And just about the most poorly constructed sentence I've ever read: "Yesterday, Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino threatened to leave if the power struggle at St. Mary's which has seen chairman Nicola Cortese raised the spectre of his departure was to happen."

A superb example of the muddled thinking seen throughout the Express.

Rumours: "English language in shock departure from Express."
 
Wouldn't really be happy with Sinclair personally, didn't think he was that great at Swansea last season, and a year later with many benches warmed he has not grown in my view.
 
The Sunday Times today is reporting that Chelsea believe they have sewn up the signing of Luke Shaw for £10m. The return of Jose Mourinho supposedly being the deal clincher for Shaw.
 
How hard do you think it would be to get some random made up rumour into a newspaper or on something like SSN?

If I were to say Saints have made an enquiry for Geoffrey Kondogbia of Sevilla, somebody on here (probably DTLW as he seems to use twitter a lot) tweets it out, anyone else with twitter re tweets it then BOOM Millie Clode is talking about it a few days later

The guys on SaintsWeb tried in the January window. Spread some rumours on twitter and got it reported as fact on several news feeds.

I'm starting to believe that there may be something in this. If we really are in for Gamez it is hard to believe he would play 2nd fiddle to Shaw, he's been playing Champions League football. In the short term Gamez would be an upgrade on Shaw I would have thought.
 
Gamez is a right back isn't he? Shaw to Chelsea is possible but £10m seems a bit low.

He is indeed, and £10m seems very low to me. If Shaw goes for less than £20m I'd be pretty gutted to be honest, would also be disappointed to see him go to Chelsea in the next year or two as it wouldn't be the right move for him.
