Yet still sold that player......

Is the club run for the fans this week or not?

I week to go then. Let's hope there's lots of incoming next week.

Except we've signed two players for £17 already this summer. Making us around 7th biggest spenders, with more to come. Tyre kickers run a miles when we get a price you don't have talk some nonsense.

His question was do we have one of the top 5 academies in Europe.

That's not fair, Ashton was a decent player.

That goes without saying. I expect them to be waved in Greg Dykes face as we hand him the dossier whilst we chant Turn off the tap Turn off the tap Greg dyke turn off the tap In traditional saints/sloop john b style

"Turn off the Tap" will be going viral on twitter. Watch this space.

I'd rather that we exited both cups early and concentrated on finishing 12th. We can then build for next season where we can aim for 7th again.

Dont worry everyone, i'm compiling a dossier of evidence of all the tapping up of our players that has gone on this summer and will presenting it to Greg Dyke in a march from St Marys to Lancaster Gate before the next England game. It's part of the "turn off the tap" Campain that i'll be selling T-shirts for. Who is with me??

Where are the mods? Why aren't they taking action against people dereailing the thread? I come on here for news and dont want to read pages of drivel. If Jimmy D was on duty he'd have locked this thread by now.

He properly bit the other day when he tweeted something about an hour after everyone else had, made out he's been down a cave in Somerset without wifi.

Nor do you my thirsty friend, nor do you.

What on earth are you going on about?

At what age did you start supporting saints and why?

Plenty have followed saints in the past without Cortese and his champions league dream. Why do fans of 87 clubs in the country who have no chance of playing in the champions league bother? If you don't know the answer and If you want titles support Man City.

Why on earth do you hate to agree with me?

Comparing him with khedira is far less daft than saying if Lallana is worth £25m then Morgan is worth £35m

okay, Schinderlin is worth £35m and not a penny less. Ings is being quoted at £8m he has a year left on his contract so he must be worth £15m if he had longer.

when he moved from Stuttgart to Madrid 4 years ago (yes i know it was 4 years ago) he was still a German international and "only" cost 14m Euros.

Surely we'd do our due dilligence before making a bid. Sound his agent out if he'd be open to a move, what fee would they want, how much he'd want, speak to people at the selling club when we make an enquiry so we dont waste time on a player whose wages/fee is well beyond what we are willing to go to. I would be amazed and very disapointed if this didn't happen and we plucked a figure of the sky and hoped they'd accept it.

He's an excellent player but Khaderia who plays in a simliar positon, plays for Real Madrid and has a world cup winners medal was being touted around at just below £20m.

I get the whole thing of not offering what people want first but it seems a pretty pointless excercise to make a bid you know full well isn't going to be accepted. It's not like FM where you click a button and if they say no click a couple more and make a new bid with 20 seconds. Also Celtic are well within their rights to demand top whack for him. Good young keeper who is a key player for them.

"Dorkish" called this one a long time ago. It's a farce when you can have Chelsea loaning players to Everton and Liverpool. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?46651-The-Loan-system
