whelk Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Ok, was driving around Central and North London yesterday and can see the obvious attraction of living in/around London over Southampton Doesn't that get started as a regular thread topic every other month on here? Go for it
positivepete Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Luis Enrique has just left Celta mid contract saying he does not know where he will be coaching next season. He would do nicely should MP leave.
whelk Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 (edited) A good starting point is to not believe anything from the Daily Express (or the Daily Star for that matter). Spectacularly weak journalism, the only national titles where 9 times out of 10 they literally are making it up. Indeed and from the Express I get really confused on where I stand on statins, what cures arthritis, diabetes, dementia (I think it's broccoli and sudokus), lose track of how many heat waves and big freezes we have that don't turn up . And my house was going up in value even when every statistic seemed to contradict this. http://www.themediablog.co.uk/the-media-blog/2013/03/express-bingo-headlines.html Sorry bit off topic £6m is mental but everything is now so much money around and is a key member of staff and could justify pays for himself but obscene nonetheless.

Batman Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Luis Enrique has just left Celta mid contract saying he does not know where he will be coaching next season. He would do nicely should MP leave. Going to Barcelona apparently
pangy Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 So is he staying or what ? Some suggest he has agreed personal terms with Spurs,some say we are going to pay him £6m a year and give him £50m transfer kitty,the latter sounds good to me and would send out the biggest statement of intent I have witnessed as a Saints fan,KL is in it for the long run and we are going to have a serious go at pushing on. No doubt both are a load of tosh and we will still know nowt in a weeks time

musesaint Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Keeping MP is key. £6m fine with me if that's what it takes
Convict Colony Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 I am sure the position improvement since last year has probably covered the first year of this supposed offer.
Chez Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Once he's secured the war chest we should send an offer of £17 million for Sturridge, saying we'd like the deal to be wrapped up before the World Cup. I like this idea. A huge bid from the club for a player might grab our own players eyes.
beatlesaint Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 I was confident he would stay.....but I was confident we would hear something from the club this week. The longer it goes on the less confident I am.
Georgie Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Someone on twitter (yes I know) saying Sky Italy have reported MP discussing personal terms with Spurs. Have Sky Italy reported this and are they reliable? Or no better than any other media outlet?
Foxy Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Someone on twitter (yes I know) saying Sky Italy have reported MP discussing personal terms with Spurs. Have Sky Italy reported this and are they reliable? Or no better than any other media outlet? Option B

Have Sky Italy reported this and are they reliable? Or no better than any other media outlet? They're just quoting what's been in the UK media already but mixing the words up a bit to make it sound like a new story... Or that might just be Google translate!
Saint Charlie Posted 17 May, 2014 Author Posted 17 May, 2014 Full @Daily_Express article: EXCLUSIVE- "Break The Bank!" http://t.co/WQNAIfNXAg That's absolute rubbish.
Saint Charlie Posted 17 May, 2014 Author Posted 17 May, 2014 Di Marzio from Sky Italy is one of the most reliable Journalists in Europe. If he says that it is close then it probably is. Plus, the silence on both sides indicates that something is definitely happening. Will be a huge blow to MP and leaves the new Board with important decisions to be made. Bad ones could see a relegation battle next season.
doddisalegend Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 If the 57 million transfer budget is true we might actually have more to spend this summer than Liverpool ....which is a bit crazy
Dr Who? Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 I really think with that kind of carrot dangled, he will stay!
Saint Charlie Posted 17 May, 2014 Author Posted 17 May, 2014 If the 57 million transfer budget is true we might actually have more to spend this summer than Liverpool ....which is a bit crazy It totally contradicts all the boardroom statements including Krueger's last Sunday that we need a sustainable model. We talk about this report because it appears good news but every other report and Journalist says MP will be going to Spurs. Lets just hope we replace one class Manager with another and not some pillock like Mackay or Steve Clarke. Hopefully another foreign Manager who actually has a playing style.

Agree the report is s**t - the Express is like the Mail on a shoestring budget. But is £57m -or more accurately 30m net- really unsustainable?
Miltonaggro Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 I like this idea. A huge bid from the club for a player might grab our own players eyes. The board should do it, tit for tat, every time a derisory bid for one of our stars comes in. Give the press a bit of a spin...
hypochondriac Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 I doubt we have more to spend than champions league Liverpool Jesus Christ Quite possible to be fair if we sold Shaw for 30 million.
Batman Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Quite possible to be fair if we sold Shaw for 30 million. I will eat my own feet of we spend more than Liverpool this summer Not that I would mind but with all the talk of self sustaining and "financial difficulties"

Do marzio said spurs wanted him not it was close . Charlie you seem to be very negative about everything at mo.
saintoaks Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 http://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/sky-sports-confirm-pochettino-contract.html Don't know if this is old or new news..
Saint Charlie Posted 17 May, 2014 Author Posted 17 May, 2014 Do marzio said spurs wanted him not it was close . Charlie you seem to be very negative about everything at mo. Is that any suprise? Best Manager we have had in years and its been obvious to all except Saints what was going to happen since about February... Should be enjoying our best ever season, but may well start next season with none of Shaw, Lallana, Scneiderlin and Jay Rod in the team.
Heisenberg Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 Its much like poker. We need Tottenham to show their hand now.

Makes interesting reading, and if the view of the Tottenham fans is that Pochettino is just 'Andre Villas-Boas without the trophies' he may well be on a hiding to nothing there - and if he does defect to north London I hope (and expect) that to be the case...

Citing win ratios like Glasgow in his pomp - they really are a bunch of two-bit f**kwits.

No way j rod will go, seriously doubt someone will pay that much for someone with a cruciate ligament injury.when it all happens we can panic then but might not be true.

Graffito Posted 17 May, 2014 Posted 17 May, 2014 I genuinely cannot believe there are a number of arsenal fans who want them to lose today as they think Wenger will be sacked if they do. Most I speak with up here in North London do indeed want him out.

We were always going to be a stepping stone for him & you can't really blame the man for that I guess
