    That's more informative than the information coming from the Club!

    Nothing wrong with the club doing their business behind closed doors. In fact it's a good thing.

    It is how it has always been so shouldn't be surprised, I wouldn't mind being let into the secret, I wouldn't tell anyone.

    Well only with us, and we wouldn't tell anyone either so it would be perfectly safe.

    This thread is like roaming the streets looking for crack when your dealer has been arrested ... I’d imagine

    The only information we need is that we have or have not signed a player. Press speculation may be entertaining but usually a waste of time in my opinion.

    Pretty excited about this. A Man City fan, customer of mine said he’s gutted he’s leaving. The club didn’t want him to leave, but younger players want to play now and haven’t the affiliation to the club that say Foden had when he was younger and willing to be patient to get into the first team, and also doesn’t have the local connection to the club. Plus he plays in the engine part of the team, where they need top level players straight away, leaving the flair players a bit more time to mature.

    Sounds like he’ll fit in perfectly :bandit:

    “The holding midfielder is a position where you must be reliable in possession, and while for the most part Lavia is that, his tendency to carry the ball up the pitch through dribbling has at times backfired. There have been occasions where he has tried to take on too many players, causing him to lose the ball in dangerous positions outside his penalty area. This is something that will get regularly punished at the top level, and these mistakes in decision making will need to be ironed out from his game”

    Giving the ball away in dangerous areas is the Southampton Way.

    Subtle difference: Lavia gives the ball away trying to move upfield.

    Yeah, but the ball doesn’t care

    Hampshire pavements (and roads) are full of cracks. Oh, have I (deliberately) misunderstood things?
