If Barca can get away with giving messi growth hormones I think we should start putting it in our under 21 midfielders food.

hahahhahaa how much space did that guy have

I also noticed that we seem to be trialling some lilliputians in midfield

year fairplay he should have a shot at goal he can kick it miles.

Notice the last 15mins i've seen Stekelenburg is always kicking up field rather than playing it out from the back, hence the ball comes right back

These 2 are mustard

I really don't think the physical side is a worry, when the EPL was really bad Dennis Wise thrived amongst giants as his will to win at all costs overrode his physical attributes. Football has evolved since then and judging on the 10 or so feyanoord games I watched this season for about 12mil Clasie is a steal and a captain in waiting for the team if needed. With regards to Morgan every player is part of the story and I think his part has come to an end. He has behaved as a professional and we should do everything we can to ensure that he is accommodated in his desire to join a CL club as long as an offer in the ball park is made.

Minus the slaggy wife and football ability. To be fair the dutch footballers are more ethical than our one's, they aren't just money driven they have to believe in the project etc

Preach brother preach. Neville Chamberlain has nothing on Saint Charlie - appeasement 101

Get him for the pre-contract price and spend the delta on his signing on fee and wages to match/beat what spurs could offer if they bought him for 14mil I'd go the swansea approach to signing on fee's for Toby

Trust me I watched that entire game (think it was on a sunday before one of our games) and he was fantastic hence pulling out that youtube clip summary. If i was to pull out a highlights video it would of been even more immense.(sod it I just have) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHN0C7AkRYU I think for 15m euro's his age and ability it really isn't much of a risk considering Koeman has worked with him before. Maybe its been agreed and he will play both sides for Feyanoord v Southampton friendly as a farewell (they seem very very big on farewells in holland - Toby/Daley Blind and the above game and Koemans send off at Feyanoord). Anyway him and Wijinaldum would make me very happy for 25mil.

just because

Yeah the BASED bit is a give away he's guessing Ben Fairthorne ‏@BFairthorne Jun 28 Arsenal not had the interest expected in Schneiderlin. Based on previous 2 seasons, one expects he has somebody else lined up. Ben Fairthorne ‏@BFairthorne Jun 20 Both Carvalho and Schnneidein on Wenger's hit list. Personally think MS would be the better option.

Ben Fairthorne ‏@BFairthorne Jun 28 United have agreed fee with Saints & personal terms with Schneiderlin. Wasn't LVG's first choice but good long term replacement for Carrick. Maybe its done and we are trying to secure our deals before it comes out ?

Went and found this match for those that are interested in how Jordy Clasie plays and if he is "big" enough for the EPL as he hacks and gets hacked here and delivers consistent corners something we have been lacking, also I forgot he man marked Messi in the 2nd half of the world cup semi final, his 1st appearance of the tournament. I watched this game and he was fantastic and was everywhere dragging the rest of the team with him looking for the winning goal. Good scout report as well on how he would be a great buy for us - http://www.thefootyblog.net/2015/01/26/jordy-clasie-could-be-classy-buy-for-southampton/

Claise being linked to Man U across a few sources now. http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/transfer-talk/news/jordy-clasie-on-man-utd-radar_231377.html

Thats still 480k

They are on the way to becoming Sunderland and Newcastle, history is all they now have left.

There is only one fact we can only be sure of

Dani's just heard the news from Les Reed

According to reports in Holland Wijnaldum is allowed to leave for 15mil (price from Gazzetta) but at present no major clubs are interested in him. Could be a good thing for us ? http://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws/443208/vertrek-wijnaldum-staat-buiten-kijf-hij-wil-graag-cashen-en-heeft-toestemming-.html

Have to say the L'equipe and Calciomercato articles I have just read don't mention us at all, smokescreen ? http://www.calciomercato.com/news/il-marsiglia-avvisa-l-inter-cinque-offerte-per-imbula-decisiva-l-222859

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM Gianelli Imbula 'prefers Southampton switch' http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/arsenal/transfer-talk/news/imbula-prefers-southampton-switch_230876.html Knew my avatar switch would make the difference.

This thread is surely a bait thread for Dubai Phil?
