I think it was that Cup game against Liverpool that turned the tide. If I recall correctly we were still in it and fighting, WS came on, gave the ball away and they scored. I remember being pissed off with him myself at the time.

Does a new striker too get it to 10/10?

We'll be giving £5m of that to Sporting.

Can't see the Rangers board backing him with that sort of money, £15m plus. No Europe income either. His days are numbered anyway, I expect they're already sounding out replacements. Anyway, that's for another thread (my bad).

There media department seem more dopey than ours. Here Baggies fans, take a look at your favourite who we're flogging to a rival for peanuts. Fill your boots! Edit- Ah I see that was from 22 June. Maybe not so dopey then. Tis the sort of things ours would have done LOL.

I bet that conversation (we've got photos so stop being lying wankers) swiftly turned into up your offer to over £40m or this goes to the FA.

If you'd have told me on the last day of last season that before 1 September we'd only have sold 2 players I'd want to keep, moved on 10+ players and brought in £120m I'd have bitten your hand off. Add then spending over £10m each on 3 new players (if they complete) plus Mads and I'd have called you crazy. Maybe if the club just looked at that Striker position and GK...... pllllleeeeeeaaaasssssseeeee. As you say, a few days to go, but it's not looking bad to me.

It was a good article. He very eloquently kicks him in the nuts time and again

...and the wage bill will have been clobbered too. Lots of big earners gone, although I'm sure those three new guys aren't signing for buttons.

Athletic Journo saying £10m package so that would include any add-ons, but agree £10m plus and another £5m would seem closer, although still a bit low to me.

I'm not sure how much of an improvement we're getting on quality with all these ins and outs (although I hope at least some). BUT, we've had a shit defeatist attitude for several seasons and a shit system drilled into the players by RM. The more players with that scar tissue we can ship out and replace with new ones the better.

£10m is crazy low, I'd be well pissed off if we were selling him for that.

Personally I'd like a goalkeeper too but I know that ain't happening.

As an Everton fan he'll very soon understand the issue of PSR

Yea, daffodil. LOL why? (I used to be Winchester Red but lost use of an email address. SaintsWeb can be pretty inflexible. Have the odd contact in the physio room but nothing more)

Yeah, I'd be pissed with £30m but it's looking like 'over £40m with add-on' but who knows if that's 35 plus 5.000001 or 40 plus 5?

You do all know £50m was a negotiating position don't you? Like the £100m for Dibling thing. If you expect to get press quoted figures you're going live very disappointed. But still expect closer to £40m than £30m

Bid accepted I'm told. Pity (See it's all over the Transfer Rumour thread)

I'm jealous you all seem to know so much about him (and how crap he is). I've never heard of him.

TBH I'd happily have taken Ings on a free and paid him £500 per minute completed plus £20,000 per goal. I expect he has a good idea how many minutes he's going to play though... and it ain't many.

I find it strange they allowed us to fanfare this signing just days before our big game with them. Usually with these marque transfers they'd be embargoed until afterwards so as to not upset the fans of the club the players leaving... Confused

What makes you so certain we're not getting Ings? Just because Sheffield United signed him today doesn't mean Saints won't offer them £5million tomorrow.

If he told Russy he's a c*** then I have a newfound respect for him.

After about 30minutes we started to play the ball ahead of the man instead of behind him. Amazing what a difference that can make. I even saw some fast one touch football later on. RM has got a lot to answer for.

Where does Fernandes fit in?
