All about Schneiderlin returning and boy did Jan big him up.

I personally rate him and hate seeing Saints supporters jump on his back as they did with Fuller, KJ and BWP. You ****s never ****ing learn. If you give these young guys time they will improve and show what they have. How many of you ******s would take Fuller back now. Every ****ing on of you if you have half a clue about anything. This is his first full season and he is playing regularly - hence things are going well for him - certainly compared to previous seasons where he didn't get a look in. OK so he could do with a goal or two, but FFS when will you ****ers learn that most pros take a while to find their feet. Check out the scoring of BT and MLT in their first full seasons at SFC. This guys has talent and if nutured correctly he could prove to be a very good player for us.

can't see it selling out myself.

gutted to hear him on Hampshire Radio speak with little or no desire to stay IMO. He talked about keeping his head down but from what I heard it sounded very much like he was just waiting for a Premiership offer. Surman is a top player and contrary to the statements above mine he is playing very well indeed right now. He appears to have a great engine to add to a fine first touch, ability on the ball and desire to urst into the box. The game is all about opinions but anyone that descirbes him as a League 1 player it talking complete and utter ******** and doesn't know their arse from the elbow when it comes to spotting player talent. Next you will be telling me Wotton will be a fine replacement.

the system is fine we just need to mix things up a little with more long balls (with themidfield pushing up to get the knock downs etc.), more diagonal balls over the fullbacks shoulder with the wide men putting them under pressure, wingers that stay wide and then dribble down the line and get to the bloody byeline, and better shooting from the likes of Lallana and BWP. I'd also like to see us break a little quicker, less crossing from deep and when we get in the final third lets get the ball in the box not go back round again. Lets pass it short to get in hte right areas but once there lets reduce the number of passes before we hit the box.

tired and low. This feeling is not helped by finding so many smug bastards on here saying `I told you so'. Why don't you all **** off back to your own skate message board? I know I have said we will get relegated but that doesn't stop me feeling down when we get murdered. Where the **** is Euell? Why wasn't Morgan back - JP suggested he would be, and how did Pearce turn from being a man mountain on Saturday to a powderpuff on Monday? Boy do we need to do more in the final third. We play two wingers yet we haev got to the byeline about 6 times all season. FFS get down that line and worse case scenario you win a corner. If we don't get a right back in the window we have no chance. James wins as manyheaders as Folly entered into tackles. Thats **** all by the way. We appear to be done by all the pysical sides (and not all are thank god).

maybe Fulham will pay a percentage of his wages.

you talk a lot of sense but you've let yourself down here!

nice. Good idea for another prize giveaway for loyal supporters. Free car park space at the ground...

I do have a ST and I go away as well. I've watched pretty much all his games in the first team and I saw him play in the youth team as well. How about yourself? He was lazy at the start if the season. Stern John left and he improved greatly. He's a nipper, give him time.

spent most of the season sho9uting "get to the byeline". Th likes of James would rather cross from deep than dribble, even if there was space ahead of him. When BWP got the byeline twice down the left hand side against Plymouth we looked lethal. Why doesn't he do that all the time. His left foot crossing is actually really good.

honestly? That is ****ing great news. Please someone make my day by telling me John, Saga and Rasiak deals are all done. With these guys off our wage bill we really can start moving forward.

all great players but make note that BT scored just 6, 0, and 12 in his first three seasons at SFC? The great tiss scored just 7 in his first full season (2 and 5 in the previous two seasons). I wouldn't write McGoldrick off just yet.

spot on.

I have a ST but I'm certainly not in denial. With the financial problems we have (we actually lost £17m last year without player sales saving us) I have said (and keep saying) that we will go down. Anything other than relegation will be a bonus. With that in mind I think we are doing pretty well. For starters we are than we finished last season, and really I like our passing style. I like the number of chances we are creating, I loving watching Lallana, Surman, McGoldrick and Cork linking up and but for some poor finishing we would have won quite a few more games. I do go to the away games so I have seen us win games this season.

was he injured perhaps?

Patterson and McGoldrick are both excellent prospects. The boo boys can all **** off.

we are doing a hell of a lot better than I thought we would. Great first half. Gutted we didn't hold on. Cheer up people, we are playing well.

poor game today buts not write him off just yet. 20 games into a career, plenty of time to improve.

what difference does it make whether we pay the mortgage off to the bank or the rent to the council. Actually just like with housing it is better to pay a mortgage off as you get a house at the end that is yours to sell (or in our case live in rent free) than to pay rent that goes on forever and at whatever price the landlord sees fit.

my question is does the loan agreement permit him to be sold to another party? I can't see it happening. None of our senior players are going to be bought. They are all on ludicrous wages and clubs don't want to be saddled with those wages (plus a fee) and then pay them during the summer months. Much easier to loan them till end iof may and then hand them back. Rasiak and John must be tempting for other teams though as they are proven scorers if perhaps not the best team players.

no offence Kate from Andover (in the Echo's own message board) but Ryan Smith has been utter ****e and I don't want to see a single penny of my ST mney going to pay his wages. Get rid. We have BWP, Surman, Holmes, Skacel and Lallana who could all fill the wide left role better than he can. As for the rest. Pekhart looks worse than Patterson, and he is on our own books so don't see the point in signing him up again. Robertson has done very little to impress me. Besides John and Saga will return (hopefyully they won't stay long or the money will run out) so we don't need all these strikers. I assume Dyer will be back as well. If Davis stays then Bart needs to be loaned out.

Rasiak is on a season long loan. Can he be sold in January to a third party (I assume Watford won't buy him in the window as they haev no need to)?

you have to get the starting price right in the first place though.

first thing I looked for in the player profile text was pace. And its there. Fantastic. There are very few (if any) top quality fullbacks without pace. I'm interested to know if he has height or is decent in the air. Anyone know?
