Maybe it's our negotiating tactics?

Indeed. His fee was fully justified unlike some of the others.

It's not the fact they left but more the way they did it that was most disappointing.

Yeah this basically. I think the actions of a few players this summer has disillusioned a number of fans and that is a big shame. Let's hope that JWP can stay with us for a while and maybe gain some of that trust back.

That's exactly what I meant. Buzzin orn is a tool.

Schneiderlin always seemed intelligent and articulate for a Frenchman to me. Going by his twitter outburst, the reality seems rather different.

Would they? Out of interest which people would they be? Pre season results are for fitness and trying out a few things from the training ground. The results have always meant nothing for all teams and that would be the case if saints had had good or bad results.

Not sure you can call him a class act yet. I remind the fine words from Adam last year and then his actions this year. If he stays for a few years amid interest from bigger teams then I'll call him class.

Spending half would be good.

Jesus it was a lighthearted comment about the video. Way to go buzz killington.

Where is the evidence that the academy could close?

If this summer has taught us anything, it's that we shouldn't believe that any of the players are more loyal than any other. It's all about the money.

I think that isn't very realistic personally but I hope that's true.

Means nothing.

Good to see the British were never killed

Taider looks alright but obviously remains to be seen. Certainly not the level of signing I was expecting.

If we get that other guy it will just be another amateurish move from the board to add to the long list.

As much as people say we don't have to, I believe we really have to spend some money soon to show some ambition and change the perception of the club as one in crisis selling off everything. I would be happy with another 30-40 million spent this summer.

Not sure about this, particularly if this is so we can get rid of cork. Still yet to be convinced by our transfer policy the last couple of weeks. I wonder if we have failed to get our main targets?

Seems like a bit of a change in transfer strategy with these domestic links.

He sounded a bit like Steve de ridder to me. Sounds like an incredibly poor signing so hope we don't get him.

In this deal. If we are going to get a player in due to the osvaldo deal, we may as well get one in who may have something about him.

This.

We will definitely be getting another striker.

Exactly. I don't want the squad full of average dross. That's what relegated us last time.
