Oh, the irony of this coming from Mr. One-Liner...

I just talked to a couple of Italian colleagues in my office. This is being followed surprisingly closely by Italian neutrals. I asked one question and the answer lasted 10mins. Apparently ADP is still very much into his football and not having played in the PL is viewed by him as a hole in his achievements. Also, with the pressure off last season many observers felt his game improved, he scored some great goals and still put in a full season. The Italians in my office reckon the reason the Syndney deal isnt closed is because he will come to us. Only telling you what I've been told.......

Oh, I agree, most definitely. Unlike Beckham, who didnt win that much. But if he is not 100% into the football anymore, and is going to be a bit of a passenger, thant Sydney are welcome to him. I am just wondering what NCs motivation is on this one : the glamour or the football ?

I think people see what they want to...

If I had a choice, yes. Doesnt mean I wouldnt welcome Ramirez. Subtlety is lost on some of you

so Olympiakos and Sion are out of the running ? If we lost out to Sydney I'd be gutted. What sort of heritage do they have compared to us, and what sort of gravitas does their league have compared to the EPL. If he goes there, we know he doesnt give a sh*t about the football anymore, just like Beckham when he went to LA Galaxy. In which case they can have 'im.

Would you have been happier if the title had stated " Was a player of the nature of GR really an important priority over other reinforcements for this summer ?"

Really ? Please point me to the post where I said he was a waste of money and we shouldnt have bought him...

I am going to look at this another way.... If I were given the choice as to which of our new signings gets off to a flying start, settling quickly - one from Ramirez, Mayuka, and Yoshida, it would have to be Yoshida, since I think the need for him is the most urgent.

I share the sentiments of goodwill towards Leon, and am pleased he is still supporting and welcomed by the club, unlike the various shysters that were involved in that whole sh*tty period.

OK, so maybe the cause I postulated is correct, just not the source.

Try seeing if the machine legs are really all in contact with the floor, and if not, adjust them so they are. Vibration from resting on an uneven floor or uneven legs doesnt show up until maximum spin speed in most cases. If you have loads like single bedspreads or a few big towels, the balance of the drum can be uneven if the load all settles in one place. Does it happen with all the wife's g-strings inside ? Maybe the drum has come loose. Empty the machine out, stick your hand in an push it up-and down. There should be plenty of resistance, if it feels loose and you feel/hear rattling, the drum is loose. Does the drum hold water OK, or do you notice the machine often refilling ? Maybe the drum is distorted and leaking. Maybe the bearing is knackered. That requires some dismantling, perhaps that is a job for an experienced repair man. But you might detect that by unusual noises at slow speeds too. Any warning lights / codes ? Often machines send an LED on the control panel to blink in a certain pattern if there is a problem, other machines with more sophisticated control panels might display an error code. Then you simply need to do a google search for the model and the blink sequence/code.

Chaplow, Hammond, DeRidder, Goolie OK, so they are all nominally midfielder not strikers, but tbh all this formation palava makes me think we play into two units now - defence and attack.

Isnt it.

Nonsense. He was our player of the season in League 1. Most Saints fans are very loyal to him and it pains them to see him struggling at this level. But we also cherish having our top-spot back. And in the same way so many of you endorse the decision to show no sentimentality and send Billy Sharp on his way (after 1 sub appearance, not 3 full games, FFS...), some action needs to taken about Fonte's struggle.

If you like.

Its possible, thats all I am saying. Central defence is all about understanding, communication and reliance on your partner.

Well, we all agree on that.

But its a fair bit less than Sydney. We might need to up that by a couple of K per week.

Well, log-off if you dont like it .

Careful, or your post full of common sense will be accused of nothing but moaning.

Here we go again...

The reasonable quality of discussion after the first few "troll" shrieks suggests otherwise.

Thats only 25K GBP per week. Take into account football standard and proximity to Mama and her home-made pasta sauce, we shoud get him for 18-20K.
