Nah, Lallana comes across really well. Cool dude. Should have played more at the World Cup IMO. Got a great temperament.

 

Liverpool having all the fun in the window. Sickening.

 

Anyway ... it's looking as though Emenike will join Chelsea, so yet another top Nigerian player for Mourinho to castrate. Great.

I still don't think he's that good like. Obviously he's got a lot of potential though.

Actually, £3m fee agreed. Why aren't we there?!

 

Monitoring machines are all occupied at the minute.

 

It's an Ashley dream buy, though. He'll almost certainly not make a loss on him. McCarthy ended up moving on for £13m and it's widely agreed here that Gauld is a bigger talent. Hope they don't loan him back - he gets kicked to pieces here and would be great if he could pick up a more European style as it'd suit him way better.

 

An Ashley dream buy is no fee, no signing on fee, no agent fee and no wages to be paid that magically returns 15m+ into the his pockets.

Pocchetino, Lambert, Lallana and Shaw all gone. Fucking hell. Serves Southampton right for having the audacity to be good but not be one of the top four.

 

Football. :anguish:

They weren't even that good, barely finished ahead of us

idk it's kind of a good model for sustainable growth imo. You create and academy that will produce players that can be sold for very high sums of money, whilst at the same time advancing your team up the league. You sell said players and employ a manager with a good reputation and one that can attract better players with the money available. You basically keep progressing up to the point you no longer have to sell the players as you are sufficiently high enough in the league to keep them.

 

did they have to sell them now?  the players wanted to leave at the first sign of a big club, hardly like southampton have been pardewing them in the press at every opportunity, sure if the players were happy they'd have kept them?

 

as yorkie said, football :anguish:

It's the way football is these days; elitist, where a minuscule percentage of football clubs on the planet cherry-pick the best players from the rest. It's probably always been that way to some extent, but to this extent? Where one team has a good season and, as a result, the crux of their squad (and manager!) completely disintegrates? Shit, man.
