hypochondriac

You have quite an antiquated view of religion. Its mostly Catholicism that gets dictated to by their church institution. Essentially a church is just a group of people who worship god getting together.

When I said at the time it was premature and got shouted down. Ho hum...

Precisely. Plenty of people are Christians without subscribing to the idiocy of an institution called the church. Just as many people are Muslim without going on a prayer mat five times a day and going to a temple.

I don't think its wrong to question people but I do believe that as long as someone isn't hurting anyone or breaking the law then they can do whatever they like. If someone has a deeply help faith then frankly I couldn't give a toss where they got it from or why they believe it. If it is making their lives better and those of the people around them then best of luck to them.

I very much agree with you there.

Who cares about the word Christian? You could call it good values for all I care. Fact is that Christian values are IMO a good thing. Of course they aren't owned by Christianity but it is the values taught by Christianity. Does that sound better?

Its true though. Although some people will say it doesn't matter, if this doesn't go through then its awfully disappointing.

Its not going to happen is it. Sad times

Exactly. Either we pay what they want or they hawk him around elsewhere. They hold all the cards here.

Not good news.

Or try to belittle them as unintelligent. I'm not deeply religious myself but I do have an open mind and I don't think that everyone knows all the answers. Just because someone has a strong faith does not mean they are stupid. In most believers it is something I admire.

No saints players so not in any way relevant. He left so his loss as far as I am concerned.

Saints related?

Lets hope you are right.

Doesn't sound too promising...

Just read it. Had missed it previously. Still doesn't say if it's normal practice in these negotiations. As I said though, fair play if the info is legit.

Far enough is that normal practice in football then? Anyone know?

I haven't actually said anything unreasonable here! All I did was ask a very reasonable question and considered it odd that someone was travelling all the way to South America for something that could easily be done remotely.

Almost certainly not. Every single one of our transfers has been known about ages before for the last two years.

Probably won't need English then...

Well Cortese knows two of them so they may be alright...
