I honestly don't know what people were expecting. I saw people saying we'd get our money back for him...no chance. I'd take £1million in all honesty, just get rid.

F*ck me Do you react the same way when people at your work try to book time off for their wedding?

Is Osvaldo back with the squad...?

You are full of cracking ideas tonight. Anyone a whiz with photoshop who can get some mock ups on the go for C.nut?

On the flipside, the most annoyed i've ever been at NOT placing a bet was when I was going to place all the money I had on us to beat Coventry final game of the Championship season. We all knew it was going to happen.

A great idea Pastor Patron had on another thread - Obviously needs to be more subtle, what about an advert for a fake product like aftershave or mens watches where the tagline is a woman saying to Lallana "you've changed...".

YES. This is a hell of an idea. We need to think of something more subtle?

I like the "Clattenburg was right" idea.

Lallana one dimensional? Christ almighty, that's a turn around.

A lot of people do, no need to sneer at it for f*cks sake.

Say whatever you want, I really rate the guy and I'm giving him my full backing.

This is the only reason I'm accepting everything that's happening. Surely he would not come to this club, even if it IS in the Prem, if he thought he was going to get f*cked over?

My point was that a bigger endorsement of OUR youth system is using it to improve OUR first team in OUR future and winning things for OUR club.

I heard they were somewhere between "ridiculous" and "astronomical".

:lol: Oh right, so we can't gauge how successful our academy is until we sell them for high fees?

You really need to decide what side you're arguing for, it wasn't that long ago you were telling us how we COULD compete with those at the top...

Who were the heroes between 04 and 06? What if we're heading for that again?

Due to his heart condition perhaps, we stood by him knowing full well he could only ever play 60 minutes at 100% or 90 minutes at 50%.

What about the £150+million we're getting from last season and next season, will that cover the transfer debt? I'd wager that's already been paid off for gods sake and yet people still bang on about it.

Oh joy, lets get rid of this young, home grown team we've steadily built up for 5 years and become just another prem team of mercenaries.

Exactly. People are getting very complacent, thinking that we churn out player after player who can be top class - we don't. Look at how many are released. Targett is far more likely to do nothing and be let go than actually perform well for us.

I thought this as well,some clubs seem to have Uni-amount levels of students in each year group.

If you're working on that pattern then isn't there 5-6 years between each players debut? That means Targett won't be the next big thing. We'll have to wait till 2020.

Just show them their contracts and say "If you don't want to perform because we're holding you to the contracts you signed, then fine. You can sit in the reserves for the remaining four years and find a new club then".

Vintage! I only managed to get the smaller amount version after we negotiated an advance payment.
