How can you ruin a thread that had little place to go, due to being based on unsubstantiated rumours?

Nothing in that article provides any real evidence to support a) or b).

That isn't the impression you give in the opening post. In fact you seem quite sure. You have jumped to a lot of conclusions based on unsubstantiated rumours, and then started a thread based on those conclusions.

That isn't a formation from the tactics screen. That is to give you an overview of the rankings of players in your squad in each position. For example if you click on the centre back as they have in the screenshot, it will then list all players in your squad that can play as a centre back and list them in order of how good they are.

See post #76

How do you know with such certainly that.. a) Rodriguez is being considered by Saints as a signing b) Burnley have valued him at £5m c) He isn't worth that (have you seen him play much?)

The interview is already available in full on Saints Player, went up over an hour ago. He doesn't really say a lot apart from his usual cliches and no comment about transfer speculation (which is entirely understandable). http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/20110815/nigels-duel-with-jewell_2264122_2421127/0,,10280~2421127~1,00.html

Seaborne was injured for the Leeds United game. Seaborne was ahead of Martin in the pecking order last season, and it seems it hasn't change this season. Will be interesting to see if Jaidi is still ahead of Seaborne when he returns to full fitness. Last season pecking order for centre backs... 1) Fonte 2) Jaidi 3) Seaborne 4) Martin This season you can't work out positions 2-4 until Jaidi returns, but what we do know is... 1) Fonte ?) Seaborne above Martin ?) Jaidi's place in pecking order unknown apart from it is below Fonte

Saints scout Jakob Friis-Hansen (we think) working his magic again like he may have with Steve De Ridder? Erik Huseklepp in his youtube "best bits" videos... p.s. Erik Huseklepp is very good on FM

Nearly all those screenshots have things you can't do/see in FM11. Don't let the fact the skin is similar confuse you.

You can pre-order it on most online stores already. For example... http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/22857711/Football-Manager-2012/Product.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=football+manager+2012&urlrefer=search You will probably be able to get it cheaper than that though if you shop around.

Where have you got the £10-15m figure from?

Robbie Keane is 9 years older than Jay Rodriguez and Keane will have little sell on value compared to Rodriguez. This is reflected in the transfer values of both players. Plus Keane's wage will be huge in comparison to Saints' current wage structure. He is probably on £60k+ p/w.

Why is Connolly undroppable? If Saints spend £5m plus on a striker as a Championship side, whoever it is (Maynard, Rodriguez etc etc) will be starting most games. Likewise Saints haven't spent £1.8m on a left back whilst in the Championship for him to be not playing. Fox will be the 1st choice left back.

Well the £12m (rising to £15m) from Arsenal certainly helps.

I'm not allowed to say any more than SEGA/SI say publicly about the game.

Exactly that, yes.

Did it? I don't remember that. Also there would have been little reason to sing about David Connolly as he wasn't in the squad for the Torquay game, let alone on the pitch.

Well done to the person that did this!

He wants to feel loved! Even if sung in jest, the "back from the dead" song has a negative tone about it and I understand why he doesn't like it.

I wish people would spell his name correctly. It is Seaborne, not Seabourne. No "u" in his name.

Because he is not in the loop as much as a chairman would be as to what is going on. He apparently also said Mears and Eagles wouldn't be sold and they left soon afterwards earlier this summer.

It is not the chairman on Twitter. It is the club's media spokesman on his personal account.
