This person could have been from the Maldives, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan or Tajikistan and the time of posting would have been 00:11 meaning tomorrow would be Friday.

Dont be surprised to see the wanyama deal still happen. I understand that mist of you may call me crazy however, a short while ago everyone was saying he was in holiday in Kenya and what his agents say he wants may not be what he wants.

TBH we have done a good job of painting his agent now. I would love to see what happens behind closed doors when he discovers that a 21 year old from the SPL really can't expect too much, one good game against Barca don't mean you're better than Barca & all that.
Don't think he's coming here though unless the agent gets dumped, esp as by then I expect we would have filled that gap in the rosta.

Have to say the more I read about the wanyama saga the more I feel sorry for the guy. he's only young and is trusting his agent with his career and they are making a right balls up of it I reckon. they've upset saints, celtic and probably wanyama himself because they are making him look jumped up and greedy amnd I bet they will upset vsrdiff too. Vw should sack them

Let's be honest - money money money has really spoiled the essence of the game of soccer!
Agree0

People calling football soccer has spoiled the game {Ed001's Note - it is an English term derived way back when to differentiate between Association Football and Rugby Football. Seems we have developed a snobbery about using it here though!}
Agree0

Who honestly cares as long as we understand what they are talking about?

Everybody stopped arguing with the ed052 today? Good, pointless row, and most of the time he backs us up. would much prefer liverpool to win the league than the usual lot united etc. as for saints, can we give the wanyama thing a rest, it's boring now. I'm glad we are not slaves to agents they don't deserve the fee. Saints being so quite at mo makes you wonder who is coming in. Any new rumours? Saints fan

Well, according to the Liverpool site yesterday they were interested in Rickie, today it is Luke!
And they have the cheek to tell us not to be arrogant and deluded, and how we seem to be linked with every player around. Pot and kettle come to mind.

I would be happy with just 3-4 more signing tops. I think we will sign
1. Nainggolan
2. Gamez
3. Hooper
and one other. (some one with rapid pace hopefully)
People slagging off hooper saying he's not good enough need to wait and see, he will score goals. People who write him off before he is given the chance are ignorant and a 25yr old English striker who scores loads of goals being sold for around 5 mill in this day and age is a bargin.

Would like a bit of pace/creation going forward.
Would take those three plus a Bueno/Ince type player.
Agree0
Disagree0
Gamez, yes I can see that. Hooper, no, not good enough. Nainggolan will go to a 'bigger' club
Agree0
Disagree0
Sinclair would do me. Also would love to see Lukaku in. He might be available now that Chelski have signed a new young striker.
Agree0
Disagree0
Hooper is thriving at Celtic. He shouldn't leave them to join us because I think he'd fall below Rodriguez in the pecking order.
Agree0
Disagree0
Wat we have now is better then bueno and ince lallana puncheon gaston all better if we add a winger its need to be some real quality not saying ince and bueno aren't descent they are but work in progress 1s for the future we have that allready
Agree0
Disagree0
So Hooper is good enough to score in the champions league but wouldn't score in the prem.
I hope we sign a winger + LB on top of that, no one too big just cover for Shaw and another winger to rotate in and out
Agree0
Disagree0
I thought Hoopoes were quite rare but apparently they have been spotted in Lyme Regis. I wonder what payment an agent would require for taking a client for the day out to sunny Dorset.

All this talk of CL football is going to some people's head let's get real if we don, t significantly strengthen the squad a mid table finish is about as realistic as its going to get. Having said that I have faith that NC will do the business and land some new players but it will be done his way and not plastered across the papers eg recent saga suggest negotiations with Celtic took place over two weeks ago! Long before the daily rags got wind of it.

I see hardly anyone saying we are getting/aiming for CL. There will always be a couple of over enthusiastic deluded fans for every team.
Agree0

I don't know anyone over the age of 14 talking about CL other than a remark by MP himself and what was he going to say " we are completely unambitious and don't want to aim for the stars for fear of falling short "

Not so much a transfer rumour, but a kit rumour. I'm sure a lot of people have seen the leaked image of the new shirt by now with the gold badge and Adidas logo. Well, I heard from someone at the club that the switch to the gold badge was to coincide with a big money long term-shirt deal that Cortese and Co had arranged with Lotus.
However, a few weeks ago the senior official Cortese sent to conclude the deal made a total hash of things and Lotus pulled out (said official and a few others got sacked for this). This means that there may well be no sponsor's logo on the shirt this season as aap3 had agreed to change the terms of their deal with the club for the remainder of their contract to make way for Lotus.

Hope we don't get Bueno, especially at the kind of money being talked about. Following South American club football I can tell you some things about him
positives:
Quick
Negatives:
Selfish with the ball
Never looks up before playing the ball
Very poor crossing & passing
Lightweight
The lad's agent has played a blinder if he blags a move to a club like Roma, nowhere near good enough.

Glad wanyama not coming to
saints
cardiff or any other club welcome
to him and his agents

Roma are getting him to replace Lamela who is going to us for £25 million. you heard it here first lol (joking by the way)
