomed defeatism (over a right back) or a level of expectation that we can sign another right back of a decent standard. After all, we signed a N. Clyne from Palace only a couple of years ago for only two million quid.

Not sure I'm seeing anyone saying that to be honest, let alone the majority. Clyne, if he is wanted by one or two of the big boys, is highly likely to go. We then need to regroup and build again. Can we find another right back to keep us competitive in the top half of the Premier League? Don't see why not. It's not "that easy", but it is also not beyond us. Nothings guaranteed of course. To that end also possible that someone spends 20 million on Nathaniel and he can't cope and he goes to dogs hit. What will be will be.

Should have a stand named after him IMO.

You've not bothered to pay attention to anything Ralph, Les or Ronald have said on this matter? Worth a read, and then worth getting over it.

Didn't realise ge was that old. Definitely a non starter then.

Why would a very well regarded young player move from Everton to us? Highly unlikely. If he's for sale, it won't be to us.

It's a good headline but not really what he said (lazy scumbag etc)
