But 2 of those are by our own choosing so we must have our reasons I suppose. Perhaps we could just not hack their salaries.

In fact if he was on say 80K (or 5.2 million €s as he was at A.M) last summer when he joined he's now had an 11% or so euro pay rise so he cannot be unhappy about that. 80K£ then was roughly equivalent to the 100K€s weekly that he was reportedly getting, now those 80K£ would bring him about 112000€ per week, if indeed he got paid weekly which he doesn't. Depends of course where he spends most of his money but he's quids in in euros.

Fee hasn't been agreed at all, there's a sum that they can buy out of and start again and that includes us. If AM do not want to sell him to us for 6.5 million £ (although the fee might have been in Euros and the £ equivalent will be less now) they give us 2 million euros and buy out of the arrangement and then name their new price. Where it gets choppy is if the agreed sum is very much higher, for instance RTBF (Belgian Telly) think it's nearer 12 million euros, there buying out of the agreement is far closer to his actual value. Toby keeps saying it's all down to Atletico and he has no say in the matter.

Not that I can see, he's an essential player and stats show that we do less well without him. I'd give you 5 Mayas and 8 Gardoss for 1 Toby. Trouble is he may well end up out of our price range on the 2 fronts, fee and salary.

In fact you have no idea what we can match or can't match. KBilly told us that we did not have the wherewithal to sign a striker in January and he's not one for making up crap just for the sake of it. I'd expect arrivals to be funded from sales as they were last summer, we have 2 potential sales and 3 or 4 places that need strengthening so doubt if we'll be blowing mega money on one player.

I know that this is a Solent interview so sort of specific to Saints but in the earlier Sky/Fan magazine interview I don't think he said much at all about wanting to stay with Saints. So could be a good thing or just kowtowing to the average Saints fan to get an easier ride from the crowd for the last few home game....then again I'm a bigger cynic than St Crinny.

He probably knows that 6.5 million £ is a ridiculously low price for him and that Atletico will want more. Although he does say he could well end up back in Madrid.

Well of course the old unlikely, not unlikely couple is used often enough. In fact it probably means that he's more likely to return than not.

Bloke needs to use a translator...then we'll know what he means.

Where he already has a 20% stake but read on..................

Constantly stopping games would lead them to become like NFL where a 1 hour game lasts somewhere around 3 hours or Rugby where an 80 minute game lasts nigh on 2 and a half hours. Whatismore I've noticed that in Rugby at least players are becoming more and more proficient in masking actions, falling down at the same time as a try scorer in a bit of a ruckuss sometimes stops the video ref seeing what happens really.

Gardos really isn't a very good player, I mean he's average but for the fee we might have done better.

I see that Dani scored twice again yesterday, one a penalty it's true. Perhaps Boca will be impressed and brass up the £1.50 transfer fee

He's had a reasonable season but when up against cases like Dawson he's a bit soft centred still. He made that awful clearance because he couldn't handle Dawson's aggression, Toby ? well Dawson would have probably limped away from the challenge with a dead leg or something and the ball would probably have gone where Toby wanted it to go.

Arsenal could easily turn over their 3-1 defeat, Monaco just aren't a good side....then again neither are Arsenal on occasions.

Chelsea try to respect FFP, PSG....don't even know what it means. Chelsea have nowhere near the quality of players that PSG do....Qatar FC are in football for 1 thing only, winning the CL at any price, if they lost last night Blanc was sacked.

Carburators no longer exist on any grand scale so it might inspire them to do a bit of historical research.

Most of them have fairly high standards, still there must be the odd scrubber here and there.

Isn't the Euro 16 in France, I certainly hope it is, already made my plans.

What striker would that be then ?

Not that it makes any much difference but teenage pregnancies in Switzerland are fairly uncommon, probably at least 10 times as uncommon as in the UK I'd think; Your average continental european teenage girl does not get knocked up easily. I know it's about a ratio of 4/1 UK/France and about 6/1 UK/Germany .

Put it this way, who thinks that Toby would have made the same dubious headed clearance as Maya that fell to Berahino ? Class players have that little something extra which enables them to do the right thing 99.5% of the time.

But to make up such a gap in 10 games they'd probably have to do us a favour by beating Spurs and Liverpool, oh and us as well. If they make up 7 points and some GD from those games then they probably deserve 7th place.

And none taken , still should have checked though.

Yes I got confused between 2 disappointing games in succession, need to check my facts before posting really, then again that would make me MLG bis wouldn't it.
