I am baffled that people can't see that he struggles to express himself in English. How good is your French.

This shows what stonking hypocrites fans are when they whine about about players choosing to leave the club. They can slag off players all they want if they don't think they're any good but they'll scream like a big girly if a players they rate chooses to leave. Loyalty should be a 2 way street. A player having a hard time should expect support unless they clearly have no interest. That cannot be said about Redmond.

SOurce?

Should we be stealing Celtic's scouting team?

So what are your practical and plausible methods of retaining our players if they want to go?

I suppose a county mile is not as bad as a country mile so perhaps a bit of hope there

I suspect that the numbers involved are not sufficient for any valid statistical conclusions to be drawn.

How is being in the Premiership mediocre?

1. The more we scout the luckier we get. 2. If player is determined to go it will be on our terms 3. Southampton.pton is a good club to go to because you are developed as a player but your ambition is not stifled although you would be expected to give us at least two seasons Just my opinion.

Flipping 'eck - you're not just reading between the lines, you are reading between each individual letter.

I think that you need to qualify this with the word "then" as in "how bad it was then". But to remain stuck in a time warp that assumes that nothing has changed in Stadium construction, technology and management is just being obstructive for the sake of being obstructive. I would challenge you to explain how a Hillsborough could recur in a stadium constructed along the lines shown in a post above. In truth the current situation where people stand without there being a barrier is actually more hazardous. They may be breaking the law but it is happening in every stadium every week and there is little in practical terms that the stewards can do about it The obvious solution is safe standing - and it is safe. FWIW I have no desire to stand but I believe that those who enjoy their football more standing should have that choice

You know, I've never understood why you weren't appointed England u21 manager with incisive analysis like that

And,significantly, they all played in the Euros and missed much of preseason. Your comment on Hobjerg is based on one game.He was fine until then

There is not much evidence from what I have read about this group that they will be bringing big, big money to the table. £200m (or whatever the price turns out to be) simply buys the club as it stands. You would need double or triple that on top to compete with the Man Cities of this world.

That's the first time that I have seen you show blind optimism.

And a touch tongue in cheek too

The last I heard was that their success was in balance.

There are not any good draws at this stage. At some point you have to meet 'em and beat 'em to win a trophy.

It is a situation where he had to leave to find out how good what he had was. Sadly it is now too late to go back. I don't much care what the view of a Manc supporter is. We have seen a lot more of him than he has and he is a class player whose talent is being wasted by the mess that is Man U. I would would have him back but he is more likely to go elsewhere - not in the premiership I hope

A cracking idea - then we can judge the mood of the fan base from the amount of support each gets. Does Alpine actually play?

The season ends in April - where they or we are at the moment is of little consequence

Do you know that for certain?

Yet every player in every team have all done it at some point. Sh1t happens but apparently not allowed for Classie
