The sky info bar shows we have signed 2 players from Southampton ? T Leggett and somebody else ? Are they youth players ?

Imagine the jealousy we must cause, our sub goalie is on 70k per week. I hope we avoid Barcelona up until the final this year

Picking off their stars before they've even become stars. That's how far ahead of the game we are.

I'd be willing to bet we didn't spend £7m on Kozak. Just like it has been proven we didn't spend the initial reported fees on the likes of Westwood or Lowton etc.

Where has it been proven?

Lambert himself has said that both fees were not what was reported and I believe he even went as far as saying they were under a million in each case.

The ex CEO and company accounts showed he was talking bollocks though.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

We didnt.  My friend works for the bank (HSBC) tht insured the signing.  We paid 4m Euro's upfront.  Then further installments based on appearances and goals

I hope your friend enjoys looking for a new job when his employers find out he has breached client confidentiality!

2 Youth players they released
Are they likely to get squad numbers or just go into the youth pool?

I'd rather have them at the training ground. Couldn't care less if they're any good at swimming.

In our dreams, didn't we splash £9mill on Southgate, Draper and Savo that summer.

I think they're both 16 so youth pool, they've both appeared in the youth team squad games in pre-season, they had a half each in the game yesterday.
