A Sensible one from Fruity. They're not all dinlos. You are pretty much defending the player. What are definite facts is that he signed a long term contract recently and now wants to leave. In any profession I can understand someone wanting to go onto better things, but if he played for us and was doing that I would be calling him a cock. If Coutinho suddenly starts coming out with statements about how "he wants to go to Barca and his head is not in the right place and wants to better his career" blah blah blah, then he would be getting torn apart on here. Southampton want to keep him to his contract. That's fair enough. I would rather he joined us but if they hold him to his contract I think good on them. And I hope we do the same with Coutinho.

Who have we got better that can play? Strange comment.

How is he going to deal with things? The only thing he can do is to tell VvD to stop being a ***t and get playing for saints. He can't tell us to sell him, who does he think he is? He's nothing to Saints.

Thought he'd get the 6, maybe it's that bargaining chip to get a new defender over the line. I'm sure it's as important as the millions they'll be earning.

Even if it's a view to trade (I don't know if this bet is on Betfair though) With each passing day with no bids accepted the price will drop.

Enjoyed reading that, thanks. I think a lot of fans should read the part regarding the squad limitations, especially those banging on about ambition and needing to sign players with a complete lack of understanding that the squad is full and players need to be sold first.

I quite liked it. It's worth it for getting rid of Maggie May.

We've had a couple like that, Bertrand being the prime example so hopefully with a decent run in a team he'll be an excellent signing.

Yep, agree.

A sensible post.

Yep, it's the clubs fault, poor VvD.

oh yeah.

Davy Propper seems a decent signing for Brighton.

Nice to hear that the club has rebuffed every offer. I'm sure the club will come out and say that if anyone matches our valuation he will go otherwise he will stay and be fined for every match he refuses to play in.

Didn't he refuse to play in matches, not training. What an arrogant pr1ck, upset at being fines two weeks wages, bless him. Flog him to Chelsea, proper w4nker.

Shush

That's why I got a bit excited when posted Lemina has flown into a southern airport. Looks like we're going to sign a first teamer. Great stuff

Nice. Don't know how you know and that doesn't matter but for me this is quality confirmation.

Good to keep the graduates and invest in them. He needs to improve to be a regular though, he looked pretty poor on Wednesday but so did everyone.

Yeah this. With no actual quality football going on it would be nice to have an out of the blue signing of someone decent.

I wonder is Fraser is of a weak mind thinking the number 1 made him have a bad season... Dont need any attacking players so surprised to see Gabi not take 9, hopefully number 6 will be a solid defender or midfielder.

Lallana out for a couple of months could have some sort of knock on effect. If they sell coutinho as well which could be doubtful now, they'll need to spend their money on attacking players.

Yawn.

Should help with signings.
