Us "being after him" would make no difference whatsoever to the situation. He wants to go to a club that's at the top of the pile and just now that's not the case at either Arsenal or Southampton; People seem to have difficulty in understanding just to what extent ambition drives some people.

I'd never, ever set too much store on whatever Krueger may be saying or not saying. He is just a verbal machine that just has to spout something or other for all occasions. If those who really matter at the club suspect than Van Dijk will in fact not play for us this half season, then they'll sell him, no matter what Kueger might have said.

Shopping done ? Kind of normal, we have too many players for our needs anyway. That a fair few of them aren't good enough is a totally different concern. Should have been selling to anyone who was interested in buying all summer long. Hojbjerg, Clasie, Pied etc, all that just isn't up to standard. Why I'd even have tried to offload Boufal cos he really isn't that great, needs to go back to France where powder puffs such as he rule the roost.

Perhaps he didn't read Les's text outlining how fantastic they all are.

you've put your finger on it there, average, that's what we are, average manager, average players signed for average prices. If you want the best you have to pay for it and or pay to keep it and we don't do that.

Never mind he's got another 5 year contract anyway. So after what 5 years with Saints on and off that makes 10 years of contract for him. Not bad for a distinctly average keeper on most occasions, although when he does play well, he plays well.

Why would we loan out Gallagher and sign Karamoh who's of about the same standard really? That wouldn't make much sense now would it.

doubt it, there are far too many suitors for Athletico to take a loan deal. Monaco, Sampdoria, Valencia, Saints if you like, one of them will pay, Monaco would be my favourite there.

James and Tremlett seemed to think that it was T20 knockout stage experience wot won it. Oh and some monster hitting by Afridi.

Do none of them ever wonder where they get all those virgins from?

Just another one of our common criminal whackos though. Got sent to Marseille for therapy for psychatric troubles. Mind you we don't have terrorists here, just whackos who should in theory be in institutions or in this case prison. Since we had that weirdo woman from the Antilles as Justice Minister, you really have to be the quintessence of evil (and then some) to do any prison or asylum time. She maintained that virtually all crime is the fault of "the system" whatever that may be. Second, third, fourth and fifth chance for all.

Well that was just poor defending.

:?Told you they are crap. Bilic will be gone by the end of the month.

He was shîte last week, then again weren't they all.

What can you expect with the sums that they've been a spending this summer, apart from Spurs that is and they're just gearing up with a 40 million £ centre back.

But it's not actually 113million, it's about 80 million and a shedload of adds on including a packet for winning "Ballon D'Or". If Barcelona actually bid in excess of 100million cash on the nail, then they'd get their man.

Pretty awful yesterday evening eh! Still Derbys away, could be worse I suppose. As James and Maru pointed out, a week without a game does not lead to very much positive.

Probably about as important as our game this evening. There must be a scenario where we fail to qualify for the quarters but it's probably pretty far fetched. Still he higher you finish, the lesser your QF opponents in theory. There will no doubt be a good crowd to please though.

Sounds about right because this window has about 10 days to run and if we suddenly tried to spend a packet it wouldn't necessarily be all that wise. Why we'd probably end up spending 65 million on Ross Barkley (injured for 3 months now) to show our intent.I'm already dubious enough about what we have bought and are apparently about to buy without clacking another packet on the spur of the moment.

Two and six ? I seem to remember getting 14 bob for the 6 days of Echo round, 15 for the morning paper round and about 7 and 6 for Sundays. Jeez the trade unions of today would have a fit, think I was doing about 30 hours a week and school at the same time.

No doubt you could by simply deleting your post, doubt if she cares one way or t'other though.

This deal is because the old owner wanted her money, nothing more, nothing less so we need to cut the crap about everything else.

There is no world cup place for VvD because the dutch won't qualify so what does he care really. This will probably not end well at all. All Dutch WC qualifiying hopes will be over on the 31st August.

I don't think they'd even know how to be a particularly negative. Did no-one else watch them then? It was a public rec side really. Couldn't string 2 passes together, aimless punting most of the time.

Is she still a going concern then ?
