There are Saints players on more than £20k p/w. The Japanese press for example reported Tadanari Lee was on £15k p/w in the Championship and had a 50% promotion clause taking him to £23k p/w.

Do you not think that would play a role? Hopefully it doesn't, but a 16 year old sounded out in the national press by the club he supports...

Luke Shaw is a Chelsea fan, which doesn't help matters.

Shouldn't you take each case on its own merits? imo he will be worth a great deal more than £4m in the future and is a future England senior international. Yes, it is a risk as he is young and untested, but that doesn't mean he doesn't already hold value based on potential.

Normally a left back, has been used on the wings, even sometimes on the right wing and cutting inside. Very good cross on him and footballing brain. I imagine Cortese and Adkins will work very hard to keep him, as retaining such players is core to their overall plan for the future. This will tell us a lot if he stays or goes this summer with the big clubs using the media to kick off a transfer battle. Situation is now different from when Bale, Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain left as we now can offer top flight football. Plus in the former two players case, we have less need for the money with Liebherr backing us. Given the amounts Saints have managed for those three, I would also be very surprised and disappointed if Shaw left for just £4m.

I have. Going to jump down my throat for that? Or would you like my opinion on something?

He has signed a professional contract. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2228492,00.html

Pearce would have had to drop one of Bellamy, Giggs or Richards to allow Lallana to be included.

I think you are right, it is currently a huge mess and is losing the club money and customer confidence.

Did you get a confirmation email?

When I did my renewal I got a confirmation email. My dad ordered new tickets an hour ago online and didn't get an email, the order appears in his account history. Has anyone that got tickets today received an email confirmation?

The same could quite easily apply to you. Once again a positive thread has turned into an "attack thread". Others have already pointed this out.

What makes you think that? I'm clearly not that bad on Twitter or I wouldn't have nearly 600 people following me. Yes, some people on this forum don't like me, but a number of people do. I have received a number of good will private messages from other members of this forum about the abuse a certain 5 or 6 posters constantly give me. That might sound like a "world is against me" post, but the actual number of those against me appears relatively small, they are just unrelenting in putting me down for being positive.

Lallana is 24, which means for him to be included they would have to drop one of Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy or Micah Richards.

Accepting people have a different stance on some subject is one thing, a number of people use insulting language against me and break the forums rules regularly to jump down my throat at any opportunity is quite another. Should I have to accept that and "roll with it"?

I didn't say this thread in particular, just in general.

So why haven't you put me on ignore? Or do you enjoy attacking any post I make if it has a shred of positivity about it too much?

If you are thinking I'm going to do that then you are wrong. It is an absolute shambles!

They are hardly small time. http://www.tickets.com/index.html But yes, it is poor service.

Well you could say it is "their fault" for choosing tickets.com, but they should in theory have been a good choice.

Not Saints fault, they are using a ticketing website run by tickets.com

26 people have retweeted my Tweet about this and I've gained over 30 new followers since I posted it, so some people are clearly interested.
