That is kind of the point of sponsorship I believe.

The best info can be found on http://www.contractoruk.com forum. There are lots of good service providers who can do all your Ltd Company stuff. PM 'Sold to the man at the bar' who runs just such a company and has the added advantage of being a Saints fan.

I think it would be cheaper to buy Veho

The fact that Alex Crook is posting facts gives me a lot more confidence. Some very close to Adam on here are not concerned. I also am told by someone who is very close to the club that he would be very surprised if he left us based on what he knows. Unfortunately that sort of 'player happy at club he has been at for 15 years following best season in 30 years' doesn't make the news.

This will happen all Summer. My personal view is that Adam is worth more to us than another club is prepared to pay. My reasoning, say Liverpool pay the reported£20m, we trouser £15m and in effect have the funds to go and buy another Osvaldo or Ramirez. Whilst not as bad as many on here have made out - you couldn't compare their value to the team with Adam. Even a player circa that amount who has worked (Big Vic) won't be the fulcrum. Add in the message that we'll sell our best player and captain and it has a far more costly impact for future years. A £25-30m bid would test the clubs bottle, but I cannot see a CL club doing that in the global market. Ultimately I can't see Liverpool paying us what he is worth to us. Their only chance will be if Adam has his heart set on leaving or the club do not show any ambition this summer and he desperately wants out.

Hate to break this to you, everyone has you on ignore.

Old photo that!

All in all a really nice evening. Quite restrained but guess you get that on a Tuesday night at the start of May. Guly - Confirmed he is off. He is hoping to stay in England but doesn't have anything lined up. Assured me he would rather retire than play for Pompey. Morgan - As said on another thread. Enjoyed this season, wants to play for France and his family will disown him if he became 'English', in their initial 40. "You can never say" when questioned on what might happen in the summer. Steve Davis - Top bloke. Came across very genuinely. Has enjoyed this season much more. He didn't get a pre-season last season due to a double hernia operation. Loves life down here, family settled etc. Luke Shaw - Not much conversation, as an 18 year old lad he had better things to do. Krueger - "Unbelievable energy and such great people at the club" Matt Le Tissier - Happy to be back in the fold. Spent a long time chatting to Lallana at the end! Chambers - someone asked if we was off to a Arsenal, "not me mate" was the instant reply. Comedy moment of the night was where a drunk lush came up to him with her camera and asked where Lallana was! Victor - feels there is more to come this season, has had a few knocks this year. Rickie - biggest queue for chat and photos. Lovely guy, fingers crossed for WC JWP - Looks like a very bright and eloquent fella. Got Yoshida to take our picture because the Japanese are good at taking photos! Yoshida - Absolutely perfect English and very engaging. Is back in training, confident he is off to Brazil. Brief chats with a few others. Hesketh seemed made up to win his award and his new pro deal. Gallagher is as huge as Harry Reed is small. Boruc seems like a top bloke, didn't seem to mind that nobody had bought any Vodka or Charlie.

Les Reed was asked about this last night by Ed Chamberlain. Said it was a poor idea. Basically along the lines of if our youngsters are good enough they should train and learn from first team and get blooded in the Prem. He stopped short of saying that our kids shouldn't stoop to Pompey's level, but I knew he meant it!

I think it means that they have put him on standby for a call up. Presume he meant preliminary but got lost in translation!

Haven't seen this posted elsewhere. Morgan was interviewed by Ed Chamberlain and confirmed that he is French and will only play for France. When I spoke to him he confirmed he has had the 'pre-qual' for France. He explained that this means he is in the initial 40 for World Cup and he hasn't booked a holiday yet this Summer! Came across as a very nice guy. Reckons Eden Hazard has been the best player he has faced this year.

John Stones for Phil Jones I reckon. not my choice, but what I think might happen.

Adam will be staying. Can't say the same for Shaw and possibly Schneiderlin. Think these two will be ultimately decided by whether MP goes.

I went tonight. I think people are reading a little too much into the Lallana answer, it didn't come across like that in the room. And to those worrying, he was having a good long chat with Le Tiss at the end. All in all a really nice evening, will post more in the morning.

That 3 points we took off Liverpool at Anfield is starting to look very costly for the Skates.

Oh, tonight's episode of the Luke Shaw saga on Twitter is that United fans are spreading the rumour he has died. Classy.

That was a few months back.

Managed Liverpool and Fulham this year. Perhaps I should go more given the effect I seem to have.

Solid World Cup prep that.

Fine I'll open it back up.

Have to say that the whole club media team have been fantastic this year. The quality, range and amount of content has been superb.

Probably our best improvement this year is the way we have put away the lower and mid-table teams. Last year we nicked more points against the top 4, something we can work on again.

UJ, let's try an experiment. We can call in 'UJ Mods'. Send me a PM with what you want me to do each time. Let's see how it goes. 4 people out of the 542 who have read this thread. If the forum is so bad why did you come back for a second round?
