Sour Mash

Just so I get this right, are you saying that Verdu is better than Gerrard?

Thought the suggestion is we'd be paying £8/10m for him, certainly less than Ramirez?

Sounds promising. Take it none of the Under 20 tournament will be on tv over here?

Why?

I can't remember him saying that either.

I agree, cant yet tell what he'd bring to the side and still a very long way off starting regularly for us or even a Championship team. Another year around our first team squad and then maybe a loan out the year after depending on how he's develped.

In all seriousness, would be handy if the club could announce pre-season fixture plans for those of us potentially interested in such trips.

They looked better without him quite often.

Press office. Ran by a Saints fan ironically.

I don't think Franny Benali will be the best source for transfer news to be honest.

John Terry for that much needed experience and leadership at the back?

Don't know much about him, but 3 red cards in only 18 league appearances last season really doesn't sound great if I've read that right.

What exactly does that mean?

What's the translation into Latin?

Norway are a fairly average footballing nation with only a fraction of the history, heritage and consequent expectations of the English game.

Not sure how that has any influence on England winning a major tournament.

You tuned into Talksport expecting decent, reliable, Saints transfer news?

Yeah if he's an improvement on what we've currently got in that position that 4m for two good seasons could well work out alright.

True, but that article suggests it wouldn't be a particularly low feel based on him having a few years left on his contract and him being in demand elsewhere.

I agree. Been one of the good things of our rise through the leagues down with a core of English lads.

No, if you watched his interviews on Saints player after he signed he said he was fit to play and excited about potentially making his debut at Old Trafford. Not a hint of not playing for 7 months.

How was it anymore of a "£5m" game than many others this season and next? Why was this policy never announced when he signed? Why did he say in all his interviews when he signed that he was fit, ready to play and looking forward to it. How does it suit a player not playing a competitive game for 9 months?

Sounds like we could get better with £9m.

No way would his transfer to us would have been passed through all the medicals and insurance processes if that was known to be true. Bo***ks!

Great result for the scots. I'm still none the wiser on this chap.
