Pretty extensive ITK from Southampton about players and board, but worth the read
I am surprised nobody posted that earlier

Ultimately, at best we'll spend a lot of money on them on deadline and not give them time to settle
We'll go into the season with players that have yet to gel. Standard really
What are you guys talking about ?
Well Daniel show their chairman the 2 fingers and move on.Southampton Chairman saying Schneiderlin and Rodriquez won't be sold.
Did we cave, or were we just waiting for them to make us an offer we couldn't refuse? After all, there was no way we were going to keep him and fulfil Villas-Boas' wish list.
I just don't believe Kruger
But they will know the manager and he will know them. Not hard to fit them into the system when you have coached them for the previous 18 months. Simply a case of telling the other players what to expect and having them deliver.Ultimately, at best we'll spend a lot of money on them on deadline and not give them time to settle

This is the second time I've seen you write this. You seem to be suggesting that Bale was sold at AVB's behest, which is almost certainly not the case. He had a wish list I'm sure. But a) I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have swapped Bale for Hulk even if he could b) the only player we got that would have been high on AVB's wish list was Paulinho for 17m. We hardly needed to sell Bale for 90m to buy Paulinho. The only other player we were told was explicitly an AVB approved signing was Capoue at 7/8m. I'm pretty sure Soldado, Chadli, Chiriches, Lamella and Eriksen weren't. With the other players sold last summer we didn't need to sell Bale to buy Paulinho and Capoue, Soldado even.
AVB's wish list might have been a tad optimistic, but was no more out of line with club policy than Pochettino's current one (Lovren 20m, Schneiderlin 27m ?) or most of Redknapp's (16m Keane, 15m Defoe, 100k pw Cole, Tevez is doable blah blah ???).
Surprised by the arrogance in here that we still expect both to join. This is money, levy and an already wounded club with the fans in a fury. Can't see either happening. Too slow to act. Move on methinks guys :-/
If the club is for sale as is likely, it means very little what any of them say as they're all gonna be gone before too long.Liebherr might be going above his head anyway. She's the one stripping the place bare.
Thought AVB wish list was that geezer from Porto, moutinho or summit, oh yeah and Hulk, that turned out well, and from reports AVB wasn't a happy bunny.
Can see the same happening with Poch to be honest with regards JR and MG
Didn't Donna say Bale was staying? She's still hereIf he was lying then he's made a fairly big rod for his own back. Can't see either happening myself as he'd basically have to resign after those comments.
