But what about all the wages we saved on all the outgoing players,? Surely thats enough to cover a couple of much lower standard loans without even touching the 70 odd million

Even though i suggested hernandez a couple of months ago before the departures,i dont think its very likely at all now..lets be honest at the moment we are the laughing stock of the league,you only have to type southampton into twitter to read 50 jokes about us having our squad ripped apart.couple that with the interest from athletico madrid and napoli the chances of convincing him to come here look pretty bleak.

Seems to be some talk of us going for winston reid on twitter. Would be a pretty good signing i think, brave defender who looked west hams best player for me last season

Why is he a muppet? Not exactly exciting links are they ?

Really really think we should move for jordy clasie. Hes said himself how highly he thinks of koeman so why not use this to our advantage?, ok man utd will be a more attractive option but if they dont make a move i see no reason why he would turn down the chance to move to the prem to be reunited with koeman,just like pelle and tadic who were also big eridvisie stars. Some are saying we dont need him as we have cork or he will block ward prouse devolopment, but lets be honest he looks on a much higher level then cork already at a much younger age, and ward prouse needs to earn his game time not just have it put on a plate if hes good enough he will get a chance. Also after seeing how quality clasie looks, it seems a really great compliment to tadic to be talked as the best player in the dutch league, im starting to feel positive again :-)

Wasnt that impressed with depay with the little i saw of him in the world cup, decision making looked poor,although obviously doesnt make him a bad player. Jordie clasie on the other hand i thought looked a talent in his one sub appearence looked comfortable on the ball, and was looking for a killer pass unlike most of the negativity in the dutch squad that night..would love to sign him..the dutch xavi.:-)

Nice bit about Tadic here http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/five-eredivisie-stars-who-could-light-premier-league Especially like this part. Tadić combines the refined passing capabilities of Wesley Sneijder with the bravery and dribbling skills of his fellow former Groningen player, Arjen Robben, and much like the aforementioned in their final seasons in Holland, it looks like Tadić has simply outgrown the Eredivisie.Read more at http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/five-eredivisie-stars-who-could-light-premier-league#CDXqoGzAPc40Ps8M.99

Dont believe this at all, so what your saying is cortese is going to give up his great job of chairman and massive wages of a club he brought up through because all the time he had been fibbing and thought he was going to get found out? . Get real the more likely scenario is big kat wanted to cash in on our talents ,cortese wasnt down with that and left and now its happening anyway. How people keep painting nc as the bad guy is beyond me.

Agree, like gaston ramirez he didnt get a proper run in the side going but you could see the flashes of class.

I think 25 mil for lallana is a rubbish price to be honest, the guy just finished in the top 6 in the pfa awards nominations making him one of the top 6 performers in the prem last year, would the other players go for this price? No chance. Theres also the sell on clause with bournemouth , the fact he was our captain and best player,so why do we feel the need to only accept what liverpool are ready to pay? Why couldnt we have said 60m or f off?

Can we bring back osvaldo to drop the nut on him before he goes :-D

Thomas tuchel sounds like the type of appointment we would make,i like what i read about him,BUT at this moment in time a big name would be a massive statement of intent from the board,we need to know the ambition didnt go out the window when cortese left. A big name like a mancini or possibley ranieri and to a lesser extent koeman would make players like adam think twice about jumping ship and really give the fanbase a lift.

Laudrup would have been my number 1 for the job, plays our type of football so wouldnt miss mp, and unearthed some diamonds in the transfer market like michu, bony,pozuelo.

I actually suggested we get hernandez in return in the luke shaw thread a couple of weeks ago, think it would make it much easier to swallow actually getting some one decent in return instead of penny pinching and buying championship players. Hernandez would be just the ticket,pacy finisher who would probably of hit 20 a season if atarting first choice every week for utd.

Looks to have been brought in as nothing more as a spokesman, the guy sidesteps any real questions, keeps talking about les reed is in charge of this, so and so is in charge of that, it looks to me like he has just been employed by big fat kat to take all the crap while 5 years of work gets destroyed. Tbf i dont think this is Wreck-it-Ralphs fault hes obviously just fat kats puppet and if it had not have been him she would of got someone else to do same thing.

Not just talking about lambert, under nc we were competing in the transfer market for players with spurs and liverpool and was hearing nothing about players leaving. Now its turning into a car boot sale, and 5 years of great work by nc is being destroyed by big kat and wreck-it-Ralph.

How about say no! And hold them to there contract, let them put in transfer requests and stamp there feet. Dont sing the contract if you dont wanna stay. This would have not happened under cortese of that im sure.

Not too bothered about lambert leaving tbh, he was looking sluggish and off the pace last year and needs replacing anyway, we might as well cash out on him before he retires.he gets to play for his childhood club we get a payday for a player whos had his best days,everyones a winner bar liverpool

Yeah thats a good point, although it would give hernandez a chance to be first choice striker not just a bit part sub. I still think bringing in a top striker this season should be a priority rickie was looking far too slow last year, and i hope we dont forget about this issue if having to replace outgoing players.

If we are to let shaw go, i think we should insist on hernandez and money. This would severely soften the blow for me as we would know we were getting a great player in a position we need and not just pocketing or spunking the cash. How would u guys feel towards hernandez and 10 million for shaw

100 percent id have him back, absolutely visionary chairman who took us from rock bottom to dreaming about europe in the space of 5 years.losing him is much worse then losing lallana or shaw.

Cant quite believe how much grief nc gets from the fanbase. Lets not forget it was him that talked marcus into buying the club and he only agreed to this if nc would run it, If nc hadnt had this idea we would probably be slumming it out with pompey. He was a cracking chairman too delivered pretty much everything he promised from the promotions to the southampton way playing style and keeping with the academy approach. Plus every mangerial decision he made worked out and the ambition was rubbing off at everybody involved in the club. All i read on here is him getting trashed all the time and loads of love for big kat who has effectively done nothing bar inheriting a football club she had no part in.
