"Guys, which Saints player shall we write about this week?" "Not sure boss. Which one haven't we done yet?" "Rodriguez" "Yeah, okay.....Liverpool and Arsenal.....?" "Done" http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-arsenal-poised-transfer-scrap-2713269
Well that's bullshit. Mainly because Rodriguez hasn't done enough to attract the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.
Like the idea of Jay as the answer if Suarez departs. 50m for Suarez, late-window 40m offer for Jay...I suppose I can live with that.
The Morgan article writes itself. "Southampton's midfield maestro Morgan Schneiderlin is said to be frustrated at a lack of attention from his national team, and is set to force a move away in January in order to boost his chances of getting an invitation to Brazil".
Would like to see you keep your best players. I think you have the backing to keep hold of key players or sufficiently replace them if they do go. Those stories are complete bullshit though.

Is there any way one can reply to this stuff and make sure people see it, in connection with this ****..?
Have to agree. JRod is showing potential and will improve at Saints, but nowhere near ready for teams like Arsenal. I can believe they've looked, because who wouldn't be looking at Saints at the moment, but he will only be a note in the margin marked 'keep an eye on'. He'd be a fool to accept even if asked, because, unless it's purely for the money, he will be better off at a team that will play him.
One thing we should think about...there will come a day when Cortese sells a fan favourite for financial or team reasons. Top clubs do that sometimes We may have to be brave little soldiers.
