I seem to have missed all the fun, sorry all.
Some observations:
If you don't want Skylarker here,please try not to let him get to you the way he has. As I said the other day, he's not breaking the rules by being here, but the joke is that the quote he posted had already appeared a few pages before. It would have been funnier if someone had just politely pointed that out to him at the time, rather than get uptight about it.
On the main topic, in an ideal world it would be wonderful if Saints drew a line in the sand and didn't let Virgil go this window. Imagine if he just happened to be here on September 2nd (or the day after whenever the window actually shuts). What could he then do? If he won't play, he's in breach of his contract and needn't be paid. If he does play, and don't forget he hasn't played since January, he has to train and play bloody well to attract a buyer in January. So either way it's win-win for Saints, especially if we could actually sign his replacement in this window who Virgil has to compete for a place with.
Please, Les, do it for the fans, the club, and your own everlasting glory.
