Matthew Le God

He is also wearing the same Saints tie as Adkins and Sibley do. He is just a club official, not a potential signing.

Unlikely he got from Burnley to Southampton in the hour and a half between the Burnley vs Watford game finishing at 5pm and that photo being taken at 6:30pm. And then decided to put on a suit and Saints tie like all behind scenes staff wear. He is most likely someone behind the scenes in Cortese's team.

Barnsley Player seems to do 90 minutes videos of every game, so come next Sunday we should be able to watch the match in full using our Saints Player logins. Their away game against Nottingham Forest was uploaded today in full as have been their pre-season games.

That is what I thought. Rodriguez makes sense as a signing, not sure we need Fox though.

Journalist: "The last thing you want on the day of the game is speculation about some of your players. Jay (Rodriguez) and Danny Fox linked to Southampton this morning." Eddie Howe: "Yeah, I heard on that. But I don't know anything about it. So... (long pause from Eddie and an "interesting" look) its not ideal." You can watch the interview using your Saints Player login. http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/articles/20110806/player-howe-on-watford-draw_2265218_2412299/0,,10413~2412299~1,00.html

Useless trivia = She went to Millbrook School.

The opening post doesn't seem to be in English, as I have no idea what you are saying.

11 years and counting so far...

Yes, he went of with an injured left ankle after a challenge in the West Brom friendly.

That doesn't make sense. If Saints had signed him in the summer, he wouldn't have played Brighton today and wouldn't have that injury.

Why would they inform those that "help with the website", the details of the club's transfer strategy? Does that not ring alarm bells that it may be ********? They will be telling the tea lady at the academy how much they are selling Fabregas for next...

If they were in a strong financial position they would have held out for more than £3m for Eagles and Mears, Premier League club bidding or not.

Do you have an example of a question about Saints I have failed to answer?

So you have no counter argument to them? May as well delete this thread then, if you don't agree with your own opening post!

Looks like that is a "no". Too awkward to answer?

Are you going to answer my questions Roger?

They sold two of their best players recently, Eagles and Mears for a combined fee of £3m. They lost out to us on Cork. Any decent bid for any of their players and they will go.

A few questions...

It was only a few years ago that the Football League changed to seven subs. Up until the 2009/10 season is was 5 subs, 7 subs was only used in the Football League for two seasons. I very much doubt Adkins will risk not having a proper keeper on the bench, he didn't do that at S****horpe.

In the last minute...

Joseph Mills played for Preston North End on trial earlier in pre-season, whilst still a Saints player.

QPR website doesn't list the subs (yet)... http://www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~2411589,00.html

He is 100% a real high level agent. He helped advise SEGA/SI with Football Manager when they introduced agents into the game. He definitely has contacts that will give him access to this "kind of information".
