And do you honestly think that Rodgers had no overriding influence in the decision to bring in the Soton lads?

I've consistently pointed out that both he and Ayre confirmed Brod has the final say. I was merely taking the piss out of you 'the committee signed the good (in you opinion) players but Brod signed the **** ones'

I am 100% sure it was BR that wanted Lallana and Lovren and insisted on pursuing them as the price went up. We'd already seen the committee, when having the majority influence, had turned Lovren down for less money and go for players 24 and under, which Lallana doesn't fit especially for the price.

To me it looks as if Rodgers looked at Soton last season and thought they've done well and play a similar style, so their players will fit into the team. Which would have been fine if they hadn't cost £44 ****ing million.

Saw all those earlier. Bittencourt is an AM from what I gather, has big potential on FIFA <whistle>

£27m for 17 year old is ridiculous and can't see us or anyone paying that. Prop just his release clause which the lazy journalist has just used instead.

Thats the point of release clauses. Most European clubs put a ridiculous price in as they have to have one in the contract for legal reasons... Put a price no one will at so you have no chance of losing them against your will

Its t's only here where we don't have to have one that they are set at more reasonable prices.

Evidence suggests I'm right <ok> Much like I was right about how Fixed Term Contracts have to be renewed ;)

My advice to you would be to use a good or the very least, decent solicitor should you ever need it. You certainly shouldn't use that half arsed one you quoted ;)
