Unbelievable Jeff

No, Spurs turned him down. Link was only there to get Pochettino to pay ourt his contract.

It's difficult to get forward when you have Olic in front of you offering no protection and Oscar wide on the right.

That karma kicked in early didn't it?

He looked pretty poor tonight actually. Now Oscar, that is a player.

Sime Vrsaljko was excellent and is excellent at left or right back. At Genoa I believe and only 22.

Italy: Como Garda Milan (if at the time of the Grand Prix at Monza, spectacular) Capri Sorrento Sicily Germany Trier is nice Berlin is awesome, very interesting Hamburg is a good laugh

No, the point is if they show that type of commitment, they are a disgrace.

Also an (ex) running back for the Green Bay Packers...

Would take him in a second.

Just quoting odds...

I don't actually believe so - although money is important, what is the big difference between being paid £50k a week and being paid £70k a week. Although it is big, it must be about achievement to a large degree. For instance, if we offered Lallana £80k pw to stay, and Liverpool only offered him £65k pw, I believe he would still leave.

Don't disagree with this, sadly. Although we did have unrivalled success (as Saints) under his tenure, it does seem that it was built without foundations and under the naive understanding that "we are Southampton, we do what we want" when really it is "we are Southampton, we are still in the pecking order of clubs and if players want to leave for bigger teams, they likely will do so".

Hope so, put £100 on it last night at 2/1.

I thought Galatasaray had pretty much chosen a new manager, Lucescu?

Are you going to follow me around doing this again? You can change the username, you can't change the posting habits. 202 of 236...

That's not hysterical by any means. It's my interpretation of a few of our players obviously lacking and commitment to our club.

I hate the Daily Mail, but I also know that the article is written as fact. If this is the case I would be surprised asllif it wasn't true as they could be done for libel for this one.

Request was made 2 weeks ago apparently.

Well it sounds like he has definitely handed in a transfer request, various journos are now saying it. If you read (and believe) Adam Blackmore, Lallana will also be handing in a transfer request. I will wait and see what happens, I have been all summer in regards to the board and a new manager, I just think this seems like it's true (to those saying he wouldn't do it during the World Cup, this was done 2 weeks ago). It just shows an appaling example in front of younger players and kids.

I know this is something is something I shouldn't be surprised about, but **** me, our players are ungrateful bastards aren't they? I cannot understand why they have such little commitment to SFC, yet such undivided loyalty to a manager who was happy to up sticks and leave them at the first opportunity. If you don't want to be here, then fine, you can leave, but one of these days karma will kick them straight in the balls. Last time Lovren played for a big club, he flopped. Lallana will find playing time hard to come by. Poch will be sacked by this time next year. I am 100% behind the board and the club, and we don't need prima donna's with ideas above their station here. Good ****ing riddance.

What, like with Lallana, that a lot of Saints fans are incredibly angry with. Better do it now befoe the fans get 'too' attached.

Wow, you really can't see the word for the trees with Blackmore can you? I used to like him until this Summer. Since then he's become a bit of a pr!ck, trying to wind up Saints fans into a frenzy (as you have obviously bought into) with some news that is true, some news that is false, and some news that is irrelevant.

I'm saving up all the best bedwetting quotes from earlier in the Summer ready for when the window slams shut. Will be a fun day.

You'd be hoping it'd be worth far more than that through intangible benefits.

I thought everything was agreed in Jan, incĺuding fee? You're trying to be ITK, but you're just not. Give it up.
