He left with dignity for a club in the Champions League, we got good money for him. Onwards and upwards. I suspect that along with Rickie, he will be welcome back at the club when he hangs his boots up

If Ronald leaves us for Barca in 2 year, no doubt the same will happen. Thats football But there are ways about going about things. i.e. Shaw & Chambers could come back to the club in the future because their transfers were negotiated in a proffessional manner. lallana & LoLvren, have most definatly burned their boats and the buying club & manager must take some of the blame for that

I thought it was a sensible idea. It would have been good for all parties, but obviously Chambers dosn't fancy coming back

There will be limits to what he can (or should!) say at this stage of the transfer window

Sadly I feel this is a blow for two reasons. 1. He was a b****dy good centre back. 2. It reduces the chances of RK staying any longer than his 3 year contract (in his shoes there are limits to how far he can take us if we can't get this sort of deal across the line) But all in all, we are still in an amazing position compared to 5 years ago

Wish him the best of luck. I have a feeling he'll either never really break into the first team OR He'll have a cracking season and we'll be complaining this time next year because the "usual suspects" are trying to sign him on the cheap because he only has a year left on his contract!

Very well put!

Not impossible that his move won't happen until January

I have a feeling that this transfer, if it happens, will go to the wire. I think Morgan will be doing pre season with us

Notts Forest have more history than many clubs.

Interesting which Clyne plays for Liverpool. The one who we saw in the first part of last season or the one we saw in the second.

Will be interesting what the Saints official website says in a few hours time.

Yep, agreed

If anyone has ever been to an action, you decide a price for something and never go over it. I expect Les Reed works on similar lines

At the end of the day, we have little choice but to sell NC & MS. Generally, we have not thought that we have sold any players too cheaply recently. We have a world class manager & a good set up, which should attract good new blood at a reasonable price

I also kept hoping Gaston, would come good. If we can sell him for anything like a reasonable fee, sadly I think we should

My intended point was that he will always go to where the grass is greener (i.e. wage packet is greater) :-)

He showed no loyalty to Palace when he jumped ship to us. True to form really

Just find watching England so tedious at the moment. Clyne & Bertrand should obviously start (even two work mates who are Chelsea & West Ham fans agree on that). But they won't Still, Ricky scoring for England as a Saints player vs Scotland was one of my all time best moments in recent times. Wonder if there will be any more as good as that?

If he leaves for a CL club for £25M + then..............good business and good luck If he forces a move to a nonCL side for less than £15M then..............join Adam & LOLvren in my Saints room 101!

Perhaps some "mentoring" sessions with big Vic in a dark padded room might help

I guess continued European qualification is progress, which of course requires top 6/7 PL or FA Cup

Can't imagine Clyne going to Liverpool. He is too good for their current setup. Man Utd is the most likely followed by staying with Saints IMHO of course
