Woah there. Who is moaning? I'm delighted. Wasn't that obvious?
There is no Holtby, only Zuul.
Come on JC, I wasn't talking about you with regards to the moaning.
:lennonlol:
Sorry I read you wrong. Without the benefit of cheeky grins, and the odd raised eyebrow, it can happen.

Levy's done them with the old - "now about the sell on and performance clauses..............oh, you haven't already announced the transfer to the world have you?"
aulinhowtf:Well, Paulinho will still have the Brazil half of the shirt to wear once the transfer falls through.
wanyama, williams, sissoko & berahino would be good signings.
ward-prowse is promising. wicked cross on him.
shawcross decent but rather toby.
gestede? barely seen. pass.
deeney more that good enough 3rd striker for us.
hughes i think is overhyped because he is english & can actually control a ball & pass straight.
tadic. not bad but blows hot & cold & too inconsistant.
il add---
callum wilson. so much potential.
rhodes scores so many. but heard hes lazy & poor all round game which wouldnt work for poch.
redmond? not bad but got a feeling he wont improve much.
gray? lots of skill & ability. but will he be effective.
This may be something alot of you will disagree on - I personally think, that Alderweireld would be better suited to us than Schneiderlin. (as example)
He (according to the media) wants to play in London, and join up with some of his Belgian friends to play at Tottenham. Vertonghen and Alderweireld could be our new CB pairing or he will be moved to defensive midfield, a position he can also play in. He can also play RB if it was needed. He has massive experience - CL, EL, one season in Spain, one season in England, almost 50 caps for Belgium and a great player in the Eredivisie (and players coming from the Netherlands seem to work out well).
Schneiderlin on the other hand is a better defensive midfielder, no doubt about that. But, he has never played in european competition. He also demands hefty wages and doesn't really respect Southampton as a football club. How many times did he tell the media that he wants to leave? It puts the selling club in a bad situation. And he's another player who thinks that Champions League is the holy grail of football.
Because signing a player from another league doesn't mean they'll fail. Vertonghen, Hugo, eriksen, even dier did well his first season. Chadli did well in his second season. I believe lamela will come good too. If you get the right player in the right system, they'll succeed. Just because we've signed some duds in the past doesn't mean they'll all be bad.
not really a parade. just a couple of small comments.
but carry on with the dramatics.
pretend i have a levy vodoo doll if u like too.
I'm very happy with the reports that say Alder is coming for £14 million - but that's still a big signing for us IMO.
true. but i think we will lose just as much in transfer fees & wages because he over values all our players by way too much.
i think it evens itself out.
it is Sunderland
its a very dramatic board.
