Given his age? One last payday? He's 27 ffs. He has potentially another 5 years playing at this level and could even improve over the next couple.

On the flip side, it's nice to see a player going to a midtable team where he's guaranteed game time instead of jumping for instant success and money for sitting on the bench of the champions...

Anyone who doesn't think Tadic would be a huge loss is absolutely mental.

Did Danny Murphy just say Rooney has been good today!? Christ.

You're talking like a Liverpool fan - focussing on the past

Yeah. As in, people seem to think he's decent when almost all the evidence points towards him being awful.

It's an absolute myth that this guy is any good, he had a half decent tournament for Netherlands a few years back and that's it. He was f*cking woeful all season especially in the game against us. I actually wouldn't want any players from any of the three clubs and thankfully I think Saints are aiming a lot higher now anyway.

I keep saying this but it's the perfect time to switch to the sash permanently.

Because it looks a lot better without him in it!

Yeah Cedric has potential, but was not the best right back this season.

Stealing that, hope you don't mind!

Pochettino perfectly placed to be cropped out there.

Need to get Bertrand signed up. I can see him being tempted at teaming up with Clyne again though.

PA system for most of the Northam is shocking but discovered it's actually OK right at the very back.

I think it's an incredible marker of how far we've come rather than a ludicrous suggestion!

Well I expected sales to be doing a lot better than that after the Palace game. Pretty p*ss poor to be honest, I feel bad for Kelvin and the lads returning who might get the impression we've already forgotten who they are.

Much rather Sheffield Wednesday come up than Hull.

Maybe they did think it was related, but you don't take a chance with something like that FFS. What did you want them to do, pick it up and shake it to see if anything rattled?

Well as has been said before, there's a fair amount of money freed up in wages from outgoings this season (Ramirez and Osvaldo, plus Davis off the books). If Koeman is expecting NO-ONE to be sold I think he's being a bit unreasonable - if we're offered £40million or more for Mane we'd have to take it, and I'd have faith in our recruitment to improve our team with that much money. The thing he should be pushing for is every penny brought in to be made available for signings.

But it wasn't their fault​. It was an outside company.

I think we've got an answer to what Ralphs job role actually is...

3 centre backs, 7 centre midfielders. What?

Is that the words from the speech at the start of the season sung to the tune of My Way? Lyrics are cheesy to the extreme but still enjoyed it, would love to see Shane Long here for another 4 or 5 years.

Surely it's 1 step back and two steps forward, seeing as we HAVE been improving every season?

Even when he has played, he's looked a bit iffy to me. VERY selfish, to the point others have had a huge go at him for shooting from distance when they were wide open...but hopefully he can be coached into playing "our" way and recognising what the best option to take is.
