Well no - we could feasibly match the 'big bid' - if we paid 12m for Shane Long then we can go in big for a player like Toby (who realistically, nobody is going to pay more than 15-20m for). If we do that then he would have to go back on what he has said. Why can't some people just accept promising news for what it is? Saints fans = eternal pessimists.

Caught by the grammar police. Prat.

I think its great we are doing team bonding stuff, but given our recent record with injuries could we have picked too more dangerous activities then ice hockey and skiing?!

Spurs 1 up already. They're going to be tough to stop.

How the hell to Yoshi miss that?

God this is woeful. Never going to score.

Not the team I wanted or expected....

Exactly. Clyne and Spider don't care anymore.

Season over. Pelle awful. Our big time Charlie's don't care any more. They know they are playing champs league next year anyway. I'd rather not be in the Uefa to be honest will probably result in us going down next year.

Until he signs somewhere else I still have hope. He'd only be a squad player at City and he didn't enjoy that at Atletico. If we finish in the CL places we'll sign him IMO.

Exactly this. You can't sell two establish Netherlands internationals for peanuts and then ask the earth for a substitute. If De Vrij and Indi went for 7.5 m then even 3.5 m is probably over the odds for Vilhena.

Absolutely outrageous decision in my book. We have our best ever chance of Champions League, we have an injury crisis and we're selling one of our better squad/cover players. It's absolutely mad and could well come back to haunt us. We need all the quality cover we can get.

3-5-2 with Bertrand at left sided center back. Good game to try this in case we ever need it.

This was the moment I turned the Sky commentary off. I like Neville, but boy is he biased, Pelle had both arms by his sides and they said that both players were shirt pulling...utter nonsense.

With endless financial problems....

Agree with this. Yes, his goals have dried up a tad but he came in and hit the ground running and scored some pretty important goals. I genuinely believe he is the one outfield player that we couldn't cope without.

If you were at the Emirates and saw him acting like a complete ***** when Toby was on the ground with a hamstring injury then you'd have booed him. He has, to my mind, turned into a total moaner on the field since he left us - hardly surprising given his playing company at Arsenal.

Jason Euell, Marek Saganowski, Rasiak, Darren Powell - there have been loads, most of them in our wilderness years.

Really? It looked distinctly like he made a tackle he had to in order to prevent a break away goal and took one for the team. No chance he did it deliberately.

Brilliant today and vs Palace. It's like watching a different player when he's playing through the middle. Long may it continue.

No way that we will sell him to one of our rivals in January. Even Saints aren't that stupid.

Except for the fact its quite clearly his knee....

I wouldn't say there is any evidence he is a 'doubt for Sunday' - its just a cut on his knee!

Clearly 3-5-2 again.

This is unbelievably depressing. Thanks Saints.
