  1. TBH, they'll make a fair wad out of shirt sales globally and increase their attractiveness generally.
  2. GG

    Squad sizes

    Doesn't that summarise practically every thread on here at the moment?
  3. Do you feel that Boothroyd might be losing it a bit? I thought he was one of the best young managers a few years back but he seems to have lost it now, I saw some comments from him recently saying that he didnt think he needed an assistant manager, which to me is a mistake. Also a lot of Watford's best players have been sold and Boothroyd's buys havent been the best. Not really, he's still learning. He does need an assistant, but I'd say our board is shite as well. His last transfers were decent, Bromby and Eustace. He's good at working on a shoestring budget, but is shit with money (Ellington, McAnuff, Kabba!) whereas 'cheap' buys where he's had a lot less money to work with (King, Hendo, Spring, Carlisle, Foster, Bromby Eustace) have been good. We've got not much money at the moment, so I'm interested to see what we'll do. I'd love to have Burkinshaw back as assistant, he needs an older head beside him to aid his development, Graham Taylor would be more than welcome back at the club, hopefully Aidy isn't too stubborn.
  4. We paid £1.6M for him. I was expecting £3/4M tbh, but who cares? I'm not excited about next season in terms of success etc., I'll have fun at games but there's no anticipation from me this time around after the abysmal capitulation of our side last year.
  5. Shittu rejects Rangers. Not sure what to make of this, all depends on his intentions from now on.

  7. We're going to make a loss on him by all accounts, as QPR take 10%, I bloody hope we get some Scottish talent that's been wasted at Rangers in exchange.
  8. Eagles will be joining Watford as far as I know. When I went looking for a job in the club store earlier, the fella reckoned we'd made a bid. He's a local lad. Not even that great. Not good enough for you. Guthrie will be reliable and decent for you with potential to improve.
  9. Am I a bit slow in working out ShiteaM and therefore him being a Spurs/other rival troll?
  10. Rudi Skacel was all set to move from Southampton to Ipswich, but the deal looks unlikely with him having failed to agree personal terms. Not that anyone here cares.
  11. 90% of people under 20 do, I'd guess. Really? Dear me. One of the reasons I don't have facebook and rarely talk to most of my schoolfriends online (MSN etc) nor do I text them. "wot u up 2 init?" Sometimes you're lucky to even get a question mark. If you can understand it then why remove points of contact? I'd not speaking to some of my friends just because they use a few less characters when speaking to me electronically. To each their own I guess. I get unbelievably frustrated by it and often it affects my opinion of them if they constantly type like a mong, when they could easily type properly. Also - I'd rather phone them if I want to talk as opposed to read almost unintelligible gibberish via the computer.
  12. 90% of people under 20 do, I'd guess. Maybe the ones you hang out with do. ElDiablo reckons I go to a 'posh school' and even there it's like that!

  14. Is he spelt incorrectly? (it'd be sikting tbh)
  15. 24/25 He has two ages? Christ! Well your "as thick as a brick" but just about everyone else can work out the / means or. You're* You're what? Your mum, your dad, superman, candyman, god? Calling someone 'thick as a brick' yet not knowing when to use 'your' and when to use 'you're'. Go sit in the naughty corner over their.

  17. There was talk a while ago that Forecast and Joe Martin were Southampton targets but not seen or heard anything since. IIRC, they were being touted for season long loans but Joe Martin (Alvin's boy) was sold last week to Blackpool. TF from what I've seen of him has decent potential but not great, maybe Championship standard. I think David Button, the England u19 keeper has far more potential than Forecast, but that's not saying he'd necessarily make Premiership quality either. I'm hearing that Forecast will be signing for Southampton this week. Confirmed. :clap: Wish him well for the future. From what I've been told this morning, he'll probably be first-choice 'keeper if they don't bag Richard Wright. Which is a likely situation. Do you know if it's true that Spurs have paid £500k to Southampton now plus a further £500k at the end of the season to wipe out the £5m instalments payable for Gareth Bale? That's what I've been told, sounds too good to be true. I know that Forecast was some of the bargain to wipe out some of the £5M, yes. I'm not exactly sure how much was going to be paid, but I know that the deal was £3M in appearances and an extra £2M based on CL qualification. So that £1M + Forecast + possibly first option on loanees or other youth players to go is probably about right. They did a similar deal with Arsenal for the Walcott money. Great deal for Spurs then, stumping up £6m plus Tommy instead of £8m and possibly £10m. I 've got some sympathy for the Southampton fans though. I think I'm right in saying that the club were bled dry by the previous chairman and as a result the crown jewels from the Youth Cup side of not so long ago have all gone for not a lot. Shame. If I'm doing the previous chairman a disservice, apologies. The old chairman who's back again as the new chairman.
