I always wondered how someone could ever reach 40k+ of posts on a football forum.

Not expecting him to criticise. He could have just published the information from SFC / Reed but he's done more than that he's actually endorsed it fairly significantly with additional comment.

We're paying I assume rather than getting for JF?

Ah OK. The PA Dugout Twitter feed is quoting it and they're normally pretty reliable. Whichever way there seems to be lots of interest in him and at the fee quoted or thereabouts.

Celtic must be following our model. They only bought Dembele last year for £500K as a development fee. That's some return.

West Ham have apparently bid £20M for Dembele at Celtic.

Modelled himself on Wayne Shaw. Actually, as you say, he did OK for us. Big lad.

He's talking about this. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dejan-lovren-cryptic-comment-southamptons-12353169 It's all 'social media' whichever way you look at it.

Reading Blackmore's feed I was surprised how he seems to have completely taken everything as said by Reed as gospel. We all know how the propaganda machine works- on both sides - with each party wanting to present themselves in the best possible light for the ensuing move.

So just Rooney in reply to his point then. Sanchez is very happy according to to Wenger and neither he nor Ozil are Captains.

The club would have known this was coming for weeks if not months. A plan will be in place and with the timing of the transfer request I expect him to leave this window. The propoganda war has started.

The only other (real) option is Oriol if we want an outfield player or I guess Forster.

Always thought Andrew Davies was a better player than he was given credit for although I seem to recall winning player of the season when only playing half the campaign. Shows what a state we were in then I guess. Injury prone unfortunately.

I don't think he'll be allowed to field twelve.

Planning to play 'a youthful' team against Norwich according to The Echo http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/15002169.Puel_set_to_take_a_gamble/?ref=mr&lp=1

We played 6 games over a near 3 month period in the Europa League.

His game has improved this year without a doubt.

I feel quite guilty that we haven't let the footballing world into our secret of mass rotation. Once they find out and it catches on then we'll be really in for it. Can't believe we've got this massive unique edge on everyone else but let's make hay while the sun shines!

I can't seem to find this list, only the one referring to winger Douglas Costa as his most difficult opponent. Who else is in the eleven?

Jordi Clasie £5.8K p/w at Feyenoord, £40K at Southampton. There's your reason he's here, nothing to do with 'shop window'. I don't doubt that some came here as a stepping stone, in fact I'm sure they did but to use this to justify all those names you've given? Sorry.

Yes near the end, by the touch line. I think Fonte was a tad, err, frustrated!

Was it as bad as Fonte's challenge on Rose the other night? The one he didn't even get a yellow for. I hear what you're saying though.

I didn't see the pen but he red card was very soft. It was right in front of the Lino and he didn't even flag for a foul.

He was on a hiding to nothing there. Bruce knew that.
