Do you not believe their OS then? You seem to have doubts...

It was more than £750k. http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/page/LatestHeadlines/0,,10413~2388780,00.html Burnley had a seven figure bid turned down, they announced today. Plus "personal terms, which would have been considerably out of line with the club's rigid pay structure".

I'm not the one that started a thread about it.

Anyone in the world can edit Wikipedia, I could go on it now and edit that article to say he is signing for Eastleigh. It is not a credible source.

Kelvin is the club captain, Dean is the team captain. There is a difference.

I think many on here would consider that a more frightening prospect for you than I.

With no new Saints shirt for Jack to hold aloft, the club can recycle this...

I'll do it... - Lambert new long term contract - Lallana new long term contract - Adkins new long term contract - Martin new long term contract - Chamberlain still here - Massive recruitment drive in academy, medical, sports science, commercial and coaching staff - Club to be one of the few in England with category one academy status (that costs a huge amount of money to do) - 15 new 1st year scholars, some of a very high potential - Bid for Cork made weeks ago (before Under 21's and Jack's holiday afterwards, deal now concluded) - Bid for Sharp of £3.25m, indicated money available - Training ground costing 3x as much as the plans originally laid out before Markus' death

The author of that article is the Chelsea researcher for Football Manager and an employee of Sports Interactive. He knows his stuff, especially about youth football.

A new first choice striker is very likely by the end of the window, given the club has already confirmed it made one £3.25m bid for one this summer. Adkins clearly thinks he needs a striker.

Lallana Schneiderlin Cork Chamberlain Could be quite a midfield!

I think a far more reliable source than a random Burnley fan on a forum is that the Burnley FC Official spokesman said that he believes Jack Cork is going to Saints.

Not a fact at all. Seems to be a myth that has built as to what he wore that day and used against his character. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70xt5Q_pS4s You can criticise Puncheon for a lot of things, but for the service he wore black shoes, black office trousers and a black shirt (without a tie). Not as smart as the other 1st team players, but still "smart".

A Saints scarf probably.

Which of Lallana or Chamberlain would you drop?

No clues in this article... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2388354,00.html

Why does it mater that it is a NPC club? The quality of the player is what matters (I'm not saying Matt Mills is worth £5m btw). Bale and Walcott were both Championship players when they were sold for over £5m each. Were they not worth it? If anything, they went far too cheaply.

Actually they have already put them all on... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Pro-GraduateList/

Not that it matters because he isn't coming here, but Riise is 30 years old - not "well above 30".

Bellamy and Yakubu were on loan. They were still receiving 100% of their wages in their Everton and Man City contracts. Yakubu this summer doesn't look like he will go back to Leicester on a permanent deal as they don't want to pay his wages, despite Sven-Göran Eriksson being the manager. Bellamy wanted to play for his boyhood club on loan to get them to the Premier League and was still being paid his full wage.

Doncaster average 11k S****horpe average 6k S****horpe's budget was tiny compared to every other Championship club (including Doncaster). They have crowds that would fit in as a mid table League One team or top of League Two team, yet that season they were competing with Newcastle, Sheff Weds, Derby, Forest etc. Nor did the owner put in much cash.
