The "point" about the Mail is that, more than any other paper, seem to have had it in for SFC this summer. How much is BS and who much is true who knows - but they do seem to have an agenda.

The club themselves made a point of saying that the Mail (and the Echo for that matter) print rubbish about the club. Would you disagree that the Mail has printed more negative stories about SFC than most this summer???

Nice that they continued to film from the back view!!!

The point is that the Mail have probably done more muck racking about SFC this summer than any other newspaper which would imply there is some kind of agenda going on.

We were also warned that Osvaldo was a head case.

Used to like Tull back in the day. On a side note, a bloke I used to work with lost his missus to the original drummer of Jethro Tull.

Should negate the need for a medical then.

Good firm action by the management. Shame he did fit the bill but better sorted now than later.

:mcinnes:...

As a kid I had a choice of subbing for the school 1st X1 or playing in the second team. After a while I decided to play for the second team as I wanted to play for 90 mins. Eventually I got a first team place so it paid off - but I hated being sub.

The Mail publishes a lot more rubbish about Saints than other papers but yes - there is a lot of cr*p printed. For example, Capel was supposed to have been a done deal today.

I know he is getting a sheadload of money, but if you were a decent footballer, wouldnt you actually want to play each week?

You can believe or disbelieve all you like. I am just saying that if you believe everything you read in the Mail you are going to be disappointed.

Mail articles = take with a pinch of salt

Why would the management wait until the day of a match to have that conversation with Morgan's agent? I thought it had been "sorted" before Saturday anyway.

Would he have gone to Brazil though? He wasnt a squad regular before his injury. Who would he have replaced?

I know, I know, shame on me!!!

"Inevitable" ???

Hopefully one of the massive shoals of red herrings swimming about today!!!

Damned if you have ambition, damned if you dont. It is not unreasonable to a club/manager to aim for CL football in x years time. It is unreasonable for a club/manager to say they WILL be playing CL football in x years time.

Hopefully it is a load of idle speculation. The media loves transfer windows and like to stoke up interest by throwing as much speculation out there as possible.

Okay, it just seems very odd when Koeman has stated firmly that he is going nowhere. We'll see I guess.

How do you know?

Koeman said he was part of his plans. Daily Mail not best place for facts. Not sure about insurance issues when signing players with serious injuries. I'll believe it if and when it happens.

Not just that but players often get other injuries as they have been out of action a while.
