From a 'cold light of day perspective':
He has given Saints years of good service, from div 1 to the Premier League. He was, without a doubt, our top performer last season. The captain of our side, playing the best football I can remember. Yes, it's true, he hasn't handled his move brilliantly but hell, he's going to be paid a shed load of money to play at one of the biggest clubs in the world for what could be the best years of his short career. It's a no brainer for a twenty six year old lad with a very poor beard.
From 'a passionate Saints fan's perspective':
5 year contract you f***ing lying c**t. Kiss my rusty badge you f**k and stick your one page advert up your f**king arse.
