Transfer Rumours The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2016

I agree that murder is where you intend to kill someone, but sometimes you are so reckless that death was a likely outcome. Hit someone in a fight and it's probably manslaughter, but stab them with a weapon carried for that purpose should be murder....sometimes people who stab get away with murder because they claim it wasn't intent. To me the degree of recklessness should be considered. Driving when bladdered is a high degree of recklessness. And as for the argument that they made a bad decision because they had been drinking..... You can't use the crime as the excuse.

 

Sad but true.........

 

Well for murder the intent is to kill or commit GBH.

 

Perhaps there is a need for an intermediate crime....though I suspect the judges would consider they had enough range in sentencing to cover it.

 

This is correct. To be guilty of murder the defendant has to want to either kill or seriously harm someone at the time of the incident.

No pre meditation is required, or indeed an intent to kill.

 

OK, going back to the formation debate - that should get us back on track.

Loads of people hated Pochettino when he was here whenever we hit a rough patch for having "no plan B". Now he's left, he's become perfect in the rose tinted spectacles of hindsight. I want to be clear, I'm not particularly aiming this at people on here but he's being painted by some people as a variety of perfect manager. However, at the time, he was criticised heavily.

If Puel gets Saints playing the diamond successfully after half a dozen games, we'll have a plan B. Just wondering if that'll be a bad thing. I predict that if he succeeds here then once he's left for Arsenal (joke) he'll be remembered as a brilliant tactician who had loads of ways to play up his sleeve, never stuck for an effective formation, a tactical genius who could change formations at the drop of a hat. Current travails will be utterly forgotten.

It might not work but so far it hasn't cost anything like as much as the (again airbrushed into near sainthood) Koeman managed over Christmas 2015 with what should have been an efficient and well-settled team.

Thought the same HR; just got in myself hoping to read some transfer news or rumors; guess this seems to about sum up our Summer transfer activity...

 

Harry Reed to Derby on loan?

 

Wolves want him permanently apparently.

 

We could do the Joe Root chant for Boufal?
Booooooooooooooooooofal

 

Berahino has tweeted that he's on holiday with his family? So maybe not moving in this window?

 

Sorry wrong thread. Durrrrr

 

Do you think we'd sell?

 

Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.

 

I was just about to say that!!

 

I would be gutted if we moved Harry on. I think he's got the lot - should have played for the first team loads more

 

Disagree. We should move on him on for his sake.

 

No idea, but if we do we need another midfielder.

 

No we don't. Hojbjerg, Romeu, Clasie, JWP, Davis.

 

5 isn't enough for 3 places. Two players for each postion is, especially with the amount of fixtures we have.
