Is it player v player of a midfield comparison? Carrick against Schneiderlin is the same. Cork or Cleverley? Cleverley Wanyama or Anderson? It would be a gues as I have not seen enough of Wanyama too be honest. There we go, in my humble opinion I have given my reasons and answers, you appear to have blindly stated our central midfield is better than Manchester United's.

So by your definition its an expensive specualtion buy?

No we have overpaid for Ramirez and Wanyama we have been naive with Forren, Guly, and Lee etc etc, there is a difference, i do like the signing of him though but we have overpaid gor him.

Ok I do not consider our central midfield to be superior. Carrick is an all round far better athlete than Cork and he has played at the highest levels for years, he also has a fantastic range of passing in his locker. Anderson has to prove himself this year as Wanyama will to, I have faith in Ferguson as opposed to Anderson. Cleverley is a young player learning his craft and I would expect more from him this year but his skill level is above all the mentioned midfielders I have stated. 3 for 3 I would have Uniteds.

Pap can be an odious little **** and I do have the measure of him so I shouldn't bite and should laugh it off as a child like fascination.

No it does not at all, Wanyama is using us as a stepping stone from within the UK, to get the cream from overseas we shall have to overpay hugely, many have fanancial issues and yet wont take our money or let us speak to the player at at very least? I thought Cortese had good Italian connections? Pochetinno Spanish ones? Reed West Dorset? Overpaying willingly or not knowing and being naive are two very different things indeed.

Yes indeed, I would pay an extra £5 so he does not join, the old I would pay if others were not on here and yet I spend my 3 daily posts following them..................

I have supported Saints all my life, a typical childish example of throwing the toys out the pram, I am not a Saints fan as me and you do not agree, for ****s sake boy, grow up.

How many European clubs put in a bid for him? We also overpaid for him to boot.

Cheers Wes, no worries, we a small blip on the European map, being linked with a player without backing up the dough is like Dwayne Dibley trying to pull in a swish nightspot, reality check is needed here Wes, there are probably 40 larger clubs then us in Europe minimum, it only take one of them to offer the same and they will go there if they cna offer European football, we can only offer the possibility of it, we are also a regional City which is not good for a cosmopolitan footballer.

The fact he does not want to come to Southampton does not bode well either.

They dont perceive us, thats the issue Wes.

I believe I have been saying this for months, Cortese has been naive and delusional, the only way to ***** the ears and attention of true European class players is to pay well over the odds, Cortese will not do that (bar Ramirez which was his pet and pride took over) so we will not get them, again keep this post for referal as I am getting bored and tired writing it.

Christ has Japanese football slipped that much?

Wes, do you think Manchester United's midfield is weaker than our's? It as simple as that.

You dont have to be comforatble Tokyo, I'm not comfortable about you standing next to me but you are on the right side of the argument and that supercedes anything we think, at least your lack of human/workers rights does not spread to sexual orientation.

A cure for what?

A disorder, **** me how old are you? You probably like Val Doonican cardigans and polyester trousers but others find that deeply offensive to clothing and their eyes, a disorder **** me again.

Its being bound by religion, how many rich Muslims drink, gamble and then preach backward stoneage ****e to the poor over there? Falcons and ferraris, educated in the West from oil money, that sort of says it all.

Irrespective, your thoughts belong in the Victorian era, infact the Victorians were more enlightened.

Robin I find myself agreeing with you, our fans are the most delusional I have ever come across in my life, this is coming from someone who lives in Liverpool and has to put up up with their ****e, do people never venture out of Shirley, Millbrook or Bitterne? There are an awful lot of football teams and players that are an awful lot better than us. Delusion abounds.

Forum gold this, forum gold.

Outdated **** me, I have banter with all trust me but the joke stops when the person does not find it funny.

Switch gay to black on these posts, it wouldn't happen would it?

I have simply never understood why we should judge someone of their colour or sexual orientation, religion is a completely seperate issue and one that holds many in bondage all around the globe.
