Loans are pretty disappointing, given the money we have brought in - but if there is an opportunity to sign Gnabry, whatever the situation, we should jump at it. Very, very good player.

If we start losing our decent players to **** like that, then I've had it.

Surely that'll be Ben Davies now?

I believe the £8.5m clause is triggered ONLY if a CL club bids.

We're not paying him close to that. He is on 45-50k + benefits.

I think he was joking tbf.

£3.5m is an utter pistake given the money we've made this summer. It's not even close to what his value is. What are we playing at?

Saintlee was a good guy, but was completely sucked in by it all. Shame.

I knew I was speaking to Cortese.

So how's it going Nicola? Do you have a certain Sunseeker friend joining the party?

Nicola Cortese said that he first became aware/started following our progress when he saw Paul Allen linked. That was in 2007.

Ah, this is like a wonderful blast from the past. Time-warp.

woop, Saints Takeover Thread - Volume 1 (2014 edition). I have missed those days.

We'll need to spend a hell of a lot more than that for anything to be great.

We've just lost 7 players, I think it's fair to believe we'll probably lose a few more too.

We waited all that time for that? Anyone could have posted that.

I doubt they're even aware of it. I can sense them all in the board room walking around in circles not sure what to do, players are banging on the door and KL is swimming in money.

We need a RB, and 2 CB's...but we could be clever and get a key CB, and then also a CB who can cover RB. We need a LB. We need a GK We need a CM We need a Striker, probably 2. 2 wide players We're not going to get all of those, so I'd say we're up the creek.

And Hans, Ralf and the pretty inept Gareth 'IDon'tknowwhati'mdoing' Rogers. Then we can start again in that dept. too.

As much as people are hoping it was a dig, it wasn't. It was a little bit of a naive tweet by Koeman, who genuinely does post pre-training pictures on a daily basis. It just fits for it to be picked up by the media as it has been.

And for it costing so damn much, it's probably the most dull and plain training ground interior I've ever seen in my life.

Probably 3.
