Difficult to deal with can be an entirely different thing from not a pushover.

Your comment would have merit if you can find one post on this thread which takes what was said as gospel.

Why are you incapable of engaging in adult discussion?

Lol. Obviously.

Thanks. Unnecessary pedantry the speciality of this place.

Months then. It doesn't lessen the point unless you seriously believe that he created the twitter account to pretend to be an agent to wind up saints fans.

There have been tons of positive runours about infrastructure and signings etc. Tons.

Seems an awful lot of trouble to go to pretending to be an agent on twitter for years with hundreds of boring tweeds designed purely to wind up saints fans.

Any small matter which could reduce the chances of us getting a player we want I see as a negative thing. Not saying this is true but it merits discussion.

The problem with this site is that people pick a view and then defend that whatever happens. People decide Lowe was the worst chairman in history and so exaggerated everything he did wrong and belittled whatever small positives he had. The same thing has happened with cortese where people will defend everything he does and see it as a positive without contemplating for a moment that he could make mistakes or do something wrong. It's gone fro one ridiculous extreme to another.

We do not know If we have missed out on players due to this alleged agent issue which could make us an even better team.

And if this weren't same agent posting Something broadly positive about saints would it be treated with the same skepticism by the majority?

All in saying is it would be nice to discuss rumour both positive and negative without it immediately being accepted or dismissed based upon whether it is positive or negative. You see it on here all the time with the mail printing a negative story which is dismissed as the paper having an agenda against us whilst positive articles from the same paper are roundly applauded!

Unreal. Do you honestly think this site believes the negative more than te positive? Seriously? I think I need a lie down. If people were able to talk about things sensibly instead of immediately dismissing a negative rumour and accepting a positive then this place would be far better.

Firstly you can't just presume that is what the agent meant by his comments and spin it as something positive. Secondly if you think positive news from any source is treated the same as negative news on here then you need to pay closer attention.

Thanks trousers. Im not sure how I could have made it any differently.

No I don't. You've just made that up. In fact, I started a thread about positive stuff I had heard a few weeks ago and I'm always interested in saints info both positive an negative.

But then you are assuming that really sh*t players have unrealistic demands as opposed to decent players demanding what they are worth (and maybe a bit more if there I'd competition.)

It must be sh*te, it's something negative about the club. Has to be rubbish. I wider if your reaction would have been the same had it been a nice positive tweet?

Some people will excuse anything. IF (big if) this is true and we are missing out on players because agents and clubs do not want to deal with us, then I can't see any positive no matter what anyone tries to spin on here.

As are the people who won't even entertain for a moment that there could be just an ounce of truth to this.

That is a stupid and presumptuous statement with so much of the window left. If it gets to the end and we have signed a load of frees or lower fees who don't significantly improve the first team then I will join you with what you say.

I agree we probably do have money to play with. The big question is how much exactly and at what level our bids or 'enquiries' (as the BBC puts it) are.

I will do. I'm commenting on the situation and the current evidence at the moment. If that changes then I'll comment on that as well.

Possibly, presuming we actually get some of these players and we offer a half decent price for them.
