I'm far from convinced Butland is the answer, Astoria sounds like he'd be an excellent signing though.

No but a bit of gratitude for the sage advice I gave you two years ago would be nice. Keep up this spoilt, ungrateful behaviour and your bird will be off getting pounded by someone else before you can say 'is it really worth it' and we'll be back to square one this time next year.

They get the money at the start of the window to spend on their own targets?

There are no maybes about it. Two years ago you were drunkenly whinging that your life was crap on new years eve, now you've done something about it, changed your job and got a bird. So by making an effort and not sitting sround bleating about it your life is better. I like to think that in a small way I may have helped with this.

I fancy one of those now.

Well you're contradicting yourself as you've made the effort to change career and get a bird and life is better for it, yes? You've made progress haven't you. Maybe your laziness, lack of motivation and woe is me attitude were the reason why life wasnt worth the effort and you were whinging how terrible it was two years ago.

Likewise. So is life now all that? What progress have you made in the last year?

This sounds like an excellent plan sir.

I thought you'd be flattered I am taking an interest in the progress of your life. Tsk, no pleasing some people.

As it is the most over priced and over rated night of the year I'll be staying in with a bottle of wine and watching Jools Holland and other stuff. Ill leave paying to get into pubs and double priced drinks and taxis to all the helmets who want to have the compulsory crazy time.

In all seriousness £5m is a joke figure. Bale cost £10m with add ones (well he would have if we werent in the sh*t) at the same age 6 years ago having only played in Thr championship. £12-£15m is the minimum figure. It's crazy but that seems to be the going rate.

Rodriguez is starting to show why we brought him to the club, been very good his last few games. Will be first choice striker before too long.

Well I'm looking forward to this years installment.........

They finished 3rd last season, so are you saying that their group of players should have produced better results by finishing above Man U and Man City? Or did their coaches and manager get them to finish above teams who Prehaps have better or t least equal squads?

Do they? Please explain how a pompous deluded old man sitting behind his computer in Southampton would know which players Man United, City, Chelsea etc are chasing.

Are you seriously using 5th placed Arsenals supposed inconsistent form as evidence their coaches are WORSE than 18th placed Saints?

No chance,they've not even had a meaningful shot.

He is significantly better than we have.

Who remembers the day we were 3-0 down with 20 mins to o at home to Liverpool at the Dell, pulled It back to 3-3.

Butland is not what we need. We need a confident, experienced goalkeeper.

He also flapped at loads of crosses and was at fault with the second goal, along with Guly.

To be fair If they did survive he'd deserve it. It would be incredible given how poor they look.

If he does go I think we can safely say that talk of being an established premier league side with 50% of the squad being academy players is nothing more than fanciful talk.
