St Chalet

They are only our best players if they want to play for you.

As fans we don't really have a choice. It's not like a bank where you can switch your account if you get hacked off with when their staff change. Swiss billionaires don't generally cripple their own investments. We have had short term pain for a long term gain.

Football is emotional, people say things in the heat of the moment, #WeMarchOn

Disagree. Even that was a **** idea. Shilton would have held the world record for international caps but for this ridiculous tactic. Also during this period Englands qualification record was utter pony.

Do Boruc and Schezny alternate for Poland? [awaits MLG]

This. Bloke has been with us for 6 years. One ****ty tweet and a weekend to get over himself still leaves us in credit.

Correct, merely referencing a reported earlier link.

How reliable are the Star in our list of lying scumbag journos? http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/389861/Southampton-look-to-John-Guidetti-as-replacement-for-Liverpool-s-Rickie-Lambert

My Palace contact reckons it will happen, Pulis looking for an excuse. I got 8-1 this morning, good luck getting that price now!

No logins for a week.

Hi Irene, Did Artur train today and will he be in the squad for Sunday?

I think it's a fair bit more than that.

If we were so fit last year how come Lallana couldn't play 90 minutes?

Moved to its own thread so we can discuss transfers on the transfer thread.

Should have played Boruc, then swapped him out when he made a mistake or got injured.

Where do we park the Mercedes van?

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."
