Here's a little list of players Utd have been 'interested in or made an offer for" in the last 2 weeks or so (according to the press and rumour sites of course). Sergio Ramos, Firmino, Daniel Alves, Harry Kane, Otamendi, Oblak, Clyne, Hummels, Laporte, Miranda, CRonaldo, Bale, Vlaar, Schweinsteiger, Strootman, Witsel, Cech, Van Der Wiel, Cavani, Pogba, Cillessen, Lloris, Benzema, Muller, Mandzukic, Schneiderlin, Gaitan, Sterling, Varane, Navas, Higuain, Vidal, Gundogan, Handanovic, Bacca, Dragovic, Vietto, Robben, Felipe Anderson, Jackson Martinez, Boateng, Lacazette, Sneijder, Reus. Got to be over a billions worth of talent in there.

I think he had some injuries mid season, first choice when available IIRC. Anyway it's sort of academic really. Can't think that Jos or Maya were ever preferred to Fonte if he was available.

Wasn't what...or is this just the argument sketch all over again...

More or less but there are global figures in the accounts, for instance we know that our summer sales last year brought in a total of some 82 million euros of which 31.5 million came from Shaw and Lambert (because of the timing)

Well I think he kinda had, we started back in the PL in August 2012, he was always a regular in our side I think, first with Jos or Maya,then with Lovren and finally with Toby.

What is ?

Sounds like you're wasting your time wondering about things of no great importance then....:rolleyes:

One wonders just how many "Sotonians" are actually Sotonians. I'd think that over half of the posters on these forums actually aren't. Now Saintsweb well that's about Saints but a Sotonian is a very precise thing, ie someone from Southampton, I mean you don't get so many Old Tauntonians who went to St Annes now do you.

Yes he did, came on at half time.

26th will be a Saturday, don't know how they calculate these things these days, official boxing day and real boxing day perhaps.

Didn't Imbula sign for Valencia already ?

Did I miss Bearsy and Pap getting banned..Jeez I just have to stop going to work.

Absolutely, Stoke seem to have adopted Red and White stripes for the 1907 season whereas we were playing in Red and White stripes for the 1902 cup final. In the first match we were red and white with blue shorts and Sheff U were in White shirts. For the replay the kits were seemingly just the other way round. Perhaps it was we who loaned Stoke the red and white.

I expect transfer transactions will start getting cranked up from next week onwards. We're roughly half way through the summer break and most involved will be done with their holidays. Internationals will be finished apart from in South America and business will be got on with. You only have to look at the crap being peddled on myriads of transfer news sites to see that just now nothing much is really happening.

In fact someone should invent time travel so that all these weenies could go back and learn how to live without mobile communication. I mean who really needs to watch Coronation St whilst walking up Above Bar. If you wanted to see the footy results you just had to look in Dixon's window at the appropriate hour. It was once a widely held theory that the Russians would never be much good in battle because they needed constant instructions on what to do next, I shudder to think where we are on that nowadays.

Ah add ons. Strange things add ons; The Arse thought that they were going to get 4 million from Barca because they sold them Vermaalen with a 4m CL winners clause, but as he didn't play at all they don't get a penny, well not this time round anyway. Poor old Arsenal.

..........

Anyway apparently Charlie has been getting uppity about being given as almost having signed with Newcastle. Probably getting stick from the rest of the England group.

As I said the outcome was fortunate but the processus was a disaster...someone even told us what Reed said about it.

Because Les Reed said so, he went down there and got messed about in a classic manner, ended up by saying that the player was surrounded by well..dishonest people IIRC. Look for a post on this very forum by "Right Sider"

The outcome was quite fortunate but the processus was shockingly badly handled. They strung us along and we just couldn't see it.

I can see it being Marcos Rojo all over again...now that was an epic fail.

Juanmi and a dog named Boo.... can't remember the rest.

Absolutely, it's such an age old ruse that surely no club still falls for it. Like making ridiculously low bids...why do we waste time doing that every summer....is it just shaking the tree in case anything falls out? Seville are in the CL next season, they probably don't even need our pittances.
