Saints would get a tiny % of that fee due to FIFA solidarity contribution. At Saints from 8 to 16...

How else could they do it? They have too many qualifying rounds to fit into a short space of time for much notice to be given.

Why are you always so dismissive of the academy?

Have you considered it is possible that he could want to join Saints, but also he'd be interested in joining other clubs as well? Its possible for both to be the case. Also if Spurs have an offer accepted for him and Saints don't, then he can't join us regardless of how much he would like to.

And you'd be a terrible juror... Instant Classic lied and you took his word in order to turn it against me.

Why does anyone ever need to say "IMO"? Who else's opinion could I have thought it was? Last season... Imbula - 37 league games - 2 goals - 2.4 tackles per game - 1.2 interceptions per game - 1.8 fouls per game Schneiderlin - 26 league games - 4 goals - 3.7 tackles per game - 2.6 interceptions per game - 1.8 fouls per game Plus Schneiderlin playing in a stronger league. Don't take this as me not wanting Imbula, I'd actually quite like him. But on a stats basis, Schneiderlin wins.

On what is that based? He is 3 years younger than Schneiderlin and looks to have a lot of potential, but is currently behind Schneiderlin in the pecking order for France.

Before vs After, Liverpool vs Southampton, Ian Ayre vs Les Reed, Brendan Rodgers vs Ronald Koeman...

Here is an indépendant witness... If you edit a post within about 3 minutes of posting, it doesn't leave a note saying an edit has been made.

He did, its a very quick edit.

What do you mean "still"? We've known the debt situation since the accounts were published in March... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150330-southampton-financial-results-2013-14-2367070.aspx It is soft debt to the owner and the company made a £33.4m profit. UPDATE: The opening post originally said "still" before a very quick edit left no trace of it

He is liable to go AWOL.

I don't see why you think adding seats to St Mary's would be so much more costly than adding seats to Cardiff's stadium? Many other examples I could use to show adding seats to an existing relatively modern stadium is significantly cheaper than building an entirely new one to the same capacity. - St Mary's cost £32m to build in 1999 to 2001 - 90% of £32m = £28.8m - Cardiff City in the last 2 years added 5,000 seats at a cost of £12m or £2,400 per seat To add 13,000 seats to St Mary's to take it to 45,000 at £2,400 per seat would = £31.2m Very similar! To build a 45,000 seater stadium from scratch on Jackson's Farm would cost significantly more than £28.8m or £31.2m! Out of interest how much do you think the two things would cost...? a) expanding St Mary's to 45,000 b) building a brand new 45,000 stadium

Why The Dell and not the Antelope Ground or County Cricket Ground?

Only players that weren't on international duty in June. Most of our first team squad won't be back until the following week.

Wouldn't it be better to take each player on their own merits rather than taint them all with the same brush?

Why not?

In his Twitter profile he describes himself as... "Reputable established football associate. 17 years of experience in intermediary/third party sponsoring." Shouldn't that be for others to decide rather than labelling yourself!

Stoke finished 13 points and 5 places above Leicester last season. I don't think its unreasonable to think they are the better team.

He was Stoke's player of the season, how can going to a weaker team be his level? He'd be better off staying at Stoke than moving to Leicester.

Do you disagree with what I said? I wasn't saying we should make St Mary's bigger or move to a new stadium, I was merely commenting that the cost to expand St Mary's would be significantly less that building a completely new stadium. Thank you.

Cardiff City recently added over 5,000 seats and more corporate areas for £12m. If Saints added 13,000 to St Mary's it would be tiny in cost compared to building a completely new 45,000+ stadium.

6 in the Premier League, pretty good for a 20 year old midfielder from 16 starts and having his season disrupted by injury from September to December.
