Are you serious? You don't like the club progressing by signing better players and developing? Puncheon is fine to start for a bottom half Premier League team or be cover for a mid table team. But Saints have aspirations beyond that and Puncheon will struggle to get into our matchday 18 let alone the starting XI. Understandable why he'd want to goto Palace, as he won't play here.

Football Manager Classic 2014 is coming to PlayStation Vita. It is first time the handheld game is to feature our 3D Match Engine, alongside a pretty much identical feature set to FMC on home computers. FMC14 for PS Vita allows cross-platform play away from home computers, meaning that fans who own both FM14 (and play Classic mode) for PC, Mac or Linux and FMC14 for PS Vita will be able to carry on a single continuous game, whether they’re at home using their computer or out and about with their PlayStation Vita (or vice versa). The saved game stored in the cloud. http://www.sigames.com/news/14244/Football+Manager+Classic+2014+comes+to+PlayStation+Vita+play+home+and+away

Umm, no we've agreed a transfer for one of our players. Payments for future appearances/goals/international appearances/team performance etc are common in deals.

A South London Sports journalist believes it to be true... @GrahamMoody Am hearing the Puncheon loan deal is legit. Good signing for #CPFC

No need, that is a Premier League rule. "V.7.2. during the period of the Temporary Transfer of his contract registration a Player shall not play against the Transferor Club"

Plus, he can't play against us and could potentially help a team that aren't a threat to us take points off a team that might be.

A Saints youth player tweeted this... George Mells ‏@official_mells 9m Hope Jason Puncheon does well on his loan spell at Crystal Palace

Ahead of which team? Man City, Chelsea or Man Utd?

Captains can be asked to determine the mood/togetherness of the dressing room to help you know when you should have a team meeting.

Official Real Time Editor for those that like to cheat will be available as a paid download (cost tbc) for FM14 sim mode.

Captains can now be asked to resolve conflicts between two team mates.

You can now ask a player to sack his agent...

Would you prefer it to look like this game from 1996? Meet your accountant...

He could be in the squad vs Barnsley and get a squad number, but I think it is unlikely they'd give him 11.

I doubt any of them will be involved at all. I think its more likely be those in our first team squad that aren't in the starting XI in Premier League games plus some from the Under 21's.

Scott Sinclair's ex girlfriend was in Coronation Street playing a character called Rosie Webster.

Yes, number 11 is still free. But that doesn't mean it will be filled by another signing, he may have just preferred number 17 and 11 is still free as a result.

Fly on the wall documentary of Pochettino and Osvaldo in Espanyol dressing room. Quite a twist at the end!

I think there is a reasonable chance of that given he has a week of training ahead of him. Had he signed on the Thursday before the game he'd probably be on the bench.

Roma said €15.1m with a further €2m of potential extras. €17.1m = £14.6m So the British media are rounding it to the nearest million in pounds sterling and saying £15m.

Paolo Bandini, talkSPORT's Italian football expert, tells Southampton supporters what they can expect from new signing Pablo Osvaldo... http://talksport.com/football/bandini-osvaldo-tremendous-signing-southampton-13081956209

That would be after tax.

Southampton don't mention the fee, Roma have now released a statement on their website giving away the details... "The A. S. Rome S.p.A. announces that it has signed an agreement with the Southampton Football Club for the outright sale of the rights to the player Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, along with the recognition of an amount of 15.1 million euro. The agreement also provides for the recognition of a variable fee, up to a maximum of € 2 million for bonuses linked to the achievement by the Players' Club and the English of certain athletic goals." http://www.asroma.it/en/news/corporate_osvaldo_eng/ http://www.asroma.it/pdf/corporate/operazioni_di_mercato/2013_-08_-_18_osvaldo.pdf So it seems its an initial €15.1m (£12.8m), rising to €17.1m (£14.6m) depending on appearances/goals/club achievements.
