    Going by the amount of press for Chung last year him only being there will bring them. If you sign him, they will come.

    Do you really think the video is really that convincing, or does Cortese maybe ask them to specifically mention it upon signing?

    Maybe it has subliminal messages in it.<yikes>

    Nigel hasn't done his usual pre-match routine. Is he waiting so he can introduce all of our late signings after the madness has finished?

    Here's a little comparison, when Mayuka signed @officialsaints got 265 retweets, Yoshida signs and they get 1,267 retweets and still rising, the power of the Far East!!

    Seems to be a concerted effort to break into foreign markets, particularly Japan, but Mayuka is a big star in Africa so that's a canny move too. Just hope they live up to their billing on the pitch, can't be buying for commercial reasons only.

    The DVD is personalized for the player (Buttner..damn his eyes mentioned that), but the fans celebration after promotion is quite a feature as well. so basically they sign because we are so wonderful:)

    I am sure a small part of it was for commercial reasons, but obviously the main reason we bought them is because they are very good footballers. It was funny when I looked at some of the tweets from Zambian or African people, a lot of them were saying 'binning my Man Utd shirt, getting my Saints shirt with Mayuka on the back.' Hopefully, all these deals prove to be good all round.

    No doubting that, but we all know what happens if talent doesn't work hard <laugh>

    Think of it as a subtle form of neo-colonialism.
