Can't believe the Dell-sized minds on display. It's like Guy Askham is still in charge. We'd make the semis easily. Prob nick the trophy on pens when Kelvin the irreplacable saves all five Spanish attempts.

I've read that four times and don't understand it. You were questioning why RG would want to leave WHU and its been pointed out that he just does. He does. The rest of your argument I don't think anyone can follow, not least you. But then elsewhere you are still making out we haven't even made an offer for J Rod, even though we obviously have. I think you need a holiday!

So despite all these keepers retiring none of those England managers got anywhere near to picking Kelvin. And Capello has won the Champions league but obviously knows nothing about football or goalies.

Something about swipe cards, or Saints branded credit card (don't we have one? - we used to). Or the launch of an exciting new official saints top trumps game. Or even a new picture of a digger outside something that looks like it might be staplewood. Highly unlikely to be anything remotely interesting, although it will probably make MLG spill his love milk over three sets of undergarments by lunchtime.

Up there with Pep IMO.

I read it as he doesn't really want to go (then). Could easily still happen.

Well not neccessarily. He could turn us down flat to force Burnley's hand to lower their asking price to open up the field. Player power. And if he absolutely didn't want to come to us he could say so without it affecting his negotiating position with other clubs. Mainly because other clubs will offer much the same as we would. I think we can say he is at least considering us. Which is a start.

Okay, here are my answers. 1) The th

A footballer saying he "would not be surprised" is basically saying he doesn't know. And he doesn't. And you don't.

I don't need to outdo you. You're a fu c king nutjob.

Birmingham got to the Europa league and got relegated you absolute spastic.

He says clubs in the Premier League fighting for european spots, not football clubs only fighting for European places that are only achievable through league placings. So all that shi te about you can only get to Europe by fighting for fifth, which actually means fighting for fourth, is bo llock s. Clubs in the premier league fighting for european spot can do so by finishing twelve, or eighth, or fifteeth or even in the relegation spots. It's called getting to the FA cup final or winning the League Cup. See. Pedantic arse aching tedium streched to breaking point to make a pointless point on a webforum. Guess what, it's not just you that can do it.

Still think this could go either way. He's had plenty of time to turn us down flat, so that's probably good. It means we must be in right ball park wages-wise. Adkins/Cortese probably banking on selling the club and our prospects. I guess they want to get him in the building and give him the vision speech. Or its all one big stalling operation.

Man U and Man City would both loan him out. It's not like he'd just be scrubbing boots. And highly likely he could end up loaned to a prem team as part of that development. And players are optimists. If Man U want him Butland isn't going to think "well they don't really want me, I'll just be back up forever". He would sign with the expectation to be United's number one in time.

Not logic. Just wishful thinking. Man City and Man United will close us down and stop us playing far more effectively than, say, Blackpool. Blackpool, funnily enough, "play football like us" and we, errr, struggled like hell against them. Funny that.

This kind of thing is said a lot but it's just bo llocks isn't it. Why will Everton or Man City let us tap it around all day? Why are the likes of Crystal Palace and Leicester more adept at stopping us playing than Stoke or Newcastle?

Absolutely we can. Brace yourself to being called negative and posessing a 'Dell-sized brain' and being stuck with an Askham mindset. Unfortunately, that's the view of our self proclaimed "intelligent posters/voices of reason". It's a funny old forum though.

No. Who is saying it is? Funny how both clubs managed this feat without 50,000 gates. Almost like it isn't that neccessary.

If he'd agreed a contract with Swansea he'd be a Swansea player. He hasn't. He isn't. He looks like joining a big club just as TDD said he would. How you divs can still say TDD is wrong just beggars belief. But then thats the standard of debate on this forum I guess.

You do realise that every single human being connected with professional football in this country for the last forty years has been described as having an "anti-Saints agenda" at least once by at least one dinlow on this forum. Alan Nixon, whoever he is, does not have an "anti-saints agenda". Why on earth would he?

Not entirely sure what you are getting at. My point is there is clearly lots of interest in him. If all his potential suitors (including us) all plan to loan him to a lower league club then from Butland's point of view he might as well join Liverpool/Man U/Chelsea. He's getting loaned whatever so do it as a Man U player. The only way we can get him to SMS would be to tell him we plan to use him in our first team this season. That's the only thing that would swing it for us. And anyway, what might happen is he joins a top six club and they loan him to us.

Butland would only come to us with the expectation to be first choice by end of season, probably by about November. If he's just going to get loaned out he might as well join Man United.

Shut it you freak.

Oh well. Just me and the England team manager then. Picking Kelvin Davies for England would have been a completely pointless and laughable exersize.

Yes.
