Couldn't even see him on the video that goes with the Ryan Bertrand interview, maybe he's on "special training" with the U12s or something.

Trouble is Saints don't seem to want Billy Sharp to play for them, catch 22 situation really.

Well at at guess I'd say he's still here despite a few loan outs because he's got a contract that says we have to pay him about 1.2 million £ per annum and no-one else wants to give him that. If you believe the Echo the club have told him he can have a free transfer if he can find a suitable deal with another club. Hardly what you'd tell someone that the manger really wants to keep is it.

Whoa there, he has to find a club that will pay him well yet, until then we're stuck with his salary until next June. Doubt if he's going to move on for less, hasn't done so up until now. If he can get a near offer maybe, but doubt if he'll accept a lot less.

Old fashioned parlance really.

Jake Sinclair is now 19 going on 20, if he's going to make the grade then he'd better get his skates on soon.

Well no, they got roundly beaten ..twice so it would have made no difference really.

Whatever happened to the last home friendly fun day. Some seemed to like that IIRC.

Apparently we've cooled off on the subject of Schletto (don't think we were ever that hot actually) and he's now as likely as not going to Parma, cos well Inter seem keen on fobbing him off on someone.

If Sporting Portugal actually owned the player they might be a bit more flexible over the fee, as it stands they lose what must be to them a key player and receive virtually sod all. They'll end up getting as much for an unknown England U21 International as they probably will for a world cup finalist. The kazakh loan shark however will be rubbing his hands on his Turkish based yacht with some extra totty no doubt.

However was it not reported that Krueger made Liverpool pay for at least the basic fees for Lallana and Lovren in one hit. Or was that just some anti-Krusty getting overexcited?

And we won't see him coming...well unless we are at Carrington that is. Utd wanted Vermaelen, they won't get him cos he'll go to Barca so I expect Blind is their fall back option.

Drawn against Maribor, think they'd have about an even chance of getting through. They should have beaten Legia really, lack of preparation perhaps or just that their new manager hasn't got a clue what he's doing.

They don't get much of it anyway, I wonder if they actually know that 75% of whatever they get ends up in the coffers of a kazakh backed venture capitalist.

looks that way, strange way of doing things though, perhaps it's a potential loan deal or something.

Well it seems that provisional medicals in case you find an agreement with the player's club at some time in the near future are now all the rage.

I firkin well hope not, Davis i mean.

That was on the transfer rumours thread somewhere or other when the relative merits of Boruc and Forster were being discussed, it's a long thread, can't be arsed to trawl through and find it really but it's there somlewhere, fill your boots if you've got a couple of hours to spare. Here you go, post 3501 transfer rumours thread, link here http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/329981.html

didn't Turnbull go on loan to Swindon or did they judge him to be not good enough?

You need to get your ducks in a row with Barcelona Saint then Sidney. One says he had 2 offers including one from us and the other says no offer at all. One of you 2 ITKs is then wrong. Then again it could be just wags at the club winding both of you up.

So he is

that sounds like ungood news then.

Why, we're no doubt paying them less than those that we've replaced. Aren't salaries and stuff what the PL give us money for, not to mention selling tickets There is absolutely no need whatsoever for salaries to be subsidised by transfer profits, not at our level of salary anyway. We made 79 odd million from the PL funds and we no doubt make another 20 million or so from ticket sales. Egg told us that the club had an overall salary mass of about 52 million last season, since then we've shipped out a few no doubt high earners. So what are we doing with our football earnings.

Butb the club gets the lions share of the money, in this case it ends up with a Kazakh investment banker.

Quoi ? You've got the wrong bloke, don't ever remember going to Bangkok. Don't do hookers, never have. Try B Earsy B.A Esq.
