We could, of course, simply refuse to deal with Wasserman. Or, if the FA had any, ban Wasserman.

I hear Liverpool are struggling to sign a centre half

Why can't it be?

Agree. Kat has earned our trust imo, and invested a not inconsiderable slice of her personal fortune (which turns out to be less than many of us thought) to get us to this point. For the reasons you state, and the public statements made, I'm content to wait and see. There's chuff all I can do about it anyway.

One man's organic progress is another man's lack of ambition of course.

One two time failure One who got relegated One who managed to win two play-off semi's and a final without scoring a goal when we our fans are moaning about dour football. Frankly, if we'd seriously wanted any of those three, we would have them.

I suspect the last thing we want i9s a full blown investigation. Everybody knows what goes on, but clearly, certainly between clubs in the same league, there should be a level of respect. On this occasion the club determined that Liverpool went beyond the pale, and we are in a sufficiently strong position to do something about it. The last thing we want is to be completely hamstrung in the transfer market ourselves given it is an integral part of the model.

I wonder if Klopp was texting Virgil on the phone the club pays and gets the itemised bill for? Saints accounts department, Monday 5th June 217: Les: Get me Virgil's last phone bill Accounts person: Here it is boss Les: What the F***, look at all these texts to that number. I think I'll just call it Unknown Call recipient: Ja, Virgil mien guter freund Les: Jurgen, is that you?? Unknown call recipient in heavily accepted Scouse accent: Ist das International Rescue??

There's two things they don't get about "Liverpool have ended their interest": 1. Liverpool have ended their interest 2. The statement is prima facie evidence that they tapped him up in the first place.

This is when you're at your best. Good work.

Clearly the story here is that a deal isn't agreed if we haven't agreed to it - or even been approached. This will stand us in good stead for many years to come.

I might be mis-remembering, but I thought you posted the deal was all agreed??

This is brilliant.

Why not just ask the people you know at the club. #notreallyitk

History suggests otherwise.

Well, that isn't going to happen

Ha ha ha. Good one.

Prediction: We will always sell players. That is all.

Crikey, there's some proper ******** spouted on here.

It generally doesn't work like that though, I believe. Essentially Saints put him on gardening leave, and continue to pay his salary. If he wants to accept an offer somewhere else, then the compo/salary discussion gets going.

You are mistaken.

Whilst I'm not in favour of Monk, assuming Puel goes, I'm also willing to concede I no nothing. I knew nothing when we appointed the failed Espanyol manager, and I probably know less now.

Agree, but Bayer are a definite step down from Dortmund. Whilst the same is true of Saints, it's a different challenge and may just attract him.

Do you drink with Eric?

Except Kat isn't German
