Matthew Le God

Did the club consider how awkward this is now for the girl if she is isn't interested? She may skip the game with the possible press attention on her.

He is already at a top 4 club, Arsenal are 5th!

But pretends to be Scottish... Not a massive amount, he is out of contract in June and any English club that wants him will have to pay a relatively small amount of compensation like Saints did for Clyne.

The Echo are merely rehashing the story from elsewhere a couple of days after it hit the press.

Koeman said in post match Chelsea interviews that it would be 10 days. But then he also said after the Crystal Palace game that no-one was injured, so he plays with the truth.

Turkish and MLG agreeing on something. Common ground at last!

Blackburn signed him from Huddersfield for £8m, they aren't going to sell him for £4m now he's proven himself to be a top Championship striker and recently signed a new contract until 2019. You can get better value abroad but £12m is about the going rate for such a player in the current market, £4m would be a laughable bid in Blackburn's view.

The article is based on this interview by the club's media team... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?52783-Eljero-Elia-Confirmed-6-Month-Loan&p=2104698#post2104698

We'd gain his use in games until he leaves and potentially a huge transfer fee and future fees that can be used to improve the club/squad.

Benteke & Bony would probably cost £20m+ in the current market.

Get another player at Alderweireld's level to partner him and make Fonte 3rd choice. Fonte would still get game time to keep him happy, that is how you improve the quality level of the squad if we really have ambition of competing at the top.

Why don't you apply the same to your endless stream of negative posts about Saints on the main forum? We are 4th after 19 games and you are still on about survival.

Since they signed Ozil, they spent £35m on Sanchez.

Koeman said he is out for 10 days.

Should we not aspire to be better than that? Dell sized mentality you have.

What is you definition of a "club like Saints"? Halfway through a season we are challenging for 4th place. If we use Yoshida for a number of games we'll fall away. He is okay to start if we were in the bottom half, okay as cover if we were aiming for mid table, but to challenge at the top of the league we need a better quality of 3rd/4th choice centre back.

He worked hard but all the things I listed in that post I stand by. I recorded and watched the Sky coverage, Souness and Neville also pointed out his problems and they weren't solely down to being up against Hazard. Did you not notice how Chelsea were targeting Yoshida rather than a 19 year old on the other side of the pitch? They saw Yoshida as the weaklink, I don't dismiss his efforts and workrate as he certainly put a shift in but he is a very limited player even when he plays in his normal position of centre back. He would be okay if we were still a bottom half Premier League team, but he is far too limited technically to play for a team challenging as we are at the top of the league. Work rate simply isn't enough at the level Saints are aspiring to reach. I think Gardos looks more composure and assured on the ball, Yoshida panics with the ball at his feet and his distribution is poor.

Violent conduct is a straight red card, Schneiderlin got 2 yellows today... which is a 1 match ban.

Two yellow cards in a game = 1 match suspension.

I think you were at a different game to me. He really struggled defensively, positionally he was poor, his lack of pace a problem and he offered little in the way of attacking threat.

Did you do the second part...?

Clyne was touched by the noodly appendage and it healed him...

Tis but a (superficial) flesh wound. Ronald Koeman says there were no injuries picked up today and the squad is in good shape for Chelsea. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30605421

Give it a go and follow the instructions through.
