Secret Site Agent

Well Done, I wish I had done this. Kudos, Sir,Kudos

If you read my post it says they are calling that where I am, (or was working) which was Chain Bar in Manchester, not where I am from. Personally wish I hadn't included that but was a bit of site office banter during August.

I come from Southampton. You? Where do you come from? And why do you want to know? and what bearing has it on this thread? and why do you find it strange?

I would just like to point out that here:https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/st...31938702893060, is not only VVD scoring a big one in training,but it alos have Mr Bertrand with a nice grin on his face.........perhaps Charlie is right.

I just want to sound you all out on the following. Having had the VVD affair, or VanDammGate as they are calling it where I am, I was wondering in a conversation about VVD and Bertrand, (and after responding to a post on here) about Bertrand. Despite not being happy, do you think that he might 'want away' to a big club and have the same mind set as VVD? I question this, because he came to us from Chelsea, where he spent most of his time on loan or having a few minutes off the bench.Also his England career was a little hit and miss. I just wonder if, unlike VVD, he would be a bit more shrewed about m9oving to a bigger team for a bigger wage, but is reluctant due to concerns he'll end up on the bench again? He has flourished with us and is playing regularly, so why make such a rash move? Wont say he will be here forever, and I do expect him to be swallowed up by a bigger boy, (NOT Liverpool though), but just wonder if this is one of his dilemmas. Over to you and what you think, and this does include those that will respond with their idiotic one liners, and those that will take a tangent and get onto other things, plus those that will just moan about other posters.

The inherent fault lies with the fact that an agent gets a large pay day when a player moves, so has no real incentive for the player to stay apart from a minor retainer and a chunk of any advertising or endorsement deals that they arrange. And they can be persuasive, even if you think you are happy where you are. So, no, don't agree with the 26 year old man who makes up his own mind, as if he is given a green and pleasant land, he may well plump for it.

Who? Danny Butterfield? I don't even think he's registered, let alone able to sit on the bench

Why? Why turbulant?

Your three posts out. AK and I are in agreement. Knickers untwisted but question still lingers.

Sheesh?Sheesh? Who are you Richie Cunningham? Sheesh. A ffs I could deal with,or a talking ****e.

To me I think the owner needs more time but he will either be really really good for the club or really really bad. I can't see a Leibherr middle ground tbh. But we have a good foundation and things have started to change so we'll see.

And chelsea, and elseware and nowhere. Thanks for the Wind Up:lol:

Bournemouth Airport less than an hour drive from the Saints’ stadium Not forgetting Southampton airport which is 5 minutes from the stadium. And trust me, he wasn't at Hearn, never has been and probably never will be in the next week. And I had to check with the man on the doors for this.

Bournemouth Airport less than an hour drive from the Saints’ stadium Not forgetting Southampton airport which is 5 minutes from the stadium. And trust me, he isn't at Hearn, never has been today and probably never will do. And I had to check with the man on the doors for this.

Next week it'll be that Liverpool never wanted him in the first place, that he is crap, and not worth 15million even

It could be 80m euros, which equates to 75 million Poonds, (or 6 1/4 schlongs)

This coming from another ITK. Agree wholeheartedly.

Dear Tom28 Keep on posting. Been where you are for a small amount of time, and worried I had cost someone their job, so keep it on the QT and protect your source. Dear Everyone else. If you don't believe Tom28, then please carry on not believing him, but don't try and convince the rest of us by snide, sniping comments, as these are not fact and, in you opionion, doesn't carry any weight. We don't care, we don't want to know,we're not interested in name calling and belittling. For any that believe he is making it up and can prove this, please do so. For those that believe, good for you. Generally, a good hearty debate is what we want, with facts and informed comment. The 'liar,liar pants on fire' defense doesn't carry much credence here. Now, back to the squabbling

How mental is it to turn down 70 million for VVD?its all relative

RIP Bill

I thought Maggie May had abandoned this forum due to my satire on VVD and his agent.!!!! I seem to remember talk of camels, backs of such beasts, and straws being mentioned in the same breath. I for one am glad that she is back, but her falsehood there not only wounded my heart with a monotonous languor, but does cast doubt on her claims that he will not come.:?????

I think we understand each other. I too am a little concerned on what our business plan is, and I don't think it is as bad as predicted. I think it'll certainly be a change in the way we are manged but wonder if the best course is to invest to improve our standing and increase our rewards. As you say, time will tell.

No i don't think you are wasting your time replying and I have no problem with debate. However, I do have a problem with us basing our opinions on one piece in a newspaper, and I have asked a different question. You state that Goa has borrowed the money from the Chinese government backed bank, fair enough, but is this your opinion, do you base that on fact, and if so, is it because it's what the Times is saying? Simple question I think. Finances aren't my bag,per se, but information is, especially how communication can be used to achieve any result, if taken at face value. Also the ability to interpret it in a way that benefits our argument. i.e. Goa has said that MP wont ever get any transfer cash ever, or Goa has said that MOPO wont get any cash in this transfer window, butr will get oodles of it in the next, or, simply, No cash this month, no more to say. Same statement, three interpretations, all valid dependant on what argument I wish to put up. Also logic, if I lend someone some money to buy a car, I don't expect him to rip out the stereo and seats and sell them on e-bay to start giving me back my cash. This is me applying my logic to question the veracity of the statement 'Goas backers want returns straight away.' The final thing is that I have deliberately not gone back to the article but relied on my memory. This means that I have based my argument on my interpretation of the article, and not dissected facts. So, in a nutshell, i'm glad you responded, i found your response interesting, but you didn't answer my question.

Also, when did Lander invest in us? I thought it was Gao? Or are we still making things up to fit our argument.

Your my mate, couldn't agree more.
