A player can't be loaned if he isn't contracted to a club. You need to be owned by someone, to be loaned to someone else. A "free transfer loan" is an oxymoron. There is a transfer window for free transfers, which is longer than that of the normal transfer window and is similar to that of the loan window.

What about the 5 page thread about it near the top of the forum? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?30657-Saints-to-host-Markus-Liebherr-Memorial-Tournament

That doesn't really make sense as a question.

Translation...

His company logo... http://www.mali-group.com/ MArkus LIebherr I guess his nickname may have been "bear". Due to his size?

ffs It is a clue as to what the logo of the Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup logo looks like. Quite a big clue in fact! Does Arsenal's badge or kit look like this? It is just a logo to help advertise an annual pre-season tournament!

Normally announced towards the end of July each year. In the two years of Cortese running the club... 2010/11 31st July http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2105285,00.html 2009/10 23rd July http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1730909,00.html I would guess they may possibly announce them on 20th or 21st July this year, so that the kit launch allows people to get the name/number they want that day.

It is a crudely drawn photoshop effort. Look closely at it (particularly around the badge) and you can see it isn't real.

But yet you don't think he should be in the matchday 18 squad!

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.

What he offers the team, every touch of the ball... in the Premier League vs Aston Villa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdMhFjcjGO8 in the Championship vs Hull City http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNvOJ3Kqd6c&feature=related

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.
