BBC Radio Solent Twitter... #saintsfc Nigel Adkins has just told solentsport that Alex Chamberlin trained today and will be on the coach tomorrow for Exeter. 53 seconds ago

It was based on some facts. Arsene Wenger, Damian Comoli and Alex Ferguson have all been shown publicly to be interested with Chamberlain. However all the written press completely ignored the interview in December when Nicola Cortese (backed with the financial security of the club being owned by the estate of a billionaire) said that Chamberlain won't be sold. None the less the media continued with the story and are now shown to be wrong. Many newspaper reports also contained significant factual errors and inaccuracies.

How about reading post 2, 3, 6 and 7 in this thread?

You can't really compare Blackpool in a 16k seater stadium with Saints in a 32k seater stadium and the estate of a billionaire. Saints when in the Premier League again will be a very different proposition to Blackpool in the transfer market.

No, we haven't made a bid for him. Rocket Swanie on BBC 606 forums where this rumour came from hasn't got one single rumour correct in his many years of trying! The Saints club spokesman on Twitter denies it and has laughed at Rocket Swanie rumours in the past...

Is this a new Alpine I see before me? A more positive one?

He has been mentioned a lot in this thread... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6712335,00.html

Brighton's top scorer has a mere 2 goals more than Lambert, yet to you call them struggling?. Barnard and Lambert have both shown they are more than capable of scoring over 20 (and in Lambert's case 30) goals in this league. Saints are one of the highest scoring teams this season and have the 2nd best defensive record.

tbf Rocket Swanie is an odd one.

4) 30 days into the window Alex Chamberlain is still here playing for Adkins.

Did you miss the bit when Saints made 3 signings during this transfer window and tied a 4th to a long term contract?

I don't know the date yet, but it will be a few weeks after the window closes (possibly even March). The data update will be done relatively soon but the final the patch for FM11 needs to be made and tested with the new data. There are a few unofficial January window data updates you could use until the official one comes out.

They have however got big earning John Utaka off the wage bill, maybe they will use some of that to bring in some free transfers (if allowed to).

Absolute nonsense.

A league which contain's Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham etc academies.

Scholes can't tackle. Schneiderlin has learnt how to.

I agree, he broke up numerous attacks and passed the ball very well from his anchor role.

Can you really blame Cortese for not giving Le Tissier "freebies" when Matt has slagged him off numerous times in the press? If I were Cortese I wouldn't be giving Matt any freebies, and I like Le Tiss as you can tell by my username.

More importantly, they will probably miss any goals by showing adverts breaks instead. Or doing "arty" closeups and not keep up with the action, quickly to cut to it just after something happens at the other end of the pitch. ITV Sport production really is a shambles. Thankfully I don't have to watch it as I'm going to the game, but I may Sky+ it to watch later.

Hardly comparable 3rd tier clubs to Saints though are they?

Cortese said Chamberlain won't be sold. It is hard for Cortese to say and mean that if there is a minimum fee release clause which takes it out of his hands. Thus it is unlikely that one exists.
