    May not be the way to look at it, but 4 of Ings' 12 league goals came in defeats, so technically would we only need to find someone who can score 8? <laugh>

    £10m plus Lamina. If we had just bid £10m it would have been accepted <laugh>. Petty Hoedt has gone it would've made my joke soooooo much better

    We should offer £10m and plus either Long or Obafemi on loan.

    I can`t see Saints paying anything like £65k a week for a young loanee who might not start every week.

    That’s why I said without Ings goals not without Ings. We would have a replacement, although I doubt they would do as well given the service he gets.

    £2.5 million is probably less than some loan fees.

    But United might want a loan fee. If they do it puts the deal at risk of falling through

    Guys, stop worrying about stuff that isn't our money. If the club think he's worth bringing in on 65k a week, let them!

    Brighton have bought Mwepu from Salzburg. Highly rated midfielder. Means Bousomma is off I reckon.

    This made be laugh!

    I do wonder who these people are making these predictions and what tiny threads of evidence they are basing their assessments on. Crook is one of a number of names who have appeared in here from time to time with golden nuggets of information which suggest a degree of insider knowledge. It is funny reading them but even more assuming when events come to expose the fallibility of these predictions.

    What if he isn't off? Perhaps are building a much better team.

    Adam Blackmore is a lot more reliable!

    But Crook isn’t just making it up. It’s fed to him by the club. This isn’t anything new. Clubs brief media on their own developments and also on other players that they are targeting. It’s very common. It doesn’t mean Crook is making stuff up, or that he made a prediction that was incorrect. He repeated what was given.

    I’ve said it before but they can’t win. Look at the Twitter mentions of any football reporter and it’s packed with idiots thirsty for any bullshit about their club. This is the culture we have created for ourselves. We want rumours and stories and information. It should be of no surprise to anyone when they don’t all pan out.

    Didn't Semmens actually call Crook out in a fans forum and say that he's nearly always wrong...?
