Just a bit of fun to keep us busy for a few hours maybe?

What do you mean?

I think he wants people to use the computer game Football Manager 2011 to look for good players that Saints could sign in real life.

 

Everton already do...

And a number of other real life managers and clubs have admitted to using it as an initial scouting tool.

 

For example...

 

In what may be the most interesting aspect of this story, and confirmation of this author’s tacit assumption regarding the impetus of many transfer rumors, Dinamo’s sports director Konstantin Sarsania admitted that it was his son’s love of Football Manager™ that first brought Lewandowski to his attention.

 

Sarsania was candid with the media today, claiming that his son had spoken to him of the Polish international having been one of the highest rated forwards in Europe in his computer game over the last two years. Upon closer, less virtual, inspection, Sarsania the elder was pleasantly surprised to find out that the real-life version of the striker was just as talented, thus initiating the transfer inquiries.
