It is 3 years at a club before the season turning 21 y/o. Morgan Schneiderlin is a home grown player for English clubs.

Now write it out 100 times. If its not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off. [video=youtube;XbI-fDzUJXI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbI-fDzUJXI

Nothing, that article is merely a rehash of other reports. They link to the article it is based on and it is this... http://www.squawka.com/news/liverpool-transfer-round-up-firmino-is-close-reds-agree-to-meet-saints-asking-price-for-clyne/403225 Which is also a rehash of other reports and it links to this... http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/585831/Manchester-City-50m-Bid-Raheem-Sterling-Liverpool-Transfer-News So basically the Tuesday Metro article you've linked to is a retelling of a story in the Sunday Express. The Metro often does these follow the trail articles, as its journalist have no contacts of their own and you end up finding the story is a rehash from an older story in other publications.

Two of the three have signed for Southampton, time for Les Reed to work on the third...

You could reduce the number of tickets you sell to the away side and open up the blocks in the away end to home fans. Saints do also use the phrase "sell out" when they've sold out the home end tickets.

He is joking, an "allotment" in England is also piece of land divided up and used by lots of people to grow plants and vegetables. You are allotted a small piece of land. I think they are called "community gardens" in America...

Is that an educated guess or have you heard something?

Things like that can happen when the press link a club to a player and then fans of that club place bets on the transfer happening. The bookmakers then reduce the odds, but that doesn't mean the transfer is likely to happen, just bookmakers trying to make the most money possible from the market.

We were never going to sign a better keeper than Forster. He is our long term number one and Stekelenburg should be a significant upgrade on having to use Davis or Gazzaniga.

It is what a lot of religions effectively believed. Is that really any more silly than the Judeo-Christian deity? Of course not.

Your original post implied the two were connected, i.e. that going to church made him a "top man". How does it make someone a good person to goto church? If a God did exist I'd rather not worship one who requires constant worship, a God like that sounds like living in a North Korean dictatorship. If Wanyama does a lot of charity work that is commendable. But if charity work is motivated by sucking up to a man in the clouds so you get a place in heaven, then that rather taints it. Charity work for secular reasons has more honesty and integrity to it, than feeling obliged to do it to please a man in the clouds.

What if the church he goes to worships a different deity to the one you've chosen to believe in. Does that still make him a "good man"?

Such as?

Don't be silly, but I do struggle to see how being an "avid church goer" makes someone a "top man". Being a "supporter of many charities" is fair enough, but you don't need to be religious to do that.

He is a huge upgrade in quality on Davis and Gazzaniga. Forster is our long term keeper, we aren't going to sign someone that will stay number 1 when Forster is back. Stekelenburg should be of sufficient quality to be our keeper in the meantime.

No, they gave a roundup of Saints related rumours in other media sources and cited the Express. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/13345704.GOSSIP__Saints_to_tie_up_deals_for_Alderweireld_and_Austin_/?ref=mac That is not the same as the Echo themselves linking Austin with a bid from Saints.

I don't think an Echo journalist overlooking him is anything to be worried about, its how Koeman views him that is important.

The gas holders are huge!

Can you provide any proof of this?

"Average" players don't play for as many top clubs as he has. The season before we signed him he was the joint 3rd top scorer in Serie A, "average players" don't do that. Even in his brief time in a Saints shirt you could see he had the technique, ball control, movement, creativity etc of a very good player. The problem was his personality and temperament.

At the point some of these previous posts and threads you & Turkish are now trawling up were written we didn't know what the relationship between Cortese and Liebherr was like for certain. We know have a better understanding, given the way things ended and other things have come to light. A lot was still just forum rumour and unsubstatiated press speculation. Had Cortese and Liebherr had a better relationship perhaps his ambition for the stadium may have proven more likely to gain favour from our financial backer.

I think he'd be more likely than Krueger to push for it, it then becomes a question of if he could get the finance for it. Given the breakdown between Cortese and Liebherr that would have proven extremely difficult.

You both fail to see the context those posts were written in. At the time of my posts the club was being run by someone who commissioned expansion designs. Circumstances changed under new management. Did either of you predict Cortese's departure?

His CA makes him the 15th best Saints player in the current FM15 database. 18th if you include Osvaldo, Ramirez and Boruc. Is that unreasonable?
