Then why is he a regular with a recent contract extension?

It never existed and was a fan made mock up.

Cue the 'plastic fans' jokes...

They even messed it up as it was available to see on the club store a while ago. So the Saints app didn't not have an exclusive.

It is available to see on the club store...

That may work in the case of a fringe player and he'd get the message. However it doesn't when the player in question is one of your best players and captain. If he refuses to leave then do you really think the manager would not play him in the team?

I asked a reasonable question. You didn't answer it.

If he wants to stay how would they get him to sign for another club? It is upto him, not the club. They aren't going to stop playing him for the next 4 years if he refuses to leave.

If he doesn't want to leave then it is not in the club's hand as it would already be settled. The club can't force him to sign a contract for another club.

The club have made no comment on it.

Nope, enlighten us all.

I doubt any Brummie would be swayed to get a season ticket on the basis of such a rumour.

He didn't say the 'least racist society', he said 'one of the least racist societies', there is a difference between those two statements. Plus it isn't unreasonable as a statement. Sure you can point to lots of racist parts of UK society, but the UK's population is more diverse than many nations and a diverse population and multiculturalism generally equates a more accepting society in regard to race. It is countries where there is less diversity in the population where they are generally less tolerate of different races. That of course does not mean the UK is any where near where it ideally should be... just more so than many others.

No I didn't. What are you claiming the answer is and in what way was the question an answer to itself?

If they don't sign him how does it work as a ploy to satisfy their fanbase?

Not due to the quality of our first choice XI... it is largely due to our lack of squad depth in some areas screwing us.

@Lord Duckhunter prefers random guesses rather than evidence.

You've decided to ignore Ward-Prowse and Romeu's ball winning stats then?

1) Who said that? 2) You admit you haven't seen him play... Yet have written him off already. Can you not see the issue/conflict between those two things?

So are you saying you can bank on a midfielder if he scores open play goals but not if he scores free kick goals? If so why the difference?

1) Why are you focusing on size? Is Messi too small for the Premier League? 2) You've admitted you haven't seen him play so how are you making the judgment he isn't good enough? 3) Armstrong outdid Ings for goals per game if you look at both of their last seasons in the Championship. 4) Do free kick goals not count? Why are you so dismissive of them? Saints will still get lots of free kicks outside the box next season and Ward-Prowse is likely to score quite a few from those opportunities.
