Southampton still don't want to sell Schneiderlin?

I'm shocked.
Yes, I await ITK myself that surprises or shocks me. You know, the kind of info that makes you feel you've just gone three times around the world greatest helter-skelter ride, gotten off and had a Call of Duty style shoot-out with several hundred terrorists then leapt off the edge of the grand canyon in a hang glider and had an aerial dogfight with several stealth eurofighter jets before landing and telling darth vader to stick his light sabre where the force don't shine.

But unfortunately, ITK don't do adrenalin control, they just part with what they hear. Inconsiderate bastards. :D

In case it was needed, that wasn't aimed at anyone passing on the message...

Just another case of deja vu with the whole situation. Predictable we will go back in, predictable he isn't for sale unless someone plonks £30+m on the table, predictable it will be drawn out and ultimately wont happen.

Poch/Baldini/Levy need to have the conversation now that this one isn't happening, and move on...










When is said Helter-Skelter being unveiled by A+C Enterprises, btw?

We do not play in the CL, we don't pay CL level wages and we've only ever played in the CL once. CL standard players will go to CL teams. Not to us. We can only buy potential.
Although I agree with this in general.

It is hard to argue that players like Eriksen, Lloris and Vertonghen were not CL level players when they signed.

re the ITK from Trix, not too surprising but I'm not sure there are bigger holes in the squad. We are overloaded with numbers in CM but are lacking a single top quality player in what is arguably the most important position on the field. Bentaleb and Mason may well get there but they are not there yet.

I'm not sure I agree that there are bigger holes in the squad than at CM. Yes we need a wide forward to give us another goal scoring option and maybe inject a bit of pace, we could also do with a CB, but where we are really lacking players that fit into Poch's system is at CM. The problem is that we have Paulinho, Dembele and Capoue all of which need to be sold before we can significantly strengthen in that area.

Don't spend the windows chasing unrealistic targets , identify who we need who we can afford .If nobody comes fine but hopefully get rid of some would be nice.

I would have considered CM the most important. If we only signed Schneiderlin, I think we would all be delighted.

Think we will get a CM. But he said we couldn't afford Schneiderlin as we had other area to focus on. Would that be a striker?

Potentially. Can't imagine we'll spend anywhere near £20m on a striker though either. Loan more possible IMO.

You're agreeing with me but saying not sure you agree....anyway, I agree.

With the toon a mess at the moment, should spurs make a cheeky bid for sissoko?

There is no greater need than a striker to play with or instead of Kane. Anyone who thinks differently can't have been watching us this season. Soldado has forgotten how to score goals and Adebayor has burnt too many bridges. We are an injury to Kane away from effectively playing without a striker.
