Yes but that doesnt answer the question. Why are no other clubs only prepared to pay £8m when they are queing up to pay £12, £15, £20m for apparently similarly gifted players in equivalent leagues. Osvaldo is a loon and worth £20m plus apparently, Balotelli and Tevez more.

No wonder Bearsy has collected so many.

Im not sure where the tits references or bear baiting was in that post. Poor form

??? Stephen Twigg is the epitome of a career politician. He was President of NOLS (National Organisation of Labour Students) in the 1980s and all he has done since is politic.

Dunno, but this is my bidet

Nice gesture by Benali to make his pool available again.

Maybe no better than Lambert, but he is additional to him. We should have four recognised goalscorers imo and at the moment we've got two, the main one of which is 32. Ideally we'd sign a poacher like Hooper for £6m and a more creative forward / striker as well.

I imagine there is some kind of compromise agreement - probably not the whole amount due in wages, but some it.

And your point is? How many Saints fans can prove the year Pompey fans each had sex with a flat fish? not what the OP asked.

Forren was signed on a three and half year deal. If he was on £20,000pw at Saints and will go back to £5,000pw at Molde (reasonable assumptions) theres another £2.64m difference in wages contracted to consider in addition to the £1.75m transfer loss.

Just because payments are phased over time doesn't mean you don't have to pay them if you change your mind after six months and want to send the car / food mixer / Pl player back. Saints committed to pay £3.5m and have resold him for half that. Appalling business sense.

The English league is the richest in the world. It can pick and choose from the best players in the world. Does forming a team from the best players in the world, even if it means no Brits, give you the best chance of winning a title? yes. Does having no or very few English players in the top teams damage the national team, reduce the development of English talent and make the problem of lack of quality players coming through worse? Unquestionably.

But the fact Puncheon isnt young doesn't mean the youth aren't blocked - thats a non sequiteur. Clearly cork, Lallana, Moore and JWP will get fewer opportunities next year than if we hadn't signed wanyama and Banega (if we do). That's the problem with the whole English game. Importing from around the world and not blooding your own talent is the way most of the PL has already gone and now Saints are following. Trying to pretend otherwise is false.

Shaw, Clyne, and JRod are the only ones I see being regular first choices. JWP wont get a look in except maybe the odd cup game

That was Adkins team. Will be very different this year unfortunately.

Days ago Mauricio Pochettino, coach of the Southampton, had opened the doors to a possible arrival Ever Banega, confirming the interest in the Valencia midfielder. There has been a noticeable breakthrough, Banega is in the spotlight and new contacts are recorded. Cortese and Pochettino consider it a priority.

Utterly risible. Scare marketing at its worst. Hell and damnation is coming, and subscribing to our magazine is the solution.

You have to pay extra for that info.

No its new Minxy, back with attitude and disconcerting sassiness. I found it a bit scary. The theme is still the same though - the vid suggesting tits and a happy ie more than it delivers is still the same tho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en-GB&gl=GB&client=mv-google&v=QGnD2LfJ7Ng&nomobile=1

Strikes me as bizarre also, I just don't understand the rationale. Being able to send letters across the globe for less than the price of Mars bar is an amazing thing, more so when you also have dealings with DHL, UPS etc and see not only their much larger charges, but how often these supposedly premium services go wrong.

They're WAGs not fans imo. You dont see many fans turn up to SMS wearing Christian Laboutin shoes.

I dont understand that graphic. If the opposition are only getting 73% of the league average possession and were only getting 88% - whose got the ball?

We'd be mad to splash out £20m on a player who doesnt want to come and is being forced out of his club.

Thanks for the Wiki update Mikey. Mariga is Wanyama's brother btw.

Thats a sign of saddling another generation with huge debts and creating a bubble in the property market using taxpayers money, not a sign of recovery.
