Matthew Le God

I'm not even sure he will be 3rd choice. Kelvin Davis + a new keeper will be 1st and 2nd choice. The only other keeper is Chris Johns and he hasn't had a senior game and is very young so wouldn't count if Saints wanted to bring in an emergency keeper on loan at any point during the season (loan window or not it doesn't matter with keepers).

You'd see a lot more if you got a season ticket.

About 10 or 11 for a newly promoted team, which just happens to be the same as Saints had in 2011/12 in the Championship.

What is your definition of "longest serving"? From their first 1st team appearance?

That is not true.

Will be hard to sell him because no other club will match the wages he has at Saints, so it is in his interest to sit out the remaining year on his contract.

When Saints were last in the Premier League, Gareth Bale was 15 years old and still at school.

Was £150k according to documents released by their administrator. Quite a bargain tbh!

Why is that so hard to believe? It appears Saints made bids not far short of that (transfer fee wise) for Rodriguez and Hooper whilst in the Championship, without Premier League TV money to call on. Those kinds of transfer fees and wages are quite common for mid table Premier League sides.

In theory they should, if the Football League do or not is an entirely different matter.

Chainrai back = [video=youtube;WxW6t8-1UA8] ...until he gets his £18 million (or as close as he can to £18 million) back.

Why "dream on"? Especially in the case of Matthew Jarvis.

Put me on the top of the released list.

24th January 2010 at Glanford Park, S****horpe, North Lincolnshire. Adkins is even wearing a S****horpe tie! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/8468696.stm

This is very much an "on topic" subject rather than a lounge one and is being debated in the main forum. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?38025-Saints-Retained-List

Why would Saints want any of them?

Unless he offers 100p in the £ then it is diluting the 2010 CVA with a 2012 CVA and a huge points penalty is surely on its way from the Football League in League One.

All clubs are obliged to release their lists six weeks before the 30th June(when players contracts generally end) so that those players that are released can talk to other clubs.

Because his contract runs out on 30th June 2013. The list tomorrow is for those out of contract in June 2012 that have been offered a deal deal, those that aren't are released to find new clubs.

How does it? Neither of us are employees of the club, we just happen to support the same club (probably through fluke of birth), my actions should not reflect on you in the same way yours don't on me.

How am I embarrassing "us" on Twitter? Merely supporting the same 11 men running round a field doesn't mean my actions represent you or any other Saints fan.

I wasn't being entirely serious.

No abuse yet (maybe they agree with my points?), all it has done is given me a few more Saints fans as followers tonight. So if you are reading this, cheers Neil Allen!
