    Ah. Yes. Sadly our news is constantly 12hrs late which evens out any advantage.

    I would seriously not want to be negotiating for players at the moment.

    Thats my final offer!!
    Ok, So you're sure you want to got through the rest of the season relying on your centrebacks for goals? Actually didnt one of them just jump ship?
    *Sigh* How much do you want?

    Or:

    "are you sure you won't budge on 20m?"

    "No we won't budge"

    "Ok, thanks for your time, I'll take my cash elsewhere and we'll sign the other option" *stands to leave*

    "No wait Mr Reed! Don't be so hasty, maybe we can move a little"


    . Never forget, there is always a flip side. Always.

    Especially when it so clear Napoli want to sell. If they had no real desire to cash in on the player then the power would all be with them. This will be a case of meeting in the middle when time forces the issue.

    *Walks into next room*

    So, you're desperate for goals Mr Reed! Shall we start the bidding at, say, 50% more than your last offer?

    Football markets are weird, but Les seems to play the game fairly well.

    We could go on all day, or we could just say that yes, there is a possible flip side.

    Why always default to the worst case scenario.?

    There aren't too many examples of where we paid over the odds. There have been some that haven't worked out, but not necessarily out on market value.

    Beddy what's happening to you. What the hell is the point of dragging up a short managerial stint from 1889 to bash Les. He ain't perfect and can be a miserable, stubborn sod sometimes, but he's our miserable, stubborn sod. He's done a massive amount for this club and putting us where we are now.

    The only issue I have is the rumblings about his son being an agent and Les pushing things that way. Outside of that, you draw two lists and write down the pros and cons of Les at Saints.

    Time to stop bitching. Life ain't perfect.

    Come on Fats you know me better than that........my info is not always correct granted..........and I can be as wrong as the next man. However there is only one person that knows how I feel........ and thats me!! I can't always see things through rose coloured glasses, I say it as I see it. That will not stop me praising or expressing my disappointment even when people call it "bitching" Just expressing my view....

    If we can get this signing over the line the best thing for the team will be having an option. He may not play the season scoring bucketloads himself, but if it provides competition and a bit of rejuvenation for Long and J Rod, knowing they won't be automatic starters, then it's all for the better. Let's hope we can find an agreement.

    The best thing for me about Les is that when I take off my rose tinted glasses and begin to doubt him, he always eventually surprises me in a good way.

    I am prone to the odd rant (see my moan a couple of weeks ago from food deprivation and Dry January!), but over the last few years Les has always (eventually) come up trumps. Fingers crossed here too.

    I don't think that you are bitching Beddy, but there is no doubt that you have become a little more "Eeyore" w.r.t. the club of late. Or at the very least less patient. I don't really see much change in the boards attitude, other than getting back to the Academy model which Koeman dumped.
