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.

great thanks, hope it's not zoned. Nope it's free for all.

So any commentary or anything for the game ?

What like Chambers being ill you mean.

A knock on his door from another (Italian) club you mean I expect.

is not Twitter merely the modern equivalent of chain letters ? Or going down the pub and repeating whatever you'd heard in a day to all and sundry who in turn repeated it to everyone else they knew. Can't see the difference myself.

We probably won't even get his gran for that. He'll go at well over 20, buy out clause 30 million €s but he's 2 years into that contract.

And it's not just PL clubs, I'm sure Juventus are in the mix somewhere and PSG may still even be in there as well, they were, don't know where they stand on it now.

Meanwhile back to the actual cricket. Not looking too easy for Hants at Bristol today. Put Gloucs in and restricted them to 233. Good start but now we've lost 4 wickets and are behind the run rate, needing 84 off of about 16 overs, not catastrophic yet but with no Carberry and No Maxwell we look light on batting to me.

You're alright still then, it's when you actually stop going to work to play that it get's tricky. We all remember David James and Tomb Raider, first well known video game addict.

or even Pursue

I jest you not, I have a colleague who's granddaughter has just done 6 weeks rehab for addiction to some role playing game. Didn't eat, didn't sleep, failed her baccalaureat. I'm sure he said there were a few FM addicts in there as well.

Probably not even that, some people seem to get FM2014 or whatever it is and reality all intertangled. I believe that their are even cure centres for FM addiction, well I expect they do other video games as well.

It doesn't but it does kind of mean he's not at Staplewood right now I think. I'd think he'll get far better offers than from ourselves.I know PSG enquired but that was back in May. The fact that Sporting only get a quarter of the price makes him more valuable to them than the money. Now if someone offered a real shedload that may be different but they certainly don't decide where he goes or for how much. Plus Sporting have just sold their sort of back up CB,young English chap to Spurs for about 3 million £.

What's Jack's dad saying on the subject these days. Did he not think Koeman was taking overlong to assess his son whilst the injured JRod had been offered a new 5 year contract.

always a possibility, not sure that we do that though. He refused (or reportedly refused) us as part of the Shaw deal on the grounds that we were too much of a step down for him.

i think the main thing that we'd have to work out is him not wanting to play for us.

Well sort of none'ish, well not English ones anyway. Oscar was recruited very young, can't remember if that was by José though, Hazard was young as well. Mourinho is win at all costs and he has no time for home grown players. Look at their signings this summer. Fabregas,Costa,Felipé Luis,Drogba all experienced and Pasalic who they'll no doubt loan out again. José would rather have Drogba than Lukaku because he says Lukaku's attitude is wrong.

Because they've signed yet another Brazilian LB, José wants nothing to do with English players, it's pretty obvious. If you look at their recruitment it's all foreigners, the only home grown senior players that they have left are Cahill and Terry, when those 2 are retired they'll be down to zero. Thus their PL squad will be reduced to 17 + U21s.

How much do you think he'll be currently earning at Sporting Portugal then

Lets wait and see how he gets on at Utd eh.
