Window Cleaner

He wants to play in the CL if possible and certain for a Top 5 PL club, he's made no secret of it all year, he gives a lot of interviews to the French Press...even to the Echo. Few other of our players do that, he must have a relatively limited freedom of expression clause. He wanted to go top 5 with Saints, it hasn't happened yet and like others he's afraid that it may well not ever.

I think it's gone further than that already. reading between the lines this says to me, there are clubs who want me but I'm not going to ask for a transfer, the clubs have to work it out between themselves in such a way that Saints get a fair amount.

Hmmm honest but always correct as per usual. Schneiderlin : «Je sais qu'il y a beaucoup de spéculations autour de mon transfert. J'ai encore trois ans de contrat, mais mon avenir ne dépend pas de moi. Il faut qu'un club tombe d'accord avec Southampton, qui a une situation financière stable. Quand je regarde autour de moi, je ne vois que des joueurs qui jouent la C1, c'est un rêve, c'est la prochaine étape. Mon objectif, ce serait bien de jouer dans un club qui dispute le top 5. Pour la visibilité, c'est mieux aussi, mais par respect pour Southampton, je ne préfère pas dire que j'ai envie de partir. » I know that there is a lot of speculation about my transfer, I've still got 3 years left on my contract but my future isn't in my hands. It needs a club to reach an agreement with Southampton who have a stable financial situation.When I look around me I only see players who are playing in the CL, it's a dream, it's the next step. My aim is certainly to play for a club who are playing for a place in the Top 5, it's better for being noticed as well, but out of respect for Southampton I prefer not to tell them that I want to leave.

But who is the Dragon Woman...........

The U18s have had quite a decent campaign I think apart from getting turned over by Charlton in the FA Youth Cup. The U21s,well there I'm not so sure, seem to remember they've been a bit erratic.

nothing new though is it. His source(or he himself) have been mute for a while now.

Why would there be legal issues over routine sackings then? Must be controversial sackings for something untoward.

I could see the U21 coach getting the boot though, not a great season and a few not really fulfilling expected potential.

that wouldn't be classed as behind the scenes anyway. the club seem to be recruiting a lot of people just lately, non-football posts mainly but there was a shake up in the Global Marketing setup a while back I think.

the poison dwarf, wouldn't last 30 seconds in the PL, a very small big jessy.

OK he's worth 4 and 8 pence now then instead of 4 bob. Our best hope is shifting him to Valencia whilst their new owner doesn't mind losing a few bob on big names with dodgy characters.

However there seems to be a bit of interest for Mancini just these last days. I am not at all convinced Mauricio wants to go there at all, just that he doesn't want to get shafted with a team of kids at SFC.

Know the lad well from his days in the kids at StE. Hasn't really kicked on at Monaco and he's not really a striker. Not anywhere near the quality of JRod.

There's a decent (or was 2 years back) campsite at Castellane, you can look it up on the information super highway no doubt. Should be Ok before the french and dutch school hols.

they'd only appeal to a tribunal and get a shedload at the end of the day. It's like back in the old days when certain types of shops couldn't trade on Sunday. There was an outfit round Bournemouth/Poole way who gave you a free carpet of your choice with a pound of carrots sold at the exact price of the carpet chosen. It lasted about 2 weeks I think before they got hauled before the relevant tribunal and heavily fined.

And you come to that conclusion how?

Indeed he should or Kurzawa. Both probably better than Shaw for a fraction of the price. Sell him that's what I say, get the money and get a better player and have some left for a striker.

Bit of a trek though, must be over 300 miles from Nice. Different part of the country. Honestly though La Côte D'Azur is vastly overated, invaded by all sorts of riff-raff to an extent where a couple of major towns are now controlled by the FN (Avignon,Orange) and the others are controlled by the hard right of the hard right. Languedoc Roussillon is far better and less touristy.

No but here's a tip for you. Brush up on your Russian and bring your cash in a wheelbarrow. Cote D'Azur has been invaded by the Russian mob and their Roumanian slaves.

Well BWP scored the 2 goals for us though, when he replaced pie-boy Hammill after an hour.

Justly Evra is out of contract at the end of June, no doubt he has an offer to stay on but it's strongly rumoured that he'll listen to the sirenes at Monaco who are in the CL whereas MU aren't. Utd are desperate for a LB but probably won't pay what we're asking for Shaw.

We can be anyone we want to be....provided we can find a 30 goal a season striker....same as everyone else. We create all the chances we need, we don't put enough of them away.

apparently Mauricio did his negociating for him, probably why he was seen in Marseille a while back.

What do you expect when it's on cheap and nasty public TV to be honest.

Nonsense, Lallana wasn't a great talent back in 2008, couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo when shooting. If he had been able to we might not have even been relegated. Surman was a very average player. Think we got more for McGoldrick than we did for Surman.
