SuperSAINT

Claude strikes me as a very decent, humble man. I've lost track of the times that he's said in post/pre match press conferences that we need to be "more clinicical". I think he will ultimately lose his job because he will carry the can for not rectifying that.

Ridiculous suggestion. (But also an awesome suggestion!)

Patrick Roberts developing nicely at Celtic, on loan from Man City. Scored 2 great goals tonight.

With Ralph's telling response to the Claude questions, I'm going to assume that Jack Pitt-Brooke's report about us contact Silva's people was probably right.

The San Siro destroyed me. We should've been about 5-0 up before they scored. Our poor finishing felt like it robbed us of one of the best nights ever. Incredible to think that our bad finishing has lasted all season long (but they we could still finish 8th).

Talks with Chelsea buried in this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/05/17/chelsea-make-swift-move-tie-thibaut-courtois-new-deal-ward-real/ (Also states Bournemouth will bid £20m for Ake).

All they have to do to win is play Crouchie.

Probably worth a new contract.

Possibly... But Yoshida deserves great credit for helping him through games, IMO.

Still waiting to read to positive article on Lander...

JWP on pens, please.

Maybe Les & the board are just concerned that nobody wants to poach our manager, so we're getting panicky and want to find somebody who leaves after a year.

Ralph probably doesn't know either.

Au revoir, Monsieur Puel.

Zero. There's nothing different about this summer. Very strange timing of the interview IMO.

@simonpeach: Earlier today I spoke to #SaintsFC chairman Ralph Krueger for 25 mins about Chinese investment, summer plans & Puel. Copy on @PAsport @simonpeach: Ralph Krueger insists #SaintsFC will no longer be bullied in the transfer market - but the chairman wasn't so forthright about Puel's future

Didn't Virgil start doing stuff on Twitter about us before he moved?

I think it's to the end of this season.

Could likely finance a lot of that by selling J-Rod.

He's got a combination of skills that mean he should be able to take on his form into Germany, IMO.

:adore:

I'd actually assume Jose would use this game as a match that he would field a team closer to his Europa final side (& then rest players for the Palace game).
