I thought we transferred the meltdown rights to the Rangers fans as part of the deal when they signed McWuss as part of the severance package for the termination of his gardening leave payments. Think SR are using the transfer fee to help fund the Hampshire Disneyland they are building around SMS š
And is voting in favour of your comment enough to count me out? Probably not. So, the next time he visits his golf course in Scotland and stays over, if they got the biggest idiot from every village in the UK and sent them all to the village he was staying in heād still be the village idiot.
Oh well, they've got three consecutive home games to look forward to Celtic, Hearts & Hibs Their current SPL positions? That would be 1st, 2nd & 3rd... Poor McWuss
Yes, I did see Rudoniās goals from Saturday. In fairness I made my call prior to Rudoni publicly pledging his future allegiance to Cov City so I have to agree he wonāt be coming and even if he wanted to I very much doubt Cov City would now want to let him go, even for Ā£20m+
As for what happens to us now in the last week of the window, God only knows with this cluster f@@k of muppets running our club and turning it into the Disneyland of Hampshire whilst we try and win promotion back to the PL without a decent keeper and no goal scoring forwards! Still, I suppose if you have Mickey Mouse owners you end up with Disneylandā¦
Football League World are reporting that Armel Bella Kotchap is off to Nantes for a reported fee of Ā£7.8m - but thereās a catchā¦ It is a loan with an option to buy, and thereās the problem, if his attitude there is anything like it has been here then they wonāt want to take up the option to buy after putting up with 12 months of him sulking. But letās be positive, it gets him off our wage bill and perhaps, just perhaps, he will like it there and put in a proper shift for a change š
Apparently earlier in the window he said he was not interest in a move to Saints, there was another club in the mix who he said he preferred, Glasgow Rangersā¦. Donāt know if that is still the case as he is still at Palace. Maybe he would now reconsiderā¦ See link below, scroll up to the top of the article.
According to one report I read earlier Palace are supposedly lining up a double swoop as they allegodly want Fernandes as well (who doesnāt?!). If Palace stump up Ā£100m I will do a tap dance with the Popeā¦
In terms of swaps Iād take Odsonne Edouard off their hands, decent forward and would do well in this division. Played less than 100 games for Palace and scored 18 goals but was prolific at Celtic scoring 66 in 116 appearances. Would suit this division and at last weād have a forward capable of finding the net. They can throw in a winger or two as well if they want to š
Agreed DorsetIan. What I donāt understand with this nonsense of players being offside by a toenail or half a kneecap is the laws still state a player being level with the opponent is onside. If 99.9 % of the player is still level and 0.1% isnāt then any sane minded person with even an atom of common sense would say the player is still level with the opponent and therefore onside. It takes a special breed of pedant to call that as offside, sadly for the rest of us the upper echelons of refereeing is infested with said creatures. A breed apart within football? Never a truer word spokenā¦ One thing that I am led to believe is being worked on is AI assisted offside decisions. The ultimate aim is to have this part of VAR fully automated and as fast and reliable as the goal decision system that tells us if the whole of the ball is over the whole of the line. If this happens then whilst I still say the above point is still valid about level being onside where it is just a kneecap or toenail involved if we have to continue to tolerate this nonsense then at least it wonāt take three and a half minutes whilst some Gimbert sits there drawing lines and toggling the freeze frame back and forth to try and justify such ridiculous offside decisions.
Similar situation with Dejan Lovren who was similarly carried by Fonte, only when Lovern went to Liverpool did he really get found out. Think the opportunity to get Ā£20m for THB is fading fast, if not already goneā¦
Very true 901, I remember when Neil Maddison first broke into the Saints first team we were told that as a youngster he was rated more highly than Alan Shearer in terms of his future potential as a player. NM wasnāt a bad player and put in some decent performances over his 9/10 seasons at The Dell but with every due respect was no Alan Shearer,. As you rightly say, having potential does not always guarantee star billing further down the line.
Do you remember an away game at Arsenal near the end of the season on a midweek evening when the Saints fan sang āStand up if you hate Hoddleā and the whole of Highburyā stood up and joined in š
Get the three loan players in Frannies Tache mentioned on here, especiallly the one they are really excited about.
Sell Dibling, if anyone stilll wants himā¦ Everton now have Grealish, Spurs now linked heavily with Eze so that only leaves Newcastle who do a passable impersonation of Trabzonspor when bidding for our players
Buy the Stoke keeper
Buy Rudoni from Coventry
Get Dirk Dooneās hot pick El Kabbi (apologies if spelt wrong DD) in as well so we can have an affordable forward who can find the back of the net.
Release Ross Stewart back into the wild
Apart from that Spors, the rest of the week will be your ownā¦
Agreed, I have no particular love for SR or many of their aims and objectives but in this instance I think you have to say credit where it is due to them for holding out for every last Ā£ they can get for Dibling. Their stance on selling players who are in demand is spot on. We went through exactly the same with Lavia & Liverpool two summers ago. I suspect something similar will happen with Dibling, this could rumble on for another couple of weeks then someone else will come in, as Chelsea did with Lavia, and a decent deal will be done.
When Shearer signed his first professional contract at Southampton he brought himself a Ford Escort, nowadays itās not unusual to see players in cars with six figure price tags.
I know this is at the other end of the spectrum as we are primarily talking about Dibling, but I saw an article recently about Ronaldoās car collection, unbelievable! He has a Bugatti Chiron that costs Ā£2.5m - Ā£3m new depending on the spec, a Bugatti Centodieci, one of only ten ever made, valued at $12m and even a Rolls Royce SUV which I never even knew existed! Itās called a Cullinan, which I thought was that huge uncut diamond, so there you go, you learn something new every day š
Slack Jack, Smallbone, Manning & Aribo (Ā£70k p/w off the wage bill alone) are definately the answer, I can hire the minibus and drive them up there, Iāll even get a nice one with tables and a loo on board. š
