Pochettino confirmed we made a bid for Coutinho.

No he didn't.

I quote: "I am not frustrated about not being able to sign him, I knew there was a small chance he would come here, but overall I have not had much time to consider new signings"

Are you telling me we weren't in for him?

No, there was clearly interest from Saints, but I'm saying Pochettino didn't confirm that Saints made a bid for him. The quote you used does not confirm a bid was made, merely that there was interest.

You're splitting hairs. That's as close as MP could get to saying it without outright saying it.

Reading that quote, that reads as - "we made a bid, but he chose to go elsewhere".

The various media reports at the time also confirmed a bid.

Yes, the quote confirms interest, and implies a bid ("a small chance he would come here", if no bid was made, it would have been zero chance!)

It's only logical that a bid was made, considering the low fee he went to Liverpool for. If we were interested (which we were) and didn't bid, then I fear for our future because we're being run by idiots.

You go around acting as if every player we are linked to is a done deal, yet now someone has gone somewhere else we didn't bid?
 
Stalking time again? They're in Patisserie Valerie.

He's looked stupid in every picture I've seen of him lol

I have a friend who dresses a lot like that (well, his girlfriend dresses him). You can often tell a lot about someone by the way they dress, but not always. Reading his Twitter makes me think he's alright. It makes for a better read than Shaw's at least.
