If you had one question, what would you ask him? I'd go for: "how much did the Alderweireld 'saga' have to do with the CFO leaving the club?"

2.7/10

One assumes we didn't bid earlier because we we're still hopeful of Alderweireld staying?

I have a good hunch about Ramirez this season (Disclaimer: my hunches have been slightly wide of the mark on one or two occasions over the last 10 years)

I read that as saying that it's the player preferring West Ham rather than our bid being too late. Until the contract is signed its never 'too late' as such.

That Ramirez fella looks quite promising...

Alps - would you be up for all of us clubbing together to buy you a season ticket (inclusive of return flights and accommodation)? You always go into rational posting mode for a short while after attending games during pre-season and its all rather pleasant

This

How is encouraging players to grow curly hair going to help matters?

Checking for over reactions on the Saints Web Forum I would guess

Keep your voice down. We don't want the meltdown brigade on here realising we may have bought another gem for a third of the price we sold the player they replaced...

The stated aim of the club is to "breed success, not buy success", either via the academy or bringing on young players from elsewhere.

Any idea if that was in reaction to AM coming back to us to invite us to beat Spurs's offers each time or did AM keep us completely out of the bidding loop? Cheers

Jrod 2nd half then I guess? subs: K. Davis (GK), Cédric, Gardos, Wood, McQueen, Little, Seager, Hesketh, Rodriguez.

Anyone know if Spurs are looking for an U18s coach? #justwondering

Quite an interesting week all in all then....

I'm very confident that I'll get home this evening. Something may happen to prevent that but I'm still confident it'll happen. (a.k.a. Trousers Weak Analogy Tactic (T.W.A.T.))
