To be fair it would probably be his last move so he has every right to see if there are other suiters worth considering, I just hope the club are giving him the red carpet treatment so he knows he'll be wanted here.

Burnley especially seeing as ings will be with us within a couple of weeks.

Most of us are adults, it'll more "PokeYaMum" than Pokemon

Just because we have the funds it doesn't mean we should just go straight in with the asking price, I'm glad we're still bartering for players otherwise all our future bargaining powers will be non existent. People need to stop panicking, it's day 2 of pre-season.

Maybe not making the World Cup was a humbling experience for him and he has a had a good hard look at himself. If he can accept that he is an employee of Southampton FC and can apologise for how he's been and try and get on with the rest of the squad (that's still here) I don't see why he can't integrate back in. Time is a healer after all.

:lol::lol:

Nah, New era for saints, exciting times.

Can't you see he's doing Steve McLaren.

Maybe it's McGoldrick we should be getting 25m for.

Maybe the odd gem that comes through doesn't make a whole squad, or team.

I know footballers are rich but even they can't get their hands on that sort of money and there's no way United will be able to gift it to him whilst he's another teams player so I can't believe this to be the case surely.

Fair point, it's investment for the future with Shaw I suppose in that case so still a large amount of money would have to change hands.

I'd be happy with Neville, excellent knowledge of the game. If he brought in some intelligent coaches around him then he could succeed. It's not like he's had the joys of domestic coaching to say he cant be without it and needs games every day like Mourinho states.

If the top teams need to fill their home grown quota then they have to pay the premium, or, and this might be a mental idea, they can invest heavily in their youth system like Saints do and bring through their own young English talents. If they want to sit back and cherry pick the talents that other clubs spend a lot of time producing then I have no sympathy, I say go for 50m for Shaw and see if they pay it.

Apart from he could've saved the second goal if he was brave and stood tall and didn't limbo under the ball, probably scared it might take some hairs out and he couldn't do the head and shoulders adverts anymore.

I thought Johnson was one of our best players tonight. Why no centre back decided to stick up Suarez ass I'll never know. I was pleased with hodgson as manager but now I think he's a bottler who went with his faves from the top of the league. Shame.

Love none of the pundits dare blame Gerrard or Roy for bottling it with his team selection. Its all about one man beating us but if we played better that one man wouldn't beat us and I don't recall Suarez stopping our shiz forward line from scoring

Mate have you any news regarding incoming players? Love the info but being less cryptic would be great for a tired head like mine cheers

A draw would probably be ok but I would like Costa Rica to try and get at least a point against Italy so they won't take their foot off the pedal against Uruguay, if Italy get to 6 points I can see them relaxing a bit in their last game. A win for England, draw for Costa and the final games will be well exciting! I would stick Rooney in the middle and Sterling out right cutting in, unlike Rooney he can play anywhere. Tempted to say get Shaw in there to run at the Uruguayans back line as I think he could terrorise them a bit more with his pace. If Suarez does start then stick someone on him and knacker him out and frustrate him. Looking forward to this game more than other England games in recent history.

Aprart from winning the league

Someone dumped 160 quid into betfair at 1.2 on Manchini and someone snapped it up straight away! What an idiot unless he knows something.

Interesting about Mancini, 2 days ago he stated he was staying at Galatasaray for next season. Also on Betfair, over the last 15 minutes Rene Girard's name was added and 10 quid was laid and snapped up at 5.2. Manchini isn't availabee on Betfair yet but will keep an eye out to see if he's added.

Very sad news, was one of the best comedians on the tv when I was growing up, seen him live a few times on the Bottom tour and I've never laughed so much, especially when they mess it up and they improvise. Saw him a couple of years ago at the mayflower doing a B'stard type character and he still had it. I had a bottle of Bombardier Colonel's Choice, 6% of loveliness. Cheers for the laughs Rik, always up there as one of the bests for me.
