This I agree with.

Why do people think that Laudrup is so wonderful. He didn't exactly cover himself in glory at Swansea and he clearly thought that he was so good that he could take breaks from coaching. I'd return my season ticket if it was him. Mackay is getting stick here but his strength is as a coach and he would only be one voice in the choice of players for purchase. He is not as a bad a choice as some people think. Eddie Howe gets his teams playing the right was and is not an automatic No No for me. Not sure if he would want it though.

Last call or recycling it is

No we shouldn't - he is worth more to us as a player. Besides his price is only going to rise.

Yes - an 18 year old lad who is highly rated by his coaches and manager is condemned by the know-alls of a Football Forum as "not up to it" because he has not scored a shed load of goals on his first two starts.

I am on a major space space creating exercise at the moment. I have a large number (50-ish I think - I have not counted them) pre-St Marys programmes which I am happy to give to the first person to pm me. I don't want any money for them although a donation of whatever you feel to MacMillan Cancer Trust or Naomi House would be welcome. I'd sooner that they went to a fellow Saints Fan than to the recycling which is where they could be destined.

... and every other Saturday. It is down to JWP to try to unseat him. As to your final comment - whoever comes would have be exceptional to keep him out of the team. If we added a cutting edge i.e. goals we would be capable of moving upwards with the midfield that we have.

It could mean "If Poch stays so do I" - who knows? You seem to be desperately reading between lines to no useful purpose. The fundamental message coming out of the club across the board is "We are focussed on our next match - the time to discuss these things is at the end of the season" Lallana is no more than on message with the club stance.

AL's form this year irrespective of international selection was bound to attract attention and hence more speculation. Doesn't make it true though.

This

Well its either definite or a possibility. It cannot be both. Which is it?

The only performance a Newspaper is interested in is number of copies sold.

I think that you are confused about the difference between him saying that he wants to win the league and him saying that he expects to win the league.

Yeah! Whatever.

TBH - based on yesterday only - I'm not

We do - he's called Steven Davis

They will read between the lines and find something.

I would if we had use of him for another year and then sold him for £40m.with the alleged competition for him we would be mugs to sell for less.

Lord above - how many times do we see people post stuff like this on here ("I'd bite their hand off!...") only to see the player in question go for a lot more. Like I've said many times before, its a good job no-one on here is responsible for the negotiations.

It is less hypothetical than totally random!

or iv) discussions are on-going or v) both parties agreed to delay them until the end of the season. We can speculate all we want but the real truth is that no-one knows the real truth.

Urban myth - Redcrapp nearly sold him and only played him initially because he had little choice because of injuries. Quick to take the credit when he came good though!

This. There is a lot of 2+2 = 5 on this thread.

Eh!?
