Yes, because Shane Long earning £50k p/w is a slight rise on his Hull wages and he has just had a £12m move. For a £27m (rising to £31m) player like Shaw to be on £50k p/w, it stands out as extremely low. Again as Steve Grant said, perhaps the £50k p/w you believe it to be is after tax, which given the bracket Shaw would be in makes his wage significantly higher than £50k p/w.

As Steve Grant said to you, it might be £50k p/w after tax. Because a £27m (rising to £31m) player on £50k p/w stands out as being extremely low. If he really is on £50k p/w he needs to find himself a new agent, because others could get him a far better deal than that, especially when negotiating with Ed Woodward!

Shane Long was on £45k p/w at Hull and just had a £12m move, I'd imagine he got a wage rise to move to Saints. You don't sign players for £10m Forster, £8m Pellè, £11.8m Mané, £6m Gardoș, £10.9m Tadić and have them on low wages. We'd also be covering a high % if not all of Alderweireld and Bertrand's wage and neither will be small.

We didn't have three good centre backs in pre-season. Now we do, he may start using it in training to get them used to it for a plan B later in the season.

Koeman said Alderwiereld can play as right or left sided centre back.

Aside from the difference between Hampshire and Hull, he is in for a shock when he turns up for training after the international break...

I resent that remark!

He was born after 1st January 1993, so isn't on the list.

Players born after 1st January 1993 don't count towards the 25 man list. You've also missed out Gazzaniga and Mayuka who should be on your list.

I was basing it on this... http://www.capitalonecup.co.uk/competition/rules/#22

If I go I'd be taking the train as I don't live in Southampton, I was just saying £28 for match ticket and coach ticket for a game at the Emirates is good.

We have, both club agree on the price and Saints get a large % of the gate money.

£18 travel, plus £10 match ticket, plus 5,187 fellow Saints fans = good evening

£81k p/w wages €10m/£7.9m option to buy

The Spanish FM research team believes he is on £81k p/w at Atletico Madrid! Also that the option to buy in the loan is for €10m.

All we hear is... Sadio Mané

That doesn't matter. You can have extensions to the deadline and you can announce deals whenever you want.

Saints still own both Long and Ramirez, Hull will have paid Saints a signicant loan fee/cover a large % of his wages.

That is a Premier League rule, not down for the clubs to discuss in transfer talks.

In terms of looks, she is low down. Sky have a large number of more attractive presenters that know their stuff and can read an auto-cue.

Perhaps offscreen, but it doesn't come across when she is presenting or interviewing people. She asks daft questions and doesn't seem aware of a wide range of things to do with the sport. Don't you agree that she makes constant mistakes in her delivery? She really does struggle to read auto-cues, its just mistake after mistake. Surely the ability to read an auto-cue is a key skill in presenting on SSN that most of the other presenters manage to do fine.

She really is a terrible presenter, she struggles to read an auto-cue and knows little about football.
