Nice try Tom. All the money spent on the players you have posted have been financed through a change of ownership at the club, as the new owners are more ambitious than the previous ones. The money that they made from the selling of players in the past was not reinvested into buying players of equal stature, for years that club was run for the benefit of Rupert Lowe and his cronies.

None of the millions and millions of pounds made from the sale of players is invested into making suitable replacements at Southampton. Fact.

That's the same for everyone, not just me. It's about two hundred miles from where I am.

Let's forget about the players I mentioned and start again shall we? Saints sell all their best players, that's a fact. You cited two examples of players that they kept hold of (even though Channon left them for City but we'll ignore that), one of them is Le Tissier which is a one off and one from the seventies. I am not interested in what happened in the seventies, I'm more interested in what has happened more recently. As for the game in Bangkok, I won't be going because I'm not in Thailand any more. I was at Old Trafford yesterday.

Other than Shearer those players are all from the last ten years. Saints do not have a reputation for keeping hold of their best players now, that's my point. I'm not interested in what happened in the seventies.

Le Tissier was a one off and I'm not concerned with what happened in the seventies, all of the players I mentioned as examples that left Southampton for other clubs are from the last ten years. Do try to keep up Thomas.

I disagree. How can any club that has a record of selling all their best players ever be considered as a team with ambition? Before City were wealthy they weren't a team that were known for selling all their best players. Look at the players that Saints have sold over the years, Shearer, Bridge, Walcott, Bale, Chamberlain and they're just the ones I remember off the top of my head. Explain to me how a club that has ambition made the decision to sell all those players?

You mean you'd break your anonymity so that two great minds can meet? I'm up for that. I don't think he will go for that much because there are only two or three clubs in Italy, Spain or England that have that sort of money and would be willing to pay that. I can't see him going to Italy and it's very doubtful he would go to Real Madrid or Barcelona, for one thing he wouldn't be guaranteed a game every week if he went to either of those clubs. As for English teams, well, only City or United could afford to pay that much although I doubt they would. City are wealthy enough to pay that for

Awesome film starring the brilliant Sean Penn

I'd lay money on it that he won't go for fifty million if he does leave Spurs. Any one fancy a bet with me?

Morgan Freeman

Wherever he goes (if he goes) no one will pay that much for him. People in the press are comparing him with Ronaldo and Messi which is ridiculous, he's good but he's not that good. If Spurs were offered anything in excess of twenty-five million he will go, they're not going to turn down that much money as they're not that rich.

If he goes to United then that will be the case. He's got to be worth at least twenty million.

Chevy Chase

That isn't important to me.

Not German but I am a massive c@!t.

He's talking shite again which he likes to do on a weekly basis in this thread. Just ignore him, in his world Liverpool are still in the running for the title.

Living where I do certainly reinforces the theory behind that article.

Money may well buy you a few trophies but sustaining success is a completely different thing all together. City will buy more expensive players in the summer thinking that will be the answer but it won't be. Mancini won't be there come the start of next season, he'll be gone when they win nothing this season.

Liverpool haven't been in the title race all season and even if they would have won on Monday night they would still have been twenty-six points behind them. Am I missing something here? Perhaps you can enlighten us all and explain why it needed Liverpool to lose on Monday night for the title to be awarded to United? Yes the surprise package for me, I even tipped them to get relegated before the season started. They've done brilliantly.

Yeah you're right, it remains to be seen. I for one am still waiting because the last time I checked they're in eighth position and twenty-nine points behind United. I think if anything, you go on the piss before you make most of your comments in this thread because you very often make it sound like you have a very limited knowledge of football.

No, they're not.

My prediction looking pretty good with thirteen games to go.
