There is plenty wrong with football, or more to the point with Premier League football. Ultimately, there is too much money in the game and money has a horrible habit of making arses of people. It is what it is, there is still plenty to enjoy about being a Saint.

With the best will in the world, Pap, I'm not sure any company would be willing to pay £25m to your current employer for your services.

...or we want you but it's our rite to negotiate how we wish - nothing personal.

and a check up from the neck up..

Poor effort if the new version of the site is not ready to fire up instantly.

I agree but unfortunately I also think it would end in disappointment again. Dani has had many chances at many different clubs now, ultimately all ending with him not performing and causing disruption. It's an expensive mistake but I fear a bigger mistake would be having him back amongst the squad.

A lot is being said about the 25% sell on clause. What would happen if we sold Adam for say £15m and took Coutinho too? Would a value have to be applied to Coutinho and 25% of that amount also paid to Bournemouth? I like Coutinho.

what a cu nt

Frank, surely it's more naive to have a "£30m" left back while the starting centre backs and holding midfielders cost us less in total to put together. The sale of Luke would give us an opportunity to improve the squad in other areas as well as secure his replacement - surely that makes more sense?

He is a positive person, no doubt some would struggle with that. Love the MBG in full swing to judge someone after 2 minutes in a job. Sad.

Think I'd be firmer on Scenario C if I knew who "We" were.

I've seen no proof of Ad being "admired in continental Europe"... but take your point: France - PSG & Monaco - highly unlikely, many cheaper alternatives Spain - Real or Barce are the only teams that could potentially afford him - highly unlikely Italy - no money in that league to afford him. Germany - Bayern is the only side that could afford him - highly unlikely. Russia - loadsa money but highly unlikely Ad would want to move his young famo there... bad enough heading up to Liverpool!

£40m for Lallana??? Not a cats chance.

Where else could he go if not Liverpool? Man City - highly unlikely Chelsea - highly unlikely Arsenal - possible but unlikely Spurs - possible, unlikely - becomes a maybe if Lamella leaves. Not a champs league club. Everton - possible, would suit them but can't see them affording him. Not a champs league club. Man Utd -the most credible alternative. No whispers on this. Not a champs league club. This all adds up to Bournemouth being highly unlikely to get their 25% even if Ad does move on.

Why 25m?? I love Adam as a player but would I pay £20m to have him in my squad? Definitely not.

A lot of cnutybollix about Rooney being a "street footballer". If that's the case he can stick his hat on the ground and I'll chuck in what money I think he deserves.

You spanked a fiver to state the bleeding obvious...
