We’re you in a coma when we flogged Van Dyke for 75mill or something? I seriously doubt Hughes would have taken the job on if he wasn’t given a half decent war chest, the idea that we still have to sell to buy is just nuts.

When an Aberdeen fan says he won’t set the heather alight it’s a bit worrying but hey, hopefully he will prove to be a bargain.

Pretty sure they give more of a stuff about Dorset than Gmina Wasilków.

Sell before we buy are you ****ing serious?! We still have most of the VVD money to spend, how were we planning on buying Promes if we don’t have a **** load of cash?

They have more of an interest than voters in Poland and Germany.

Not ridiculous at all, whatever you views on the British electoral system (I would actually prefer a PR system like the EU) fact is that is the system we have and adding another level above just reduces accountability of the people we elect. Also the main point is that whilst the EU is democratic it’s voted for by the whole of Europe, most of whom don’t have any interest in what’s good for Britain.

It's still risky flogging your best players, whoever makes the decision. You can spend £20-30mill on a player in today's climate and they can still be a failure. The squad needs investment even if we keep Tadic, sell him and we will really be rolling the relegation dice again.

Was still or best player under our current manager and I whilst not perfect I don't have a lot of faith in Reed/Wilson landing a replacement as good.

That's the best thing about VAR - it shows up the incompetent fools for what they are. The dickhead who refereed last night can't hide behind the 'didn't see it' excuse. There will always be wrong decisions regardless of VAR and the quality of ref. VAR has worked well so far IMO, last nights mess was due to FIFA's obsession with picking refs from tin pot leagues around the World who cannot handle it when dumped into the big stage. He didn't have the confidence to trust his own decision above VAR and didn't have the bottle to send off a megastar.

And Labour go missing again.

Nothing wrong with VAR, it doesn't matter how much technology you have if the ref is useless.

Looks like they gave an owner who actually wants to invest. Won’t be long before they are way ahead of us if the current trend continues IMO.

Agree, has got to be worth 20+ in today’s climate. 15 mill is a decent Championship player.

£15 mill is **** all nowadays- I wouldn’t sell for that.

I'm no fan of Trump, it's bizarre that he was even close to being elected yet alone made president. But credit should be given where it's due - it has to be good to hold talks with North Korea. Also ISIS have been taking a beating recently so I guess he should take some credit for that, though there are obviously many other influences in that region. The problem is everyone is so obsessed with the left v right, red v blue ******** they refuse to give anyone for the 'other side' any credit. Hell would freeze over before any Labour nobhead congratulates Trump on anything, likewise as the post above says, if Corbyn had met Kim then there would be absolute uproar by the Tory idiots.

It makes sense to let the attack continue then rule the goal out if offside than stop a perfectly good attack only to find out it should have carried on.

Well that’s typical of today’s Premier League - the big clubs hoovering up any half decent player just to sit on their bench all season.

Good interview but though i’m probably reading too much into it, they do seem to be pushing the idea that our squad doesn’t need much of an overhaul which is a little bit worrying. Hughes has been round the block a bit so surely he wouldn’t have taken it on without a decent sized war chest?

That's always been my main reason for going anyway. We support Southampton - the football part has almost always been sh!t.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Odd that the doc didn’t mention any other symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision or head aches. Only playing football like a w@nker.

That concussion excuse is laughable, they really are sore losers.

All the extra money does is inflate player wages and attract more foreign players. I would much rather see less money, more English players and a more competitive league where teams like Saints stand a decent chance. It would also benefit the national side.

It would be the same for all the others outside the ‘big 6’ so wouldn’t matter one little bit. I think it would be a fantastic league without them in it.

Greedy Yank ****.
