  1. Possibly not, but that could have been down to the hard-nosed approach that our board adopted throughout the window, so, whether we received offers or not, it could be argued our board played a blinder.
  2. Fair enough. I was just echoing Morgan's account of his reintegration into the team: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2014/10/07/schneiderlin-this-was-the-moment-i-knew-i-was-staying-at-southam/ “I played against Liverpool at Anfield and all the Southampton fans applauded me and chanted my name. It was so heart-warming. I knew then I would spend the whole season at Southampton."
  3. IMO, that would be 'cutting off nose to spite face' territory. When Schneiderlin was interviewed after his throwing toys out of pram episode, he said one of the main things that made him knuckle down and have a good season was the good reaction he got from the Saints fans at his first game back in the fold away at Liverpool. If VvD senses a hostile atmosphere towards him from Saints fans it's hardly going to help with his reintegration. If we want to maximise the chances of him having a good season then we're going to have to bite the bullet and give him an encouraging 'let bygones be bygones' welcome back. Just my opinion.
  4. That's a fair 'small picture' point of view but, as Jimmy_D says, there are potentially consequential benefits if we look at the bigger picture.
  5. Actually, given how conniving Liverpool and VvD's agent are, I'm surprised they didn't actually think of this idea to bypass our desire not to deal with Liverpool!
  6. The Saints twitter feed is surprisingly quiet tonight. In the past, when our business is done, haven't they usually posted a few insignificant tweets around this time on deadline day to keep people on their toes...? #clutchingatstrawsforonemoreincoming
  7. Time to put a few bob on the French for the World Cup I reckon (yes, the Dutch have been poor but France have got a glut of talent up front)
  8. 4-0 Hoedt turned inside out for that one
  9. France 3 Netherlands 0 French counter attack... nothing Hoedt could do about it.
  10. Bulgaria beating Sweden. Lifeline for the Dutch? (whilst it means Bulgaria leapfrog the Dutch it keeps Sweden within touching distance)
  11. 2nd goal for France. Great strike. Hoedt not involved.
  12. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?58723-Virgil-Transfer-Rumours-January-18#.Wahsesh97dM
  13. The Dutch down to 10 men. A soft second yellow for Strootman.
  14. Quick, someone take a photo for the family albumen
  15. Given the January window is only 17 weeks away, the rumours will probably start tomorrow....!
  16. France 1 nil up on 14 minutes. Didn't see the goal so not sure if Hoedt involved.
  17. Why are the two numbers '3' and '5' less offensive and/or annoying than the numbers '8' and '5'? #firstworldproblems
  18. Different in what respect?
  19. K,Billy's in the house! **** just got real
  20. Composing an email to send to the mods to say what the outcome of today will be so that his ITK credentials can be corroborated and thus sticking two fingers up at the doubters.... #onlyjoshing
  21. Tweaked it for you
