Sparky will sign bargain buys he found off Football Manager.
Just like he did at Stoke 
But we use Football Manager
Itās just hosted on a Dell Desktop.
That happens to be black and box shaped.

So MLG and the like are our point of reference when it comes to the transfer market.
Upvoted for being funneh.
But to be fair - in the middle of corporate speak, Ralph did actually drop the bomb shell that we employ 41 Scouts across Europeā¦
Which I doubt are all MLG alternate user names

All 3 had shit seasons. If we can get good money for them I wouldnāt be averse to getting rid.

The World Cup Sweepstake will be won by @cobham-saint .
He will have bought out every other āinvestorā so that he may win.
Iām going to sell him my stake at half price once I get dinged out in the first game. Clever eh ? He wonāt be able to resist a bargain.

I just read some on line shit about us wanting to sign Ben Gibson for Ā£20m. Thatās surely bullshit?
I also see that Boufal has won the Carling goal of the season award

Seeing as we Always buy better for less then itās a no brainer. Southampton way. Les Reed football genius.
Crikey. One could make a lot of predictions about this as well as copying it onto Salisbury Brexit & no doubt Crimea, Syria and other threads.
Maybe a gap in the Top 6 next season 
Some "make of this what you will scuttlebutt from Hoedt over on fiverweb. But actually seems to be sensible so a likely ITK
ties in with the source we havd who said the players were split AND ties with Romeuās interview
Hey lads, Iām a dutchman who is related to Wesley Hoedt, and I got to talk to him yesterday while heās still in the country, hereās some notes I took:
99% sure heās staying, wants to atleast finish his contract
Prefers life in England over Italy
Happy with Hughes (probably staying)
Club wants to get rid of strikers (2 likely)
Club looking for new scoring players
Player got send home because of being 1 minute late to team breakfast when Hughes took over
Not sure about defenders joining, didnāt know what defenders where leaving yet
Said mope wasnāt very disciplined with players which made some players get lazy(he didnāt mind players showing up to 30 mins late)
Players walked out on mope during
training multiple times which led to the sacking, the board wouldnāt listen to the players until much laterWouldāve probably stayed at lazio if he knew he would be in a relegation battle
Wouldāve gotten a 40% salary cut if saints got relegated, would probably still stay if relegated because of his contract
Salary gave him the biggest push to move from serie A to premier league
I think those were the most interesting things I noticed, maybe thereās some useful info here.

Some interesting little snippets in there, thanks for sharing Phil
Glad it was appreciated. I feel so dirty having gone over there in lurk mode.
In my defence I was boredā¦

I predict we will get shafted by the big teams and the owners will not buy any well known players
