For most of us, 20-30k a year is a decent solid wage. He will earn over £15m a year. what the hell. 24 years old and getting that a year. Not to mention the incredible signing on bonus he would have got to enable him to setup in spain. TBH, if he was injured for life tomorrow (i hope to god he isn't...!!) then he'd still never, ever need to do a days work again.

We want the buying club to pay his wages in full, they won't, so billy wants us to subsidise what he loses up until the end of his contract with us. We're not prepared to do that, hence stalemate. Money grabbing b.....etc That's what I've heard anyway.

He's not massively quick, but he's direct with his running and gives the impression that he's quick..as it opens up space etc. I wouldn't say he's slow though.

It was a tenner and kids for free I believe, Adam Lallana's debut game - remember it well. As you said, we got a decent crowd that day too. I think it was closer to 20k though.

Only thing which is a bit frustrating is the sale of Puncheon, and not bringing in a similar type player. But we should still do better than last year, so progress will be made!

very true Arsenal are like your ''only open presents after dinner'' type of club. They should have a fun evening.

What a total rip off.

Totally agreed.

A little bit of pace/cover in the attacking final third wouldn't go a miss though...

Can't see us signing Ince, just one of those random deadline day rumours that has come from nowhere.

He's been in Spain for a while with Valencia and Almeria (since 2008 ). So he wouldn't have Spanish nationality yet. Work permit application could be interesting.

Anyway, as it looked like Piatti was moving to Getafe last night......it seems as if t hat's not yet the case, and some journo's are again linking us to him. We're cutting it a bit fine for a European signing though aren't we?

3 games, 3 games of football. 3 flaming games.

I said there were no credible sources, I'm not building it. Twitter is. Thought i'd share something, won't bother now.

Nothing credible, some journos and agents (probably fake agents tbf) on twitter.

Everyone, prepare yourselves. A huge scoop Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook 8m Remember Sharp can be loaned out after the deadline as loan window remains open #saintsfc will try and sell before considering loaning

He said those quotes above to the national media after y/day's match.

The talk of lennon is building, but not decent sources as yet.

It's a shame that you retired.

And we want 2 players.....

Man City sign Demichellis. What's that one all about then? He left Malaga and was signed by At.Madrid on a free transfer, and a month later they've managed to sell him for £5m. Great business by Ath. Madrid, they've basically just bought money. If that wasn't a panic signing then I don't know what one is. They should have been awake earlier on and got him for free....

Fair play Arsenal, will be a pretty big signing for them if they pull that off. Not sure it's in a position they need players though...but hey ho.

Palace have had a bid rejected for Callum Mcmanaman. Everton have had a £10m bid rejected for James McCarthy.
