This makes an interesting read... http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://forum.werder.de/&ei=HeoqTsGNCoamhAeD58GqCw&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dwerder%2Bbremen%2Bforum%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den%26prmd%3Divns

No chance, that would require the Kingland, Northam and two corners to be pretty much full. Which it isn't.

It is not black.

I'd say a number of top half teams have become weaker. Cardiff, Burnley, Leeds, Birmingham, Millwall, Forest etc all have (or are in process of) lost some important players that haven't really been replaced with players of equal or better standard.

One of numerous studies in the area... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5327550.stm "Adolescents do not put the part of the brain that considers others' feelings to full use, scientists have found." For "other people" add in Saints fans. Give him some slack.

Why exactly? There have been a huge number of medical studies about how teenage brains deal with decision making differently to fully grown adults. Thus to criticise a child's decision by the same criteria as you would for an adult is a mistake.

I didn't say he did. Because going to the press won't make a jot of difference to whether Cortese accepts a deal or not. All it "seems" to have done is make him lose two weeks wages for breeching the terms of his contract.

He is 17 years old which makes him a child. Even if he was 18/19/20/21 you should still give him leeway. We all made mistakes at that age, decision making part of his brain not fully developed and he has been poorly advised by people he trusts.

Yes, a child. He is 17 years old which makes him a child. Even if he was 18/19/20/21 you should still give him leeway. We all made mistakes at that age, decision making part of his brain not fully developed and he has been poorly advised by people he trusts.

"Immense" in the same way Norwich 2nd, Leeds, 7th and Millwall 8th found it "immense" after promotion from League One?

Remember this? Well it is being built finally! Bad news for Pompey fans is that it is not Pompey that are building it, as the designs are being used by Bordeuax! Mabe Pompey fans can go on a pilgrimage to see what might have been...

So you are happy to boo a child that has made an error of judgement?

Has a team ever had a sponsor that wasn't stuck on and actually part of the shirt fabric?

Well, the majority of signings he made for S****horpe weren't those he had worked with before. A few he had on loan and then signed, but most were new to the club. At S****horpe he also didn't have the budget he has at Saints, the pulling power or a European scouting team able to provide him with players.

Not exclusively though, and certainly not enough to jump to the conclusion you have.

Every team the size of Saints would have a large number of people involved with a transfer. The management/Les Reed/coaches/European Scout team/Cortese etc etc would all be involved. I would be hugely surprised if Adkins didn't want De Ridder. He would have been proposed to Adkins by the scouting department after he told them to look for a winger, Adkins would then give his approval and the ultimate decision would be Cortese as he signs the cheques. By no means does that make it "not an Adkins signing".

Based on what exactly?

Or Puncheon, N'Guessan and Mills.

The problem with Agustin Delgado wasn't his ability, he was clearly a very good player. For example he was the top goal scorer in the 2002 South American World Cup qualifying campaign. It was his attitude and injury problems that made his stay at Saints a nightmare.

He is number 33.
