If the release fee is commensurate with the market value of a prolific Champions League level striker, then agreeing upon a reasonable fee wouldn't 'price him out of a move', surely? Indeed, quite the opposite?

I think both arguements for who should play left back have equal merits... - Play Vokins to give him more chance to gel with team ahead of the PL game - Field our strongest possible team for the cup game (i.e. play Bertrand) I lean slightly towards giving Vokins more game time thus making him more prepared for the PL game

## trousers thinking out loud klaxon ## One would have thought Saints are aiming for a release clause figure that is commensurate with the value of a Champions League quality striker. If Ings's camp is aiming for a release figure that is significantly lower than that, then their stance is inherently contradictory, is it not? You either consider yourself to be champions League level or you don't. In other words, you can't in one breath declare yourself to be CL level whilst in another breath valuing yourself below that level, without appearing hypocritical, can you?

Oh, go on then....

1994?

We weren't a million miles away from earning a deserved point against them with a depleted squad...

Round 4 next up then. Do we have any idea who'll be back for this game?

"Stay" for how long? The rest of the season? Another 3 years?

If he's mentally already on his way then I'd be inclined to twist as soon as possible

10, I think. But he's naturally a No.6, isn't he?

Well, that question got answered tonight. Decent cameo. Hopefully earns him a berth on the bench in the PL.

Did what we needed to do. No more, no less. Good to see some of the youngsters getting first team experience. Thought they were decent enough, Watts probably the best of the bunch. JWP never put a foot wrong yet again. My MotM

This

Yep, defo got something about him. Arguably our best player in the first half. Bugger... Adams should score

I thought Jankewitz was more of a No.6 than a No.10

Shouldn't Long be unhappy rather than grinning like a Cheshire cat when he gets subbed?

Ah...

What's happened?

Have you not seen DT post on this forum before...?

A fraction on the line

Damn... Close...

Should be 2

A full strength Arsenal?

I reckon we'll win by 2 or 3 playing the way we're currently playing
