Ah jesus, this brings back memories. Welcome back.

He's been sounded out, IMO, and his head has been turned. Does make you think though, even Man City...with all their mega riches and a PL title, are at risk of losing one of their best players.

All he says is what other people say. He doesn't know anything himself.

He has already said he doesn't want to leave the EPL, so it's Spurs or no where IMO.

"None of them shook his hand on his birthday. It's really sick," Seriously, what the actual ****. Is this what it's coming to????

Bit strange, obviously some sort of restructuring. I must admit, I didn't follow the academy in the league this year...but I don't think we won it, or won a cup. Maybe, with what we're churning out (shaw/bale/chambo/adam) the ambition within the club is that we should be leading the way results wise too? Obviously, academy results are often secondary to progress of the individuals...but maybe the club are that short sighted in this! Who knows, doubt we'll even know the full reasons - but seems as if JD is being amicable enough about it.

The fact it's silent doesn't mean nothing is going on, by the way. So just take a break for a few weeks....enjoy the W/C and come back to our NPC level squad in august.

He's always been a bit precious, you can tell by the way he acts on the field as soon as he's fouled or touched. But this is quite clearly agent instructed manoeuvring to either a) secure him a new/bigger contract, or b) to secure him a move, to a new/bigger contract. He'll probably get neither though, so fail.

No, that's doom-mongering, as with the majority of your posts! I can tell you that Jay's contract is a work in progress and every intention to be sorted - one bit of good news!

Why wouldn't she have our support? In a round about way - she has bankrolled us from L1 to Top 10 in the PL, so she deserves our support. The only question marks I have at this moment in time are over their long-term plans, are they really willing to **** away 5 years of work...? Time will tell.

Why are we voting for a Liverpool player?

Afellay is decent, but has an horrendous recent injury record. Still can't believe they spent £15m on Song! I'd say Tello would be a good capture from that lot...

Never recovered from injury, lost all his pace. Swansea fans rate him as a total liability.

Can probably summarise what will be said into a short paragraph. ''I had a great time at Southampton, the owners obviously have new idea's. I wanted to take Southampton to new levels, everyone believed in the vision I had, but they wouldn't allow me to do that. The players would not have been let go on my watch as the ambition remained within me, but not within the club. I can promise all fans that I was running the club financially well, the owners just decided to withdraw funding''. I'e I was amazing, all success was down to me, the owners who bankrolled my ambition and who i wanted to continue to bankroll my ambition are nothing but jerks etc. etc. Done a lot of good stuff, but he is a total PR disaster.

What really frustrates me more than anything....manager really wanted, lots of players clearly being sounded out by clubs, big bids coming in....yet we didn't achieve anything major with what is likely to be our best team for decades, we just finished 8th, behind Man Utd who had their worst season for yonks. The way we treated the cups will forever **** me off, we'll never be in such a strong position again to tackle the cups. We were clearly good enough if we put out our best side!

Unfortunately we're looking at the wrong one, we need to go after Ben Davies. Neil Taylor is horrific.

At the end of the day, what are they supposed to say? More complete PR guff, or do we actually wait for them to announce something concrete? I'll go with the later, as their PR guff has done my head in thus far. If I had to put up with daily updates from RK I think I'd lose the will to live.

I'd demand a hell of a lot more than £10m up front.....I know transfers aren't paid in full, but £10m a year for 3 years is ****. By the time we've got the full £30m we could well be playing in the NPC, and that money would then be used to cover debts.

What a totally pointlessly **** article.

lol. that's that then.

what's the point of £10m a year for the next 3 years? If they really want him, pay it all up front or sod off.

To be fair, At.Madrid are a pretty big club over there. It's a great story to see someone else win it though, but they do have some tremendous players in that side.

Borni is alright, lively little player who is a very skill full footballer to boot. Not prolific per say, but technically very handy.

To be honest, they've waffled for weeks. The last thing we need is more talk. Time to see actions now, and those actions will either be the exodus most are expecting, or a surprisingly resolute approach and the continuation of what we've been doing.

Sherwood has a damn decent record there. Weird call for him to be sacked, what's he done to deserve to be sacked?? Crazy club with a crap philosophy, not worth the hassle for MP in my opinion.
