Will Still appointed as manager

My French bread is a litte bit crusty, rustique.

 

I’ve no regrets about posting that

 

Our record with transfer records is appalling, I can’t ever recall a decent one, but there must be in the distant past somewhere

Can anyone recall one?

Actually it may be Sadio, don’t know if he was a record at the time

 

I think it depends on whether you base it solely on the agreed fee, or if you include any subsequent add-ons and sell-on fees etc.

For example, a number of sources quote Tino as our current record signing - but I believe that's because they include the sell-on which we paid to Chelsea (out of the fee we received from Newcastle). Technically that is a part of the transfer agreement we reached with Chelsea (albeit the amount was unknown at the time), but I doubt any Saints fan considers Tino to be our record signing.

At the time we purchased Mane, I think the fee was less than what we paid for Gaston (but I might be mis-remembering). But if you include all monies paid to Salzburg, then the only purchases which beat it have all been made since we signed him.

 

I thought I met him last night at Musical Statues club.


But it was just his friend, Still Will

 

Would you prefer your coat, a taxi, or a table for one?

 

So back to the when did we ever make a successful record signing question

Anyone?

EDIT: Rory Delap was our record for quite a while

 

If based on initial fee alone, then I would suggest Ings. I think he counts because, from memory, the initial fee for him was slightly more than for Carrillo (something like £20m vs £19m).

 

Danny Ings for £20m was our record signing for a bit. That one worked out well

 

For anyone who is unconvinced, check above.

 

I struggle to be positive about Ings, he was supposedly back in his spiritual home and he dumped us
I felt particularly let down because he was from my village

Anyone that wasn’t tainted in some way?

 

We’re going full cringe and announcing him at the game aren’t we

 

On the topic of French bread, a boulangerie patisserie has opened on my urbanisation this very morning, right next to my watering hole, on my walks.
I will certainly be taking a look in there during the week.

 

Saints last post on Facebook said all is STILL and calm at St Mary's

Nice

 

I get the feeling he will surprise a few on here……..myself included.

 

Apparently you need to kill french vampires by hammering a baguette through their heart.
Painstaking work

 

No, it was Lens.
