    Rocket Swanie (that's a name for the 606ers) is saying we're buying Axel Witsel for £14m. I assume it's a combined deal for him and Freddy Adu.

    Isn't he a bullshitter? Or am I thinking of some one else?

    Nah he's a straight up bullshitter. Freddy Adu, Hamdi Salihi and others. Sibley and the gang used to joke about him on Twitter a lot. The one thing he kept banging on about that he got right was Radhi Jaidi, who was reported everywhere else too so wasn't exactly an exclusive.

    The impression I got was that he did have access to some sort of information, or someone was telling him things, but it was very unreliable. Treat him like a tabloid.

    This will never make sense to me. What did we do for him? He is responsible for his own good performances, and by extension a big part in a good season for us. He came here from a bigger club, probably had barely even heard of Southampton, and he was clearly doing it to turn his career around, because he was always a top player who could be in a Champions League club.

    Seriously, what did we do for him?

    Hope they hold out for a bumper fee though.
