Ronald Koeman ‏@Koeman1963 15m On my way to #Southampton!

Ronald's brother, Erwin Koeman is Southampton's assistant manager.

That isn't him from FM14, its from FM13 when he hadn't played in the Premier League. He said the screenshots are from FM13, so its based on how he was after a season in the Championship in the 2011/12 season. In the January update for FM14 Lallana is one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League. I have a lot more than just "some input" into how he is in the game.

Its his every touch in one match, so its clearly not going to be as spectacular as a highlights package of his best bits over a a number of seasons.

He also did an English version... rançois pinet ‏@francoispinet 56m Our sources indicate that Alexis Sanchez and Morgan Schneiderlin are heading to Arsenal

Same person did an English version of the Tweet... rançois pinet ‏@francoispinet 56m Our sources indicate that Alexis Sanchez and Morgan Schneiderlin are heading to Arsenal

françois pinetVerified account‏@francoispinet D'après nos informations, Alexis Sanchez (Barça) et Morgan Schneiderlin (Southampton) vont signer à Arsenal. Twitter isn't a person, anyone on the world can post on Twitter. If you use Twitter as a source you really need to say who on Twitter.

Its come from here, so has a degree of credibility about it compared to just a random on Twitter... But why doesn't the opening poster of this thread say where its from?

That means nothing unless it is a credible source. If its just a random person on Twitter is it worth starting a new thread? Who on Twitter has said it?

It was registered in Liverpool...

I'd say the last two years of someone's career is more relevant. Should we judge Rickie Lambert on only scoring 13 League One goals from 46 games in 2007/08 at the age of 26? We've sold Lambert, so I'd say we do need a Lambert replacement. He worked very well in Pochettino's system, hence the team finishing 8th and him getting a large number of goals and assists. if Koeman plays in a similar style Pelle appears to be a very good replacement from the little I've seen and read about him. I'm sure Koeman knows how to get the best out of him, as 50 goals in 57 games highlights.

Is it? 50 goals in 57 games for Feyenoord suggests he is doing something very well even if the league isn't great. Perhaps he'll be an Alfonso Alves and flop, but lots of very good players have also come out of the Dutch league and he is currently one of the best in that league. He is a Lambert replacement, we don't need him to have immense pace. He does however look to be faster and more agile than Lambert (can you imagine Lambert doing overheads?) and technically looks very adept in this "highlights" package...

What is the "Koeman formation"?

The training ground will have been budgeted for regardless of player sales. The club had no idea when they were in League 1/Championship and planning the training ground they could raise such amounts from Lallana and Shaw in 2014.

What does that mean?

Lambert was never going to stay with Liverpool interested in him and even if he did I struggle to see how that would make Lallana and Shaw turned down huge wage increases and a better chance of winning things.

Obligatory Youtube video...

Did you think the same when we signed Jay Rodriguez from Burnley?

Not just "these days", thats pretty much how its always been.

Danny Ings is a former Saints academy player, is a Saints fan and his family still live nearby. If we get both Ings and Rodriguez then Burnley fans won't be too happy. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2672506/Southampton-want-Burnleys-Danny-Ings-replace-Rickie-Lambert.html Obligatory Youtube video... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2672506/Southampton-want-Burnleys-Danny-Ings-replace-Rickie-Lambert.html Graziano Pelle Danny Ings Jay Rodriguez Sam Gallagher As next season's strike force perhaps.

That doesn't justify post #16.

You've made that up.

We still can, but it'll take time and good player recruitment building up the squad quality over a number of years even if star players leave. We aren't at the level Shaw and Lallana want at the moment, so they left.
