Why are people getting concerned about the tweet of a random Arsenal fan?

It is not Talksaints' info, it is lifted from this and talksaints retweeted it and then made his own tweet... Mike_Hughes_Business @TheAFCMovement · 21m Calum Chambers medical done today#arsenal#afc https://twitter.com/TheAFCMovement A random Arsenal fan with 400 followers, i.e. complete ********.

He may have blocked you, but he follows me. Me >>> You

True, but if(when) Lovren is sold its hard to see Saints not buying another centre back(maybe even two). Yoshida starting is fine for a bottom half Premier League team, not if we want to maintain a top half finish. If Hooiveld plays its a disaster waiting to happen and he'd be better off at a Championship side. We are being linked with Lovren replacements, and if we get one of these to sign the Lovren departure may not have a huge impact... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-transfers-virgil-van-dijk-3909641 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-want-stefan-de-vrij-3893127

What is wrong with that as a team? (and please don't use the pathetic nickname Gashton in your reply)

Is this not a team...? Boruc Chambers Fonte Lovren(Yoshida) Clyne(Targett) Wanyama Davis Schneiderlin Ramirez Tadic Pelle Left back and centre back may not be ideal, but its far from a disaster. Plus we still have 23 days for further additions before the opening game.

Put everyone bar Guan 2.0 and Monk on your ignore list. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/profile.php?do=ignorelist

Chelsea have one in Romsey and Winchester... https://www.chelseasoccerschools.co.uk/soccerschools/booking/venues.htm

You didn't just say that though, you said Hull were "developing a far stronger squad than us, substantially so". And then when asked to list players they have that would get into our starting XI, you could only mange 2 out of 11. So 9 of the players in a combined XI would be Saints players, how does that make Hull better than us?

Tedious = guilty as charged

You call it "drivel", I call it ripping your constant negative rubbish apart leaving you no-where to go. You've changed Saint Charlie, you've changed!

So you've listed... 2 Stoke players 6 Newcastle players 3 Hull players If only 2 Stoke and 3 Hull players would make our best XI, how do you propose they are better than us? When 8 or 9 of the other players would be Saints players. Also I'd question quite a few in your list. For example... - Tiote and Huddlestone over Schneiderlin and Wanyama? - De Jong over Tadic? - Long over Pelle? - Janmaat over Chambers and Clyne? - If you have Shawcross and Davies they may be better than Fonte, but they aren't better than Lovren.

The point I was making is that it doesn't make sense either way round. Why are you so quick to dismiss Tadic and Pelle being effective against Hull?

Umm, what about here...? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?50899-Other-Team-s-Transfers&p=1997973#post1997973 So I'll ask again... Which Hull, Stoke and Newcastle players would you want in the current Saints best XI?

Do you apply that "logic" the other way? How did Hull get on against us in 2013/14 with their summer 2014 signings? I'll ask you as well.. .Which Hull players would you want in the current Saints best XI?

Which Hull players would you want in the current Saints best XI? There was a large gulf in quality between the sides last season, even with no Lambert/Lallana/Shaw I don't think they've overtaken us with their signings this summer.

Ask this guy...

I believe Saints are doing things like this throughout the south of England (including in London boroughs) and building up a large network of centres... http://www.northdevonjournal.co.uk/Soccer-School-forges-Premier-League-link/story-21749307-detail/story.html The reputation of our academy, high quality facilities at Staplewood training ground and the pathway into the 1st team gives us a big advantage and a vast catchment area.

Is this not worthy of sticky thread status? Its a signing Jimmy_D... a signing!

Yep, its all standardised.

The thread title was a clue. One too many 0's.

With the rest of the first team squad.

Lovren was at Staplewood training today.

Are they? How many of their players would you want in the Saints starting XI?
