SW5 SAINT

Lol, that's exactly what I thought..........

Don’t forget David Hirst and Perry Groves..........

Lets face it, on the money they earn and the nature of their employment, they should all be at tip top fitness all the time. It beggars belief that any sportsman earning lottery winning style wages wouldn't be. If their not, people are being cheated including themselves......

Poopey 0 Charlton 2, wheels coming off.........

Not sure why anyone still hankers after us beating a top side, I just wish we could beat anyone.......

Sadly I can see 19 better ones......

Indeed, it will be great if he is coveted by the top sides. Providing he joins in the first place of course......

Careful what you wish for.......

I doubt even Pep Guardiola would get much more out of our current bunch of players....

I wonder if we can recall him in January........?

Lol - that is the fact.....

Probably just as well she still has got her 20%, otherwise we would have £200m debt loaded on Southampton......

I thought it was Margaret Thatcher........

I don't think Chester City exist anymore, the phoenix club is just called Chester, and their not in the league anymore......

The trouble is our ability to attract coaches of this calibre disappeared with Cortese, I can't see someone like this being sold a vision by Reed, Krueger, Gao et al...

That’s part of the problem, relegation shouldn’t be a disaster for a football club. It should be part of the natural scheme of things in a sport. However because the PL is now first and foremost big business, it has come to this sad state of affairs.

Jose Mourinho..........?

City buy Gunn back for £25m...........

I thought Pellegrini's contract was reported as £10m a season at the time he signed it......?thus making a £40m compensation bill!!

Let's just hope that Fraser Forster's salary is something similar, all based on appearances and being in the squad etc etc......

It's madness to suggest selling this guy to reinvest. He is worth far more to the team than anything like his transfer value, which I imagine is now probably quite low.....

Trouble is is none of the above is true these days, we break our transfer record on yet another crap record buy, and then ship them out on loan. Eventually writing of the loss. Not a sustainable business model..........

I've been wondering that, as the title of this thread is "Sell Long to reinvest" Probably enough for the right leg of a very average Championship player.......

I think Yazz sang a song about it........

I can see it becoming a bit like Formula 1 (and as boring) with an elite group of clubs playing a round of matches against each other in a different country each week......
