Olallana

I´d rather give Lamela a way out of there...

Townsend IN Lallana NOT OUT http://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/southampton/southampton-eye-tottenham-ace?

That makes complete sense....

I actually thinks Atletico togeter with clubs like Inter Milan and AC Milan might be teams that could take a punt on Osvaldo, especially Atletico with Costa leaving.... not that it makes more likely with David Villa to Saints though imo... But there´s also a case that if the board are interested to kickstart the commercial side, they might want/need to sanction a transfer of a true star player...

I rest my case, your honour.

if you say so

No, he just went to U18 games with Pochettino and Reed on a lot of occassions...

The interesting link was this one... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/01/premier-league-accounts-club-by-club-david-conn The wage bill table looked like this (wage % of turnover) 1. Man City £233m (86% of turnover) 2. Man Utd £181m (50%) 3. Chelsea £179m (69%) 4. Arsenal £154m (54%) 5. Liverpool £152m (64%) 6. Spurs £96m (65%) 7. QPR £78m (128%) 8. Aston Villa £72m (85%) 9. Fulham £67m (92%) 10. Everton £63m (73%) 11. Newcastle £62m (65%) 12. Stoke £60m (90%) 13. Sunderland £58m (76%) 14. West Ham £56m (62%) 15. WBA £54m (77%) 16. Norwich £51m (68%) 17. Swansea £49m (73%) 18. Southampton £47m (65%) 19. Reading £46m (78%) 20. Wigan £44m (79%)

Cynical foul from Pochettino there....

Australian A-league used as an example......ok I thought I´ve heard it all, but not until now I´m 100% sure. Thanks mate.

In a way playing good football is more important in our position imo. If you´re winning things you can always get away with not so pretty football but what is the meaning finishing 8th-9th with boring football.....wont attract fans to the stadium in the same way...

All top 8 teams are in the top 9 of possession......seems like it might matter a bit....

BM won the league in february. I´ll take that.

Pep Guardiola has won 16 of the last 22 tournaments his teams has played in with that style. I´ll take that.

There were 3 questions that you didn´t answer there to start with.

dropping quickly. Started the day at 9.2 and already down to 8.9...

So what´s the flavour of the week for you this week? Two weeks ago you were hoping that he stays, now it seems like you have switched the flavour.....? And how come it is important in the Pardew case that they are 9th when it was such a disgrace for us to go on a bad run even if we were 8th?? No I dont expect any answers from you, you´re an idiot who dont know what the word discuss means. You´re very good on a close word to that though, discusting.

Not even with big money? After all, that´s all that players want.....

If they think that it´s strange to give a 6 in rating with team average of 7...

Strange question for someone so itk......just sayin...

Hangeland? No, I´ve seen cargo ships turn faster... Then you haven´t read the opening post, just the title.

You still want Hangeland?

Indeed.

Agree about the tackle. (even though I have my opinion on Welbecks footballing brain to not put the ball into the open space with his first touch) Funniest tackle was Big Vic on Wilshere at their place. (cant find a gif or video of it now)

I think it´s more a stand from everyone at the club not to answer all silly (or not silly) rumours and get on with football. Anyone who has seen the pregame pressers last month or two will understand if everyone at the club is fed up with it at the moment and has decided to just not answer journos questions about it.
