    Shaquri i think will go back to a europe, although he is type of player i could see Everton buying

    Southampton if they go down - several of their players i'd have. I think Tadic is one of the few things me and Pboro have agreed on We both said we'd like him here - i think it was Tadic anyway

    If saints go down, it'll hurt them alot because i can see a lot of their starting squad running.
    Tadic yes, although he'll be 30 in a few months time he's really fit and in good condition and got a few more years in him.

    Southampton always, whatever division they are in have several good youngsters who are worth a punt.

    Not quite the signings we had hoped for from the relegated teams eh? Couldn't even get the best of the relegated teams players could we? Expectations successfilly managed.

    But feck it. Nothing we can do now but get behind the ones we do have.

    Doesnt mean penfold and fat dangermouse should get an easy ride though.

    Not quite - we offered a cheeky bid of £2 million and it was shot down.

    Makes me wonder if the club uses some kind of fkd up excel spreadsheet/database/algorithm/blackbox where they put signing fees, wages, age, stats etc. into to decide if a player is worth signing or not without considering managers opinion, judgement and other unquantifiable factors. Computer says no kind of thing.

    Would explain a few things.

    Or its maybe just a fat fker saying no.

    Sorry, pssed tonight.

    It actually wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if there was a degree of truth in what you say.
