I think you'll find it was me that recommended him, I even posted about It along with a copy of the email I sent to the club all those years a go. Who'd have thought 'dorkish' would be scouting £25m players. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-47224.html

Saints are right to follow 'showcase club' path to progress
Turkish replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
credit it where it's due young man, that's a pretty good article. As for the subject matter, it's the only way we are going to succeed. We cant afford to match the big boys of for the top talent so we need to get them early or a few rough diamonds, The best ones will go to the top clubs for big money, then reinvest the money to find the next one. I'd certainly much rather be a showcase club than a club which takes expensive faliures that are out to pasture. -
"Connor Armstrong is reporting" I think you mean Connor Armstrong tweeted something he read elsewhere on Twitter.

"You are only making a fool of yourself mate" Said the bloke who thinks he ain't making a fool of himself, who created a login and is getting oh so angry on another clubs forum trying to convince everyone how big his club are.

What a vile, arrogant club Feyehampton are. Why do they think they can just pick off our players as and when it suits them? They should develop their own. I don't mind Claise leaving but to anyone but them. They got our manager and our centre forward now they're taking the p*ss. Feyehampton clearly lack the imagination to develop their own strategy and system so they are stealing ours. Horrible arrogant club with deluded fans.

What bit about two clubs had a bid in with one club for one of their players and that player chose one club over the other are you struggling with pal?

If your boyfriend/husband f*cks off with bother women would you thank him for all the effort he had put into your relationship, hope he is happy with his new piece and you can feel this way as you knew that he was always going to leave you once a more attractive woman showed a bit of interest in him?

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I remember reading a forum once of a league one club that claimed that Had only ever finished in the top 4 of the top flight once in their history. Yet many, many of their fans were indignant that they were on an unstoppable march to the champions league. That their fan base catchment area covered everything south of the line from Liverpool, through Birmingham to London. That they needed a 50,000 stadium to fit all their fans in that were going to watch their team of brilliant academy graduates who would never leave the club sweeping all before them as they destroyed every club between here and Babylon with their brand of Soccerball.

When villa finished 6th 3 years in a row they lost Milner, young, downing, Barry, Friedel as well as other squad players like Curtis Davies, zag knight that could do jobs. Everton have lost Lescott, Arteta, Rodwell, Fellaini in recent seasons, Swansea Bony, Allen, Sinclair, Davies, Vorm, But let's ignore that and pretend it only happens to us.

Now Les Reed knows how it feels not to have someone return your phone calls.

Possible scenario. Spurs want to sign Suarez from Madrid. So levy IS in Madrid and is trying to do a deal, but not for Alderwiereld, but for Suarez. Both sides have been using his presence in Madrid to put pressure onto saints to screw as much money out of us as they can. levy helps out Madrid by letting everyone in the media think he wants Alderwiereld as well, in return he gets a smooth transaction for his man, Madrid use the spurs 'interest' to drive a higher price with Saints. levy gets his man, Madrid get more cash from us, its a winner for both of them.

You don't get this in football manager do you pal.

Do Saints need to sell to bring anyone else in?
Turkish replied to Mouldy Coat's topic in The Saints
First off its Brett, secondly I think he actually said don't expect any big money/marquee signings this summer which given our last marque signing cost us £2m a game I can live with. -
Hearh for worst feeling For worst goal Leon bests OG in the play ofd second leg at derby.

Surely your statement begs the question if we are so brilliant why do so many of our players jump at the chance to join them? better than Saints in that we have never, ever finished above them. So despite by your own admission that they are bigger, richer more successful and have been for every single year of the 130 years we've been in existence you're making total sense as usual Les.

Calling MLG and Redslo to the fourm to tells us how realistic it really is.
-
If the figures are right and osvaldo has cost us £25m then the amount of money wasted by the peoples chairman must be getting near on £100m. A similar figure for Ramirez, plus the other not so expensive failures like Mayuka and Forren, the over spending to the tune of £15-£20m on the training ground and the off shore loans, legal costs as well as his own wage and expenses which put him up there with the best paid chairmen in the county. Add in the lack of income he was generating then the picture isn't pretty. I remember the days when people used to insist he was a great businessman, let's hear the case for that now.

Strange signing and an expensive mistake. when you factor in his wages and transfer fee each game must have cost us about £2m. Who is to blame is another matter. The default view is that Pochentino wanted him, however it was clear when he came here he wanted to be the main man and play up front as the lone striker. When you look at his apperances that rarely happened, often our style or formation was changed to accomodate him and Lambert, If Pochetino had signed him then you'd expect him to back his man and give him a run in the side in his best postion. Les Reed has actively distanced himself from this shambles so with the fact that Osvaldo was a nail in his coffin then you can only look as far as Cortese. This is what happens when a man with no football knowledge tries playing a real life game of football manager. Yet another expensive mistake from our much lauded former CEO.

Can you also name drop and credit all the twitter user accounts you've nicked info off over the years and passed off as your own. Thanks in advance.

Another thread derailed by the trolls. Our reputation is at stake here, we don't want to become a laughing stock with fans dragging our club same through the gutter with their trimly appearance or even worse, attempts at wacky behaviour. Its no wonder this place is going down the pan.

We haven't had a clothes thread for a while, not since our promotion to the premier league so with Europe on the horizon I think its time the most stylist among us imparted some advice so the rest of you don't embarrass us with your lack of style and poor grooming. Remember everyone, you club and city are now representing ourselves across Europe, there is a very real chance we could be rubbing shoulders with some very well dressed fans, so its time to raise our game. Remember even if we have to go to small Eastern Europe City or country you don't have to dress like you're from there! We obviously don't want fancy dress, no clown suits, road cone hats etc and We don't want to see any shirts over hoodies and in the early stages in hotter climates no three quarter length shorts or nasty Lonsdale style velco strapped trainers. My wardrobe is Pretty much sorted for the qualifiers, I'm presuming wherever we go its going or be warm so got myself a couple of moncler polo shirts, which I'll team with some chino shorts and a pair of superga trainers. So what will you be wearing? If any of you need any advice do not hesitate to ask.

Adios Morgan. One of the most overrated players we've ever had. In the championship was arguably third choice behind Hammond and Cork, In league one Couldn't get in the team ahead of Wotton and Chaplow. Doesnt score anywhere near enough, rarely passes forward always sideways and backwards. No coincidence that he looks better once we signed Wanyama. Will spend his time on the bench watching an over the hill Carrick but at least his wallet will be thicker. We've mugged Man United again, £54m for an overrated stroppy frog who only passes sideways and a fat full back who can't cross
