The mathematics alone probably destroy any chance of Lallana going. For a start the fee is less 25%, less 17.5% VAT, less agents fees, less contractual payments leaving Saints with about 50% of the offer net. So Liverpool have had a reported £20m offer worth £10m to Saints rejected, say now £25m offered, this only increases the net figure by about £2.5m. Saints are not going to even consider that. Lallana is now the Southampton figurehead, he is replaceable but not for those figures. He is probably going to cost Liverpool far more than he is worth if they want him that badly. £35m still only nets just over £18m. Bournemouth have shot themselves in the foot because it would only be if a fixed fee was negotiated that substantially increased Saints net return so a realistic valuation would work, Lallana could be sold and Bournemouth receive any money. Even then he is overpriced. Having said that, add Lovren into the equation and Liverpool's total budget is exceeded. If Saints decide to sell anybody, whoever buys them are going to have their pants pulled down.

Manchester City are saying that they can't afford to bring in English players as they cost too much. Lallana may be too expensive to go if 25% is added to what Saints want for him.

Weston was talking to his dad today for about 15 mins.

I think his sister lives in Liverpool.

It's a shame that the Lallana family don't have your sources.

No he isn't.

Except to get the best price and dictate when.

Aside from what his closest relative told myself and West Stand at the Everton game. What club would sell a player before the World Cup where his value could increase. Secondly why would we not stir up an auction if he was going to go, thirdly why would we sell him before strengthening and fourthly that 25% to Bournemouth is going to prove horrendously expensive for whoever wants him. This crap is more of the same.

Standard procedure but the same standards of surveillance don't apply to that part of the world. As for the arrests, probably a convenient time to get rid of trouble makers without awkward questions.

Shilton, Watson, Wright, O'Brien, Davies just to name a few.

As of Saturday. Very happy, hoping to go to Brazil, not counting on it, waiting until walking off pitch fit after last game. MP needs to be supported by enough to bring in significant players. Not about money, if squad improved, the players would be very happy. Reading between the lines if MP stays nobody would go. A problem could be if the people who need to do this vacillate and can't make their minds up about targets and we struggle to strengthen. Osvaldo needs to be moved on sooner rather than later. With their record I would have thought MP wouldn't touch Spurs with a barge pole.

Spurs did well with over a £100m last summer, didn't they?

Although we had two own goals, Gallagher was in great positions for both. The first if the defender hadn't got a touch Gallagher had a simple header, for the second he was on the far post and had an easy tap in if the header was missing the goal.

I was talking to a person yesterday that is as close as it gets to the players. It seems that the players are very happy at the club, love playing for Pochettino but are not that impressed by Reed's statement or regard him highly. If Pochettino stays it is unlikely there will be departures. The significant comment was made regarding Pochettino, that it wasn't about money, but about his ability to strengthen the squad. There also appears to be criticism amongst the players about the poor value of some expensive imports. Reading between the lines, more Lovrens and no more Osvaldos.

KL, RK, and now LR have said that no player that Mauricio wants to keep will be sold. If that's not unanimous I don't know what is!

I've given 10 because of the massive improvement from an out of it's depth team at the start of last season to a team that competed at the end. Then this season looked brilliant at times and has held it's own in 8th place in it's second season in the Premier League.

If desperate clubs want to sign players whose clubs don't want to sell and more importantly don't have to sell, they can forget 'valuation' fees. Any Southampton player that goes will cost an enormous premium and any Lallana type fee with the sell on fee will have to be settled on top by the buyer. It will be very difficult to buy our players because of their inflated fees.

I can only pass on what Pochettino said as translated. He sounded like he had been doing his homework, said he'd spoken to all the players but mentioned Shaw specifically.

Pochettino on Sky, all the players happy, all on long contracts, no reason why Shaw or anybody else should go. Could be he's made his mind up.

Southampton won't want to sell any of their core players. If MU, MC, Arsenal or Chelsea etc want any of them, the eye watering amounts they would have to cough up for players on long contracts will probably kill off their interest.

The aircraft on autopilot altitude hold and tracking, the engines would be fuelled from separate wing tanks with the cross feed valve closed, therefore it would be almost impossible for the engines to cut out simultaneously. One engine fails, autopilot tries to hold height so aircraft loses speed, the live engine forces the aircraft to turn then roll into a inverted dive rolling until the second engine cuts out. However the autopilot will have cut out because of the forces or immediately it's generator failed if the associated engine failed. The aircraft probably breaks up.

A relation of my wife, retired Lieutenant Colonel, was chatting to me last night about the search. His son in law is very high up in the Australian army. He commented that the Australians couldn't have come on this signal by chance. The Australian military are very close to the Americans. The Americans wouldn't want to be the ones to make public this information.

Sarbe emergency locators/radios carried. Pilot oxygen from a large tank near flight deck. A number of therapeutic bottles about 30 mins. Dropdown masks 12 mins ish.

That was my view Ron. There really is practically no chance of getting away with it and none at all in the dark.

Under power the engines are designed to shear but in a water landing would in the act of shearing tip the nose under. I would think landing tail low would cause the engines to hammer the nose in. Landing in open ocean is a much more difficult exercise. That's why I say there is a great deal of luck in it and having a decent pilot doing it. Over my career there were some pilots who really weren't up to it but for a variety of reasons weren't bombed out. Eventually of course they were nailed.
