    Umm... It's to tennis, what Subbuteo is to football. I guess.

    EDIT: Ah yes, thanks Saintly (above). I forgot 'ping-pong' is the official name!

    This has got complicated. You are criticising Grazziano for picking the wrong destination rather than taking the lucre.
    The US hasn't got an arrogant and corrupt government? o_O

    (BTW I think Grazzi was more interested in the restaurants than the govt record ;))

    We're signing someone called nose? Did he touch his ear too? If so, maybe we're signing Rose or another Jose?

    True. But I lived where Pelle is going. It's pretty grim.

    I'm not brave enough to promote personal hat consumption, but I will be very surprised if he sees out his contract

    Depends on the Chinese really. I'm sure they can make his life comfortable and luxurious if they want to.

    It is a shame (sort of, as I don't particularly want Leicester to do well again) but it shows straight away that it doesn't matter how successful a smaller club is in the short term, players can still be easily lured away for the right price, will give up playing for a team in European cup competition for a "big" team with no European games.
    I expect the word ambition will be mentioned, but its all either down to wages or location.
    Saints should never be surprised when our top players leave - if the damn reigning league champions can't keep their best players, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone when the same happens to us.

    Hopefully it will weaken Leicester enough so that we can finish above them this season. If Riyad Mahrez goes as well, then they will revert to being an also ran in the mid table mini league which of course suits us.

    I presume you have left an expletive out of that sentence. No one else should be allowed to leave apart from those going on loan for their development.

    If there was a salary cap almost none of this would happen.

    If....
    As there isn't one and never will be, nothing will prevent this happening because people are often greedy and self centred.

    Wouldn't even need a salary cap. The problem stems from the fact that contracts can be torn up and rewritten at any time...players would be far less likely to push for a move if it did not come with financial bonuses.

    Alas, neither will ever happen.

    We would never sign a player from a financially weaker club by paying him more, of course.
