Exactly. It's the Saintsweb way to get the info that matches the agenda. I don't care either way. It's not my money. I wanted the team strengthened and it has been. Every transfer comes with some inherent risk. Hoping he does really well. I'm feeling the excitement for this season. Hearing Sparky's press conference and the positivity surrounding the team/club this year was a breath of fresh air.

It goes both ways. None of us know. There could either be stipulations or not. We don't know.

It's worth the risk IMO. If he does well, $20M will be a snip. It is likely that there are some stipulations in the contract with Liverpool about buying him (probably based on appearances/goals etc (i.e. if he gets injured or not).

Yes they will. The ones who take enjoyment out of annoying fans on here will be all over him in the match thread as soon as he ****s up.

A few on here are waiting with baited breath for his first mistake, ready to crow. Remember Wanyama getting castigated on here by the usual suspects for misplacing his first pass.

88/89 we beat West Ham 4-0 if I am recalling correctly.

Furious? Get a grip man, it’s football!

Just seen his sticker on FB. Looks great in the Saints shirt. He's gonna smash 'em in this year! COYS!!!

If we sell him back to them it'll create a paradox!

Did anybody else read that with a German accent?

Never fails. They'd rather we blew $30M on Danille Inglasias...

He's coming home! He's coming home He's coming! Ings is coming home!

I don't mind this deal at all. Too many on here have delusions of grandeur. We're Saints not Chelsea or Spurs or whatever. I remember the whinging on here when we got Bertrand. Can't be that many here just for the windups?

Well played.

What about grammar OCD? Do you have that?

If that's the case then quit your whining. We are stuck with these owners, nothing we as fans can do. Instead let's just get behind the team and (try and) enjoy the football. If not, then find some other hobby.

People just have to realise that yes we've made transfer mistakes (Boufal, Carillo etc.) and contract mistakes (FF) and that hamstrings us a bit. Of course in an ideal world we'd not have made these mistakes but it's where we are now and fans should have a bit of patience that it's not easy to eradicate the mistakes and will take time. It looks like the club are trying to remedy the situation and perhaps we should have a bit of faith in Sparky and the boys.

Spot on! A bit of patience is needed.

Oops. Same dummies who said Pelle was **** and then later that he was the greatest. Same dummies that were saying 3 at the back and are now calling for 4 at the back. No trolls on here, no siree...

In before Dalek suggests 17th and then says how brave he is and how he was pilloried for years and that all along he was correct.

Last year people were moaning on and on about switching to a back 3 and playing 2 up top. Now we are actually doing it everyone wants a flat 4 and 1 striker.

Jordan Ayew refusing to train for Swansea. Must be some mistake, I thought it was only Saints that players did this to...

Trouble is that we haven’t practiced in a full match with a flat 4. Hope we hit the ground running on Sunday.

Why do they need to come out and say anything? They are privy to information and situations that we know nothing about. I’d rather we let the football do the talking. In any case, the board are damned if they do, damned if they don’t since people will find fault in anything they do or don’t say.
