del boy

Is Taider any good, or just the price we have to pay to get rid of Osvaldo?

good shout - Dutch management, living within our means, bringing the kids through... years ahead of his time

Once again, as if we didn't know it, we have proof that no one on this forum is really ITK Still hoping that we have 2 top class CBs just waiting to be announced sometime this week (yeh right)

The answer is usually 5

Tweeted by Michael Owen...."On a serious note, Southampton have received top dollar and should be applauded. Time to invest wisely and continue to trust their academy"

"The Saints are looking to continue their policy of buying British..." ??

Hope he's not there to drown his sorrows.....with a lot of money to spend! ...but nice to get some positive rumours for a change

slagging each other off is what most posts seem to be. Theres probably the basis for a psychology PhD thesis there. I still keep looking in case the occasional transfer snippet sneaks in

Enjoying this double theme chaps, much more entertaining than the usual squabbles over who said what, who knows best, who's more ITK etc The occasional reference to transfers is a bonus

Brilliant! ...I'm afraid you're showing a distinct lack of ITKness there, but aren't we all

Just to re-cap - today was going to be the day?

This thread at least confirms that Saints are very good at keeping things quiet (or nothing is happening) and we have absolutely no-one in ITK

Usual protocol is to start a new thread, thus indicating a higher level of ITKness and leaving this thread free of any transfer related clutter

Its only clever if they already know he's going to sign. Would be embarrassing announcing the offer and then him not signing it - it would have been better to keep quiet.

there must be some photos of that?

Excellent, he can go straight into the squad for Tuesdays game

don't not DONT

he plays on the left.... Dusan Tadic makes Adders look .... Sorry Adam, but you've changed

Its going to be difficult to negotiate when everyone knows we have £100M to spend - lucky we still have the watches as our trump card

players tied into a long contract - pah! ....doesn't he know the Southampton Way?

this sums it up for me also. Rickie and Luke kept pretty quiet and went with some degree of professionalism. Such a shame, and something Adam will look back on and regret - although the £26 mill will ease the guilty feeling

would be nice if it was of the bony variety...ha ha, what was I thinking

Looks good - especially if he can also defend

Thats a shame, he looks to fit the bill better than most. I don't know how people know all these things... unless its just a pure guess for comic effect - I used to think Alpine was serious until I saw through the brilliance of his wind up ology I must be the only one not in the kitchen

Thats an impressive bladder for his age - get him in
