What did people think of Taider? I thought he looked good.

It was fine. Why were you gimps staring at the lights?

I agree. There's nothing more annoying than workers with a sense of entitlement who have no respect for their employer's legitimate business needs.

I've come across some right idiots who run businesses. I'm not saying he is an idiot, mind.

You need to stop with all these tax posts as you are hopelessly confused and clearly don't understand the difference between a balance sheet and a profit/loss account.

Putting aside the specific issue of England underperforming, it helps when players arrive at a world cup without being burned out/knackered. I would say the rigour of the EPL is the problem, not the quality. Who were say, the top ten players at the world cup: Robben Neymar Rodrigues Messi Mascherrano Muller Schweinsteiger Kroos Benzema Neuer Obviously it's subjective but none of them play in the EPL. Did any EPL player stand out? Vlaar, I guess. Aguero - crocked Rooney - carp Toure - carp Hazard - average RVP - good in bursts but hardly a stand out Gerrard - carp

F5 needs copier toner?

What a great post.

Slovenian Presidential visit?

He was barely good enough for us for long periods of last season so he's going to look utter tripe compared to the world-class Suarez. As someone else noted, his best bet would be playing behind Sturridge but that isn't going to happen as they have Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana and the other new signing to fit in, as well as Emre Can possibly meaning Gerrard/Henderson can play more advanced. He will be a bit part sub for a year.

We really don't need Roswell.

Guly, Waigo, Antonio, Bignall, Trotman..... we've had 'nuff loans under Cortese and very helpful some of them were too (others less so).

Is it NAMBLA again?

Did any player of any nationality who plays in the Premier League have a particularly good World Cup (ignoring bit parts like Krul and Suarez).

He's quality. Better than Morgan was at 19.

Alex Crook just said it was a great run and a curling finish past Boruc. Sounds somewhat different to the goal being discussed on here!

Ralph has talked about finding ways to monetise our expertise previously.

Agree with the sentiments about Lovren. one year in England - he should've been told to STFU. If anyone deserved a big move it was Morgan and he seems to have simply been a victim of France's relative World Cup success making him the last one back to training. That said, his tweet is clearly disappointing. With any luck, he calms down and the two sides can reach an agreement around a move in Jan or at the end of the season. The other concern today is that only Morgan and Jay Rod were name checked. If we lose Clyne, Fonte, JWP etc this window then there is still plenty of cause for alarm.

It's her company, she can wind it up and take all the assets if she wants.

If they sell Clyne as well I probably will try to get a refund on my ST. Failing that, I might bang a claim in the small claims court for a laugh. It only costs 35 quid and would actually represent a meaningful protest of loads of ST holders did it.

I've got no beef with Leverkusen. Irrational.

Do people really think Chambers will be worth, say, 25 million? Can't see it. There is actually some logic to this sale. It's the fact that it adds pace to the apparent snowball which is the concern.

Van Gaal had a Dutch clique at Barca. The main problem was that they used to speak Dutch at training, in the dressing room etc. It, unsurprisingly, alienated Spanish (and other) players. Seems less likely to happen at Saints given that any new Dutch guys are likely to speak decent enough English and, unless there is a huge influx, will be in the minority anyway. Look how good the English of Pelle and Tadic is in their interviews (and they're not even Dutch). I don't think it will be a problem. More important to get the right sort of person than worry about their nationality.

Boruc Clyne. Fonte. Yoshi. Targett - - - - - - - Big Vic - - - - - - - - - - JWP/Cork- - - Davis / Ramirez /Tadic Tadic/Ramirez/Davis- - - Pelle - - - Ramirez/Tadic K Davis, Jos, Stephens, JWP/Cork, Reed, McQueen/Mayuka, Gallagher That team would not get relegated, IMO. It assumes no Morgan and no Jay Rod and no further signings.

I've just watched last night's friendly and I was very impressed with Pelle. He is very strong in one on one duels and looks to be a more effective outlet than Lambert. He received a lot of chest/thigh high balls back to goal and nearly always found a team mate. He also clearly has an eye for a pass. And he can run and has some agility, which is an improvement over Lambert. I reckon he could end up being an absolute bargain. If Tadic and Ramirez also click I think we could be a more effective attacking force this season. The only real concern is centre back but if we sort that out I see no reason for gloom.
