All this bad feeling over a player who might be decent, that we might have bid for, who might have snubbed us.
I personally couldn't give a toss about him unless he's wearing a Stoke shirt. The best part of this thread has been the title changes.

Stoke and more importantly for the owners (BET365) being outmanoeuvred by Southampton now three times in the last 18 months? Questions need to be asked why? Totally agree. The Redmond signing really was the one that got me. The lad is Jack butlands best mate, and what a signing he would have been for us How many people make job choices depending on whether their best mate works at the same place just out of interest? Probably not many....

Probably not many.... Exactly, knowing people is nice when going in to a new dressing room but it's not what a player looks at when signing for a club. It's the added bonus if all the other aspects of the move are right.

I wonder if he's gone Southampton because of their track record of being a stepping stone to bigger clubs and bigger money:
Shaw, Pelle, Llalana, Walcott etc
With the sale of Smakeboy 🐍 I think, for the first time since Stein, Sheron, Chapman, we've actually sold a player for big money
Perhaps we should see this as a positive sign, it'll mean we may lose players when they're established but it may mean our reputation attracts those seeking greater glory but not yet high profile
Perhaps a sound and responsible business model just in case the bubble bursts 😬

Is there any proof for this whatsoever, Dan? There was a solid tweet from a random man/ woman/ robot Ive never met nor heard of before.

Or to be honest the player either. Must think they're a better option right now and I guess you can't blame him. We'll never know. May not be about a better offer but who he's asked about the two clubs he had an option with

May not be about a better offer but who he's asked about the two clubs he had an option with This is the most likely reason. Looking at us a lot of people have us to be relagated, we sold our biggest player to a mid table rival and have being bringing in free transfers, it doesn't sell us as big players who could help push a player on.

Simple utterly clueless transfer. Team and CEO , we never win a genuinely competitive race for a player because we've have simply a uncompetitive commercial set up at this Level , Redmond , soares , and now this say Southampton are pissing all over us at will , if it happened on the pitch the cries of Hughes out would be deafening l
Scholes and his gimp simply have to go
not a penny spent of the 25-30 m inbound because we can't win a competitive race for a player , come deadline day we will be spending on the Jonny cant find another club metchants , sell before we buy comical.Now , Whelan and walters would walk into the team at Everton on merit .

Benji in getting annoyed by a player not joining he'd never even heard of 3 days ago shocker. Plus if no one sold before they bought there would never be another transfer in the history of the game....

They've got a better record of bringing on players for re-sale to top clubs.
They are geographically more attractive, I'd say.
A reputation for being a 'footballing' football club.
Some good players there already.
They can probably pay equal/better than we can.
If you were betting, you'd probably bet on them finishing ahead of us. They are currently closer to Top 6 than we are, I think.

I wouldn't think Walters or Whelan would be near to first team against Everton Benji...and believe me, a first class view of Whelan for Villa so far is that he is poor for The Championship, they have spent too much on him & that Stoke must be laughing to have got a fee for him.

According to some Lemina is not physical enough for Premiership. I'm glad we didn't sign him because we need add some steel on the middle of the park.

Do you just listen to the stuff you want to listen to? If you think this summer is a well executed strategy fine , I think it's a catastrophic display of incompetence beyond belief . To quote tymon is ridiculous he's so far off the premier league it's untrue , scholes says it's 2017 I wouldnt believe him let's see how you how many of the top players in the world he actually delivers by spending every penny of the 25 -30 million

Do you just listen to the stuff you want to listen to? Of course he does. It's just agenda driven bulls piss. He appears on every single thread with his templated whine. Just changes the names to reflect the topic. And why can you read perfectly what he's posted above yet sometimes it looks like a dyslexic spider has crawled across his keyboard? Because he's a troll and he's taking the piss.

Got to be honest, that video of him posted on here as a promotional thing was terrible. Based on that alone I'm glad we didn't sign him, he looked awful, poor first touch and gave the ball away. And that in a video to show your best bits. He might turn out to be decent but based on that I really aren't fussed
