What makes you say that?

I think most Saint's fans agree with that.

Their predictions about us one page 1, at the beginning of last season, are rather impressive. http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=309033.0

Only 6:53 pm here in Southern California mate. Too early for my bedtime. Nice username BTW. How come no-one used it before you?

Both equally good, that's the point. Nice try though. http://thesportspost.com/blogs/view/soccer-goalkeeper-rotation-jose-mourinho Yep, nobody's ever thought of it before. And because it hasn't been done regularly in the past it's doomed to failure, just like all other recent ideas.

I was looking for dodgy streams. Wrong thread?

Footballers aren't babies (well, most aren't). I think grown-up professionals can handle playing in front of different quality keepers. Rotating keepers is not a novel experiment (google it - hint: Stoke and ManUre, for example). Reasons to rotate two equally good keepers: keeps both happy, they still will both get plenty of playing time (often averaging one league or cup game a week, especially over the crowded holiday period). Keeps them fresher, physically and mentally. Reasons not to keep an equally good keeper on the bench: unlike an outfield player, he'll stay on the bench for 90 minutes every game (barring an injury or sending off). He'll be less match sharp if called upon. He may get pissed off and do a Lovren.

It doesn't work if 2 are crap.

I'm waiting for you to give a good reason not to.

If they're equally good why not rotate them regularly? Keepers are the one position where changes won't disrupt the rest of the team.

Earning a fortune playing football for one of the biggest clubs in the world. Yes, the joke's definitely on him.

I would be over the moon if we can get as high up as "also-ran" standard this season.

Agreed, especially about Lovren. That's where the line should have been drawn, and he's the one who should be rotting in the reserves.

A fine for the club would be more than sufficient. The suspended player missed the required number of matches, but due to a stupid clerical error some of those matches weren't counted. So unless other clubs are itching to deliberately make clerical errors to have their suspended players technically not complete their ban, I don't see how giving the club a reasonable punishment (a fine) would open the flood gates to anything.

But that's all true, isn't it?

Bigger fish to fry it seems.

Have they swapped yet?

Maybe he was predicting our recent sales. Still about £39 million out, but in the other direction.

I'm really impressed with this thread, over 3000 posts and all are transfer rumours and nothing else.

"The problem, of course, is that it has happened all at once for them and it has been allowed to happen in the wrong order. One of the basic rules of the football market is to secure the replacement first. Instead, Southampton have banked the money but find that the clubs from whom they wish to buy have jacked up the prices." Shame this rather basic rule flew over the heads of Wreck-It and co.
