Just back from Portugal (hence typing and not at the game today), where I met matt derbyshire's agent. He told me they spoke to Saints and he fancied coming, but he made it sound like we didn't quite want him. As I said, just for info.
I know his agent through a friend. He is an ex-pro, and I recognised him in departure lounge at airport. We got chatting about Saints and he told me they had talks with Southampton. It is true; why on earth would i make something up about someone who is now elsewhere? I just thought Saints fans may want to know that we did have talks.
fab thanks. Great Villa; kids had great time. Didn't stay up late enough to go to any of your clubs though.... they were shut at 7:30pm when I tried to get in!!
always thought it was funny when blackburn got rid of him then like a year later they were moaning saying they didnt have any strikers.
I'll ask about that. I didn't even though the guy I knew was his agent. i knew he was an agent, but disn't know what players. I reckon it was when Big Sam was there and I don't think he is his type of player. I like him; good touch, good movement. I'm not disappointed he's not come, but wouldn't have complained if he had.
