Mr Saints

Sorry but anyone who thinks Hjojberg is a Wanyama replacement has never seen him play or just doesn't understand the game. They are completely different midfielders. We have a gaping hole in centre mid and crucially it's an area where we're physically light IMO.

Agreed. We've had a great chance to show some real ambition after the brilliant end of season run to 6th but it just hasn't happened. Hope I'm wrong but I fear a number of clubs have overtaken us.

Agreed, we should be in for him. But we won't be and he will end up at Stoke.

No issue with the incoming players, I think they will all prove to be good signings. It's the manager that worries me.

Poor result. We're in a battle with 9 other teams to finish 17th or above. Luckily for us there are some poor sides in this league.

He's been pony for Arsenal in whatever position he's played. If he did come back I hope it would be as backup.

A presence in holding midfield and an attacking player with flair and pace. It might mean the board putting their hands in their pockets but there are players out there.

I bloody hope not, completely different players. Vic and Mane replacements still desperately needed.

I was positive at the end of last season but if Fonte goes then it's been a shocking summer. Love him or hate him, the ambition went out of the door with Cortese.

Use some of the warchest we've gathered over the last 3 summers and go and get Benteke.

Another backup right back, exciting.

Yes, more ambition. I see West Ham, Everton and even Palace trying to get to the next level, why aren't we?

Nope, I'm supporting the right club. The club has done very well in the Liebherr era but I'd like to see more ambition.

I'm frustrated that we sell our best players every summer. I'm also frustrated that our manager left for a similar sized club that finished comfortably below us last season.

Delighted for Jose. Legend.

Wouldn't be suprised if Watson is being groomed to be our next manager.

Not ITK but I think it coule be Puel.

I've always rated Robbie Brady. Versatile and a cracking left foot.

Pellegrini. Big name and did well similar sized clubs in Spain.

Just throwing Mark Hughes out there as one that hasn't been mentioned. Personally I'd be happy with any of the options on the shortlist above

LOL. What a bell end.

Someone that won't **** off at the first opportunity after a year or two would be nice. Eddie Howe would be my choice.

I assume Ron's weekly press conference is taking place today?

Nigel Pearson did well for us when we were battling relegation in the Championship. We have moved on.

Yep worth the fee, Longy has been very good this season IMO.
