Unbelievable Jeff

You say that, but I have called him out all Summer. We had many Twitter conversations and he wouldn't answer a number of questions I asked. Personally, I think he spoke to those who were leaving, who fed him ****, and he fell for it hook, line and sinker.

It wasn't actually to call people out - it was more on the back of the fact that Adam Blackmore chats ****.

"Speaking with the people making the decisions at the club, it was clear to me that they had big ambition, and they were determined to bring players in, but that's easier said than done." Kelvin Davis We were told that the club weren't talking to the players, and that no-one knew what was going on? Or was this only when Lallana et al were trying to push their moves through and blame the board?

Have to say a MASSIVE well done to the football development and scouting department for the players they have managed to find and bring in, and also a massive well done to Katharina for having the balls to back them after the Osvaldo debacle. The players we have brought in look a big step up compared to those had last season, and have ever had in my lifetime to be honest, and i think credit where it's due. It gives me faith that next season if/when we lose Morgan and possibly one other we have the right people in place to find a suitable replacement. #Wemarchon

The guy is top class. Future £30m player in my opinion.

Think that's 'Belgian'...

To be fair Turks, gotta say if he has a real problem it's a bit harsh mocking him for it...

Already have!!

There aren't many drives, and those that there are tend to be double drives. I am applying to make our drive a double drive as that will solve the issue. Will cost a bit of money but what can you do. They are just a nuisance, like pikeys, but seem to be a law unto their own.

No, because we don't park on the street, we have a drive to park in. Have you read the thread at all?

Maybe. I just think we're going to get taken down a peg or two this week after last week's freak result.

Judging by this thread a bona fide top 4 side. It also looks like people haven't watched Stoke in a while, they aren't a physical, long ball team anymore and haven't been for a while.

I don't mind Stoke, the football used to be agricultural but isn't so much anymore. Fans are passionate, even if they have lost their 'edge' in recent years. Think it'll be a close game, as we're not as good as we think and they are also better than we think. I'm going for 1-0 Saints, 68th minute winner from Schneiderlin.

I really don't know actually. I'd love another cup final, but then I'd love to finish high up in the League. There's only one way to find out. FIGHT!!!!!!

I have to say I have never been convinced by him previously, but he really is quite decent isn't he? I'm very impressed.

God, he had a good Summer didn't he?

I hope it was an apology.

Good stuff!! It is very confusingly explained on the website as well!

It can be activated at any point during his loan agreement. No other team can bid for him during this time.

10m I believe.

Yeah, why not? I think it was nearly £10m of the Lallana money was based on appearances etc, and loyalty payments probably was probably about £10m, so that's £20m already. We don't know the payment structure for our deals or there's, but bigger transfers tend to have larger payments paid over time, especially now with FFP. TV money gets paid throughout the year with a large payment at the end of the year and is usually used to pay off wages debt from throughout the year - the surplus is then used with season ticket sales to invest in players the next Summer. That's what happens if the club is going to be self-sustaining. In addition to that we may not be able to spend anymore this year or we may break our FFP budget.

I noticed that. Don't forget when you take into account the loyalty payments etc, and without knowing the structure of the deals that money becomes diminished.

No surprise. Been better than Shaw so far IMHO.

That's a great answer. Can't disagree with any of that really.
