saint lard Posted 13 August, 2013 Share Posted 13 August, 2013 Lamela was always our first choice him and Banega. not saying Osvaldo wasn't an option,just...a little down the pecking order. as Meatloaf would say..'two out of three ain't bad'...for you older people out there. hold your breath,and your nerve,I think little old saints are attempting something bloody good in the transfer market.

If you post anything that doesn't toe the party line on here and isn't what people want to hear then its dismissed as being anti Saints/Cortese and trolling, That one wasn't rocket science, especially after his TV Interview after the promotion party on the pitch. The issue then was that it seemed to be "incredible" or "unbelievable". Now, one season on, many have now come to accept that things that seem incredible (links with players bound for the WC) may have some truth in them. These threads are for snippets of info or links. History then shows whether those that make them (like Saint Lard above) are t0ssers or have good sources. What hacks everyone off are the "experts in their own minds" who believe their own source is so impeccable that they come back on here and rubbish any other snippet and ruin the threads.

If you post anything that doesn't toe the party line on here and isn't what people want to hear then its dismissed as being anti Saints/Cortese and trolling, TBH your attitude frequently gets my back up. It's not what you say but how you say it, you're obviously a knowledgeable chap. I think that is what causes some people to rail against you. I'm not sure where this party line ******** comes from either. There are plenty on this site who sit on both sides of the fence in any argument. The issue is that those of us without an agenda, or a source of inside information, are willing to give those running the club a little leeway, due to the fact that first and foremost they saved us from oblivion and have then pulled off their promise of success and Premier League football within five years. As a result we're willing to judge after events have take place, not based on rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
