rather an "I doubt it" then

Wh would we be, we have our own academy, don't think we pay for our entrants actually. Then it doesn't stop there, the parents are always after hand outs as well. Look at Neymar, his father creamed off about 40 million from Barcelona at the end of the day and their poor old chairman is in the crap over it with the Spanish justice.

So did Koeman really say : Taider, he would bring quality to the midfield and we( really) need that ? Haven't we got quality in midfield then, who of our err 6 or 7 midfielders isn't quality then. It's a strange thing to say, perhaps it's just the translation that makes it seem odd. I'd have thought that with Wanyama,Cork Morgan (perhaps) Davis, JWP, Gaston and Tadic it's the one area where we're not too badly furnished.

The term would be relaying midfielder surely, don't think i've ever heard that used in the Uk though, people just tend to use the term CM which could mean anything really. DM CM AM without further precision.

And let our commercial revenues suffer even more...surely not. How much do you think the club actually got from our 40 quid a year or whatever it was/is.

d'accord

Difficult to see exactly how much he's progressed of late until the opposition is of a reasonable standard. Brighton sounded very poor last night, they might even struggle this season, why did they let their manager go exactly. Seen the goal on the videos, lovely strike but far too much time and space really. If he can do the same with half of each then he'll be a great performer.

Lay off Bearsy, I might just have to question your threesome technique again.

Saints player was useful when we were in the lower divisions, when managers interviews were of some substance. Gave it up last year because all the matches are either on line or televised here, you could make your own recordings and MPs interviews with the translator were not worth actually listening to. The transcripts were quite enough.

no, we've certainly been linked with a lot worse, including right now.

BS I think in french, I write here in English (or a fashion) if you don't like it don't read it. Most seem to get along with it fairly well, they may not like whatever it is that I say, few criticise the delivery.

What do you call a milieu relayeur in English then, I certainly don't know. Milieu recuperateur and Milieu Relayeur seperate the 2 kinds that we call DM. I've used the term before, no one seemed to mind then. I've been here 30 years, English isn't particularly natural to me any more. Most accept that, you can't apparently. Tell you what put me on ignore, then you won't have to worry about me eh.

Whilst ou cannot dispute the fact that he appeared for Inter 25 times (13 starts+12 subs) last season you might also like to point out that he made 90 minutes 3 times ,10 of his appearances were for 18 minutes or less and 7 were of less than 10 minutes, 2 less than 5. Sounds a bit like Gaston if not Guly. Nothing against him myself but he's not a star act that we should worry overmuch whether he comes or doesn't.

And prevented us from capitalising fully on our fantastic start last season. We saw (or heard in most cases) what happened last night. The instant that you have to bring garbage like KD on the errors start. Jos,KD and Gazzaniga aided and abetted on occasion by Fox cost us very heavily last season.

You might have missed a very specific point which I made in the OP. FFP refers only to salaries for Players and Coaching staff. Our entire salarial mass was said to be round about 52 million, including, shop assistants,tea ladies, back room staff etc. For the past season I very much doubt if we were anywhere near the threshold figure, Cortese alone took 2.2 million of a 41.7 total amount for the year 2012/13. Perhaps Egg could help me out here, gave us the figure of 52 million, perhaps he has some idea of the player/non player ratios within that. FFP is being used as an excuse by some, even Krueger said it didn't enter into the equation. Southampton FC seem to be hiring a lot of people just now if you go by the situations advertised on the OS,that's either because those that we had have either been sacked or left or we're expanding and taking situations in house rather than paying outside providers. These salaries however do not count towards FFP, as far as I can see it's only player salaries that are capped in the 56 million £ threshold now in operation;

difficult to say really from the article, one thing alone seems clear though...he won't be playing for Inter next season.

If you say so then, just a report that that's what Atletico Madrid have bid (converted from € to £ of course). We'll see.

sounds very reminiscent of what he said about Lovren.

You'd think he'd at least be a target for us wouldn't you, England U21 international and all that.

He only joined last August, doubt if we'd pay 13 million or so and then only give him a 2 year contract,would have thought it was at least 4 years, thus up until June 2017. I really don't see Inter buying him outright just now, they know the situation and also know that there's no way he'll play for us again, we just have to accept whatever anyone offers as a loan deal. Should never have sent him away in the way that we did, needed to sponge over that and keep ourselves in a position of not being backed up into a corner.

Not to mention Fer, I see him coming in to replace Morgan who will eventually leave this summer for Tottenham. Then you have Reed who we seem to be desperate to push into the team, well Les does, Ronald doesn't seem so keen, especially if he thinks he's keeping all those that we have and signing Fer.

With a salarial mass for the entire enterprise of 52 million £ it was hardly out of control.

Taider plays further forward, he isn't really a DM, millieu relayeur at Grenoble. Couldn't say where he fits in at Inter, nowhere much apparently. They're after Gary Medel, Taider probably had whatever role Medel plays. Anyway I really doubt that Taider will sign for Saints, think he's had the chance to do so before and didn't..

Wait and see what happens when Spurs 23 million £ bid comes in, they've got a bid (apparently) of roughly the same amount for Lamela. One in one out.

10million euros net over the 3 seasons, about 50K£ a week I suppose. About turn after he asked DD what to do (same agent). Go for the CL lad.
