    What, like Mane, Schneiderlin, Wanyama or Clyne?

    That attitude is the reason "player power" exists.

    We don't have any proof that Virgil intends to play hardball, do we? Morgan only posted one tweet and looked sulky for half a game. I shall reserve judgement on VVD.....for now.

    He wanted out prior to leaving, hence why he ran his contract down to just 1 year

    If we are going to sell(anywhere but Liverpool please)big money from Chelsea will give some extra funds for the transfer market.

    ****'s sake you lot. Can we just skip to August, please? Here's what's gonna happen...

    Van Dijk will sign for Liverpool. He'll be **** for them. We'll continue to embarrass them. Then they sign our next best player, and so on it goes...

    Aldridge is one of those people who offends me simply by sharing the same planet. Obnoxious prat.

    What they don't get is it is a question of degree. Asking a player's agent if he is interested before making a formal application is generally regarded as usual and acceptable. Liverpool have sailed close to the wind before with us....Saints finally got fed up with being treated with contempt.

    Just because everyone takes shower gel from a hotel, doesn't mean you can nick the TV.

    So "everyone does it" (tapping up, that is). On what evidence is this based? If true we need a review of transfer protocols. If not true, and in particular if Nicol's claim that Southampton have a cheek as they know they do it, then it's time for a lawyer to start earning her/his corn.

    Still credit where credit is due. You can never take away from him that he was the first player to miss a penalty in an FA Cup Final at Wembley. Perhaps someone on twitter could remind him.

    I know swap deals almost never happen, but I would be more then OK with £40 million + Christensen for VVD...

    If (& a big if) VVD is causing any serious issues behind the scenes then I hope we sell him to Chelski for £60 m+ and get these funds into the transfer war chest urgently
    It's time to move on from this saga on concentrate on positivity of the new era and we can't do that with this milestone round our necks but don't sell to Scousehampton!
