Hasn't done much since leaving Saints, a decent stint at Northampton followed by a couple of months at Burnley as care taker before Eddie Howe arrived.

Not forgetting there should be easy transportation for the expected 55k+ fans.

I think we'll be able to keep the youngsters for a bit longer mainly due to the fact that the environmental aspects (training, supporting facilities etc) will be top notch, offer them first team football and there would be a togetherness from group of players that have grown up with each other. I'm not sure about the coaching side, but would have thought that could be improved when the club go into the premier league. As for the 4-3-3 Barca way - tactical I understand they are going to tinker with it. I'm not sure what Adkins will try to do, but 4-4-2 is still standard in England.

Umm, we went into last season with four CB's so I don't get your point there. Also, if it's a fifth CB to play cover when Fonte or Jaidi aren't available, I cannot see many experienced players wanting to come for that plus I think it's not how Saints are recruiting, as the signing of Jack Cork has shown.

That's what Martin has got and has shown. I'd be surprised if another CB comes in but if that's the case then Seaborne's days are numbered.

You would have had more credibility if you left out the Pearce bit! I don't know if you saw the England games but the midfield was truly awful and if you were a Liverpool fan like Mike Wilde you'd worry that £16m spent on Henderson was £15m over the odds and Manciene should have never been considered in the DM role. I agree on the hyping though, it's a step forward in building a decent squad that will blossom together, just the odd addition and loss each season will suffice especially when the academy starts in full flow. Also, there seems to be much more to Jack Cork than a good ambitious player, he seems a decent and intelligent bloke too.

He died, 10th August... GRHS

From my legal dictionary, Servicing: to provide services for: as a : to meet interest and sinking fund payments on (debt) service a large loan b : to collect payments and maintain a payment schedule for (a loan). Also remember, this is the THIRD version of the CVA so all that's happened is a change to the payment schedule from one version to another.

I liked this one...

...and it's incredibly entertaining and funny! Let us not forget he can also understand the the club's accounts.

That'll be his dopplerganger Ainsley Harriot.

I had a giant hand pointing at me all day yesterday, I knew I should have bought a ticket!

That is one hilarious story! Big Clue: Try looking at the list of creditors.

Buy Deppo's freedom so he could come back.

Yes, contractors. My brother used to service the police radios but was not in the police force. I expect it's the same thing (and no he didn't steal them). How far back does the list of missing items go?

You do realise that the current CVA is the third version, because of payment changes and delays. So how do you feel that money can be spent on players, and fairly decent ones at that (Kitson, Lawrence) in favour of servicing the CVA? What with the financial fair play to come in the championship probably next season, the CVA to be serviced and the loss of the parachute payments in two years time, the club is storing up a heap load of trouble.

Luke Shaw is another to watch out for, probably not this season but as he's come on leaps and bounds recently, you never know when they'll get into the first team.

Appearances last term (League, FAC, LC, JPT): Fonte.... 43, 2, 2, 1 Jaidi...... 31, 2, 0, 1 Martin..... 4 (4), 1, 1, 0 Seaborne 14 (10), 3, 1, 0 I would expect and hope Martin to figure more next season. All part of building the experience in the squad as a squad.

Football Manger has got a lot to answer for.

...and let's not forget they are not even servicing the CVA.

Indeed, someone that can pick a player to fit into his type of football. CMS may do well for Brighton due to their style, rather than relying on his speed and striking ability alone as he did for Posh.

As Jaidi signed for another year, NA expects him to play. Seaborne maybe the weak link but until NA decides to sell/loan/not use him then there is no point on a fifth CB. Money is best spent elsewhere while Martin and Seaborne get some game time for their development and assessment.

Nice to see things have improved since I was last there.
