Told or read it on Twitter?

Pretty sure that they don't announce a sell out if they haven't. What they normally do is announce all standard seating gone then push the remaining hospitality. Ofcourse because of the anomlies of what and what's not available and how many aways have been sold. The attendance of a technically sold out game could in theory be lower than one that is not.

They'll want to be paid more than that to persuade them to watch that sh!t (and I don't mean the Monkey Hangers).

Don't think he would have made that decision if he had been offered a contract back when Fonte was.

He's also running for FIFA presidency. http://www.football-italia.net/61646/raiola-%E2%80%98confirms-fifa-candidacy%E2%80%99

I agree with this and he's moving for the right reasons IMO but to say he's no loss is completely wrong!

After Tadic's last effort I'd put him on pens anyway!!

I don't get this, "only a squad player" Football these days is very much a squad game and if we are to qualify for Europe, we need a deeper squad. I think we'll do well to get a better "squad player" than Jack Cork.

Wasn't he out injured for just about the whole of Burnley's last PL season?

Maybe this is one of the marketing opportunities that Ralph was on about. The "Chester" Way ® under licence from Southampton FC.

My concern is that any replacement is likely to be yet another loan. It is alright to get these players with a view to a permanent move in the summer but we certainly run the risk of being guzumped. We could end up having to build a completely new team for the second summer running.

Agree with this. Especially as back up to Morgan.

Yes but it has to be done before 11pm Monday if at all!!

Many a good night spent in there, after Ocean Village had kicked out. Used to use it before matches the first few seasons at St Mary's.

I heard Netto are making a comeback but the sign would just say "O" cause they can't find the net!!

So 4 times in the last 55 years, they have a larger average attendance that us? Massive club!!

I remember that. Somebody printed about 500 counterfeit tickets. No holograms back then!!

I was there, went in the back of a Luton van IIRC, no minibuses to be had anywhere.

Like most of us, he's still got the "typical Saints' fan" feeling that it's bound to go t!ts up at any moment!

This is the team I would play. We're looking a little short of alternatives TBH.

Sorry, I don't buy this! The guy is doing what any one of us would do, weighing up his options. The club have messed Corky about with this contract offer so they can't have it both ways. I for one, think and hope he will sign but I wouldn't be that surprised if he turned around and said thanks but no thanks and tried his luck elsewhere.

Obviously Lost Sole Saint was kept out of the "club"

If we sign anyone it will either be somebody in our longterm plans or a 6 month loan.

Or Eurosport to see him stretchered off the other night!!

He was very rusty yesterday but he is not "hopeless!"
