What a pikey sponsor, should've held out for grey goose

Zaha might be worth a punt, can't see him playing at united anytime soon. Clyne being here would help him settle too

I can't see more then a £10mill nett spend this summer, I think netts the right term. Luckily we've got a huge amount of money invested in players doing nothing, we could raise 25mill without any real effect on the team.

Good article, nice to hear a bit more detailed clarification from someone at last. It'll be interesting to know what they'd consider adequate investment. I think £30mill plus any money from Osvaldo etc and we could push top 6. That isn't a huge sum for a top half team

He seems a bit cringe like Adkins was. I find it hard to trust anyone that overly nice, it seems overly American and fake and as if he's been picked to put some media spin on funding cuts tbh.

No sh#t......no offence. Not a single player in our squad is remotely close to Le Tiss, he's untouchable in terms of skill, loyalty and being mr southampton

Fantastic news, he's an absolute top drawer player and it might stop him getting restless here

Don't be so quick to judge, I was just about to offer to send him some bubblebath and scented candles to turn his frown upside down.

Hold on a second, are you mad? It's just you're sounding a tad mad?

What I don't quite get is, who in their right mind would pay the money required, ie £25mill+ plus to sign Lallana. Only the top few teams can afford that, and without being harsh to him, they can get better players.

Where did you see that?

Cortese got the sack, Kruger said Katarina approached him about the job last year.

Just being truthful, I'd be livid. He's got no real reason to leave, he'll be nothing more then a sub player at a top club like Bridge was and we're not a million off of being Spurs/Everton standard which is about his quality. Shaw I could understand, at least he's got the potential to be a first team regular pretty much anywhere.

I would, I'd forever think of him as the horrible c#nt that started the ball rolling of players leaving for no real reason.

He looked like he was about to cry because he knows he's leaving tbh.

Yep, just thought exactly the same.

Jesus it's hard to hate Osvaldo, the man is dripping in swag

Who else is just watching in the hope Lallana and Shaw will say they love it here and are gonna stay?

Or maybe keep our key players who all have about 4 years left on their contracts. Either or

What's the great appeal in going to Spurs exactly? I know they're a big club but so are Leeds.

I understand it can be frustrating when people question your flawed line of thought, but it's no reason to derail such a thought provoking thread.

Because most sane people don't judge a players quality over just one season. You were trying to be a sarcastic tw#t because I said he's replaceable then quickly went "herp derp who cares what you think" when I pointed out you're talking sh#t.

So that's a "no I'm not going to answer because it ****es on my argument" then?

Remind me again how many goals we've scored since Jay Rod got injured, or how good Lallana was last season compared to the two players I just mentioned?
