St Chalet

He'll be at West Ham before the end of September if Fat Sam has a slow start.

I am looking forward to all our new signings with an Eterna on one wrist, a Garmin on the other, a William Hill betting slip in hand listening to music via a Veho system whilst relaxing in the stylish Saints own brand training wear. Bravo!

Imagine Cork did leave for free next season. In effect he has cost us not far off what we'll probably be paying Chelsea as a loan fee for Bertrand.

Clearly Cork has no ambition and is happy to plod around the bottom half of the EPL. We don't need players with this 'Dell sized mentality'. If he was good enough, he'd be in the team.

Difficult to judge him without a proper run in the team. Don't think he has pulled up any trees yet but is highly rated by us and England it would seem. Looks to have bulked up a bit more which should help his performances this season.

If nothing else it would **** the Skates off.

Had Nicola not closed him in the Hot Tub he would have gone to Tottenham or Liverpool IMHO.

This, this and this. I suspect that the reason our players didn't stipulate release clauses is that they wouldn't have got such good wages offered.

Interesting part for me: "Cork had one year left on contract and talks over a new deal had failed to produce an agreement."

Went a few years ago to Millwall. We won 4-0 and I got to see one of the few ever games played by Marcelo Sarimento.

Just what we need, another central midfielder.

I am jealous as f***. Must remember to catch a game down there with you when I visit George in December.

Its a fair point. If we were after Newcastle's 4th/5th choice CM in the last year of their deal there would be a meltdown.

That was so last week. the Fudpucker is ok.

£12m? apply Sky Sports Factor (Lambert Deal) and you are looking closer to £6m.

I do, but ultimately whether it is £8,10 or 15m doesn't won't impact me personally

Or we are using this to pressure Ings / Burnley

How much of the £10m will i have to pay personally? Yep nothing. He isnt a marquee signing, but he is a big upgrade on Isgrove and if Pelle doesnt fire I cant see anywhere else goals will come from.

As the 12th man parody of Tony Grieg once said, "a grudge is just somewhere to park your car" I must confess that Koeman is coming out as hard as nails. Players have been crying out for clarity and leadership and shouldn't grumble if they get it.

Feck me Glasgow, you were hiding being a decent poster all these years.

Kelvin's only real crime last year was being injured at the same time as Boruc. Gazzaniga however.......

Please keep your insults to yourself.

Think that is a really poor decision. I really hope Boruc is ok with it or we are back to square one, safe to assume this will be his last season with us as I doubt he will sign a new deal.

[Awaits] William Hill's Youtube montage, FM2014 stats and Alpine moaning he isn't a CB

Think it confirms it albeit on a different day, the assumption is we had concerns at said medical. "Florin Guard was in England during the day Saturday, where he conducted medical examination for Southampton"
