    Good point, well made LTL. However, maybe it's part of that "whatever-happens-at-Man Utd- also-needs-to-happen-with-the-Dug and Duck pub team" argument that hindered the technology debate for so long. There is a tiny flaw in that argument for me - it's bollocks, to quote Black Adder.

    "Windows" might work for the Premier League, but I'm not convinced for smaller clubs.

    Closing soon. Last few days.

    The next transfer thread will have 20 pages of just Man City Signings.

    Merson has graded all the Premier League teams transfer windows and gave us a B. We kept all the players the tabloids sold off for us and got the one player which we said we needed at a ridiculous price. What more were we expected to do? Got to be worth an A+. :)

    Merson would never ever give Saints any credit without being grudging about it. His pathetic professional mask is wafer thin.

    99.9% of the time I'm glad I don't have a Twitter account. But just for that 0.1% of the time I'd like to be able to go around to all the pundits and ITK's who predicted departures and arrivals at various clubs, and especially Saints, and say... WRONG ! :)

    You'd think they'd act a little more cautiously from now on. Wouldn't bank on it though.

    There was the one last year where a manager and his captain that followed him club to club bullied players to change agents to their preferred option wasn't there? And that a player who was hailed as awesome in the first few games of the season suddenly went to 'lesser' club after refusing.

    With such vague hints from that article and the latest one I don't think anyone could work out who these guys are let alone investigate such terrible defamatory rumours. Nothing for the PL or the FA to investigate anyway.

    He's been a massive flop, far worse then Osvaldo was for us. They just managed to get a crazy Chinese billionaire to buy him (if it goes through).

    Ah okay, I hadn't realised. Not caught all that much La Liga this season. There were high hopes for him.

    That Atletico were happy having that picture taken does say everything about the transfer, heh.

    The Chinese have been seriously splashing the cash this window. Especially on players from South America.

    I think we missed a trick by not chucking a few brochures about Shanghai in Gastons locker
