I hope that is another training top, because it is horrendous.

I was only messing.

Correction Don't underestimate the pull of that. Plus if Shalke and Sevilla don't make a big enough bid for Tadic or offer the terms Saints do then Saints are in a strong position. Mentioning two other clubs in the press could simply be a negotiating technique by his agent to get the best possible wage offer from Saints. Plus as I said...

Sevilla sporting director admits they can't compete with English sides in the transfer market for players like Tadic... http://www.insidespanishfootball.com/114597/monchi-we-cant-compete-with-premier-league-clubs-were-not-in-that-sort-of-orbit/

Saints had a wage bill of £47m in 2012/13. In 2013/14 it would have past the £50m mark with Osvaldo, Wanyama and Lovren joining and a large number of existing players signing new bigger deals. I'd like to see Talksport explain how Saints can have a £50m+ wage bill if key players like Schneiderlin are only on £468,000 per year. Where is the rest of the money going? It is so wrong, it is frankly laughable to suggest Schneiderlin (who signed a new deal in 2013) is on £9k p/w!

I think its extremely unlikely a 19 year old will get the captaincy next season ahead of a number of senior players with good captain credentials. I do agree Ward-Prowse is captain material, but in the future.

What do you mean by that? and this? What do you think "total football" is? What type of players do you think you need for it?

Perhaps we should just end this. Can a mod please close, delete or put in quarantine this thread.

"Boring and pointless" because of them being random negative musings.

Mainly your posts rather than threads you've started, but here is one... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?50462-What-the-****-is-going-on#.U7SPMRZpfR4 Strange thing is, I used to like your posts. As Mark Clattenburg would say... "you've changed".

See you've twisted it already, the thread title is "random negative musing threads". Can you provide examples of those I have ever made?

Well of course this thread was going to be boring, it is about people that start pointless and boring (sometimes trolling) threads so they were likely to try and defend themselves and attack me. Inevitable then this thread would be a car crash, but it hopefully it has an outside chance of creating a by-pass around the countless random musing threads. In itself it is also a random musing thread, but I'm raising the issue.

Its bizarre threads like this one you started as to why I included you... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?50838-Weakest-Squad-in-the-League#.U7SMUhZpfR4

I talked about many of the things they mention, but not in the way that CB Fry and Batman describe as they've twisted them, added elements that weren't there and taken them out of the context they were written. You have as well it appears.

I'm not being negative though am I? I'm saying give Koeman time and judge the board on the transfer activity in this window when it shuts, not on day 2 of pre-season. That is the rational way to approach it. If our squad looks poor in early September then I'll criticise the board as negativity will then be deserved, it isn't at the moment.

Twisted, taking things out of context, ********.

I think they should expand and develop area around the stadium, it would help raise the profile and reputation of the club if we did have a development like the Cortese commissioned stadium. However you've twisted what I said over a number of issues.

I haven't ever said that, you've made that up. I've never worded anything remotely like that. At no point have I ever said Saints "need" a 50k stadium. You've made that up. I have talked about Wolves plans, so what? No I didn't. The "theme" of the thread was to look at what the club had made public as to their ambitions for the stadium. Not in the context you've said I did. No I didn't. Please prove otherwise. ...................... Amazing how you've both twisted and taken out of context what I've said in the past that you have now convinced yourselves it happened that way.

Massively over-positive = No, I'm saying wait and see what Koeman does in the transfer window and don't judge the club on day 2 of pre-season. If by the end of the window the squad isn't improved then I'll criticise the board, but not before. That is the rational approach. Pedantic = Yes Idiot = No

You now done exactly what I just said CB Fry did.

Its easy to be annoyed by things if you just make up a list of things up in your head that I've supposedly said. You repeated these so often you've actually convinced yourself now that I actually said those things, when in fact you've twisted, fabricated and taken out of context what I said completely.
