So long Willie, you've been a star for us. Sad to see you go.

Thank God for that - now we can all move on - Good Luck Willie but dont forget who's paying your wages in the meantime.

Might now change my name to MarthaManu

Interesting that he has signed a two-year deal with us...didn't you offer him three?

the 2 year deal bit is interesting, we offered three in the end, so it must just have been the massive wage they offered good luck to him he's been a great servant I'll miss him and so will the Club!

Why [imust [/iit have been that? You really think that Saints would have offered him [isubstantially [/imore money so that a two year deal would be financially more rewarding than a three year one?

I reckon there are other factors that we are unaware of...

Well I don't wish him luck. I hope his form takes a massive nose dive from around October 2012 onwards and that he's a shadow of the player we've enjoyed seeing for the last six years.

it was rumoured that they had offered a much more substantial deal over 2 years then we had over 3 years money talks in sport they is no loyalty unless your a local lad like yeamo or horney
good luck willie apart from when you play us next year

On the bright side I reckon we have had the best out of him, at his age the injuries tend to start hitting and overall performance generally take a downward turn.
