That looks a good bet to me. Sure, Keoman could be an inspired choice of manager and our kids may prove to be up to the job but there is a fair chance of complete meltdown.

I expect Reed has the power to give the final yes or no but I doubt anyone will be signed who Keoman doesn't want.

If we flog Chambers we know it is asset stripping IMO.

I didn't mean that. I just think that the vultures might be circling because they know we are open to offers - because of a change in our financial situation. A year or so ago Cortese was chucking offers from Liverpool in the bin, now we are apparently powerless to resist anyone.

Exactly so we don't have a clue. Players like Lovren, Osvaldo and Wanyama don't come to Southampton unless they are paid a lot. Also, I don't buy the idea that these big clubs have suddenly become interested in our players. I think there has always been interest, just now they have suddenly become available.

But you don't know how much profit the owners want to make this year.

The new guy said it was a difficult financial position, I tend to believe him over the back of fag packet calculations of people on here.

I very much doubt Koeman would have took the job if there wasn't serious money to invest in the team.

We can only judge after this season. I have a horrible feeling Reed is going to try and just use the young players instead of investing the cash, to try and appear to be the model club (future of English football) and all that crap. The focus should be of staying in the Premier League, it makes no difference to me if it is with a team full of kids or 11 foreign mercenaries brought in for top money. Of course if players like Targett, Reed, Gallagher etc come in and seamlessly replace those who left Reed would have been proved right. Only time will tell. If KL wants to pull £50mill out the club that is totally up to her.

The good news is Reed has signed a contract. The bad news is this is what the club meant by new signings.

Hope it's career ending.

With Lovren gone we are starting to look very weak. In my opinion the minimum we need to sign is a keeper, a left back, at least one centre back and a striker before the season starts.

I doubt the Bournemouth end will sell out.

Some interesting points but weird that they complain about the fog of war yet fail to mention the other evidence, like the rebel's blog saying they had shot down a plane which was then suddenly removed. And the video of the rebels at the fresh crash site sifting through the wreckage saying stuff like "sh!t they are all foreigners". Any investigation should be led by the Dutch and Malaysians to ensure there is no hidden agendas.

Don't think he is better than Boruc, derisory is as high as I would go.

Well done, I'm proud of you for that. It looks like you may be learning something - you actually looked at the evidence and made some sort of rational judgement based on it. Has to be a first.

If anything the fact that the Ukraine government are using aircraft to bomb makes it more likely that the Russian Separatists were targeting aircraft and shot MH17 down by mistake.

Paranoid as well as delusional, think you need help mate. As you the points you made on this thread. If any of the qualified airline pilots on here think that MH17's flight path is cause for suspicion I would take their opinion seriously but me commenting on your uninformed opinion is pointless. Every airline pilot and air traffic controller in the World is free to comment on the flightpath in the media, if there was anything suspicious about it we would have heard over and over again.

I'm just putting your posts into some context. You don't look at the evidence and make rational judgements, you have some agenda inspired conspiracy in your head (usually anti American/Israeli) from the start and desperately try and twist facts to suit.

Oh no, the good news didn't last long. Instead of hanging up his boots as well it looks like the fat scouser is going to replace Gerrard as captain… http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28413295

You thought the Lee Rigby murder was an elaborate false flag operation carried out by the UK government, despite the fact that the guys were seen doing it, filmed doing it and admitted doing it on camera whilst covered in blood holding a meat cleaver.

There must be someone better than Liverpool after him, I would rather flog him somewhere else for less than sell him to them c*nts.

Humans are right w@nkers when you think about it.

Hasn't shown his club form often enough for England and was sh!t in Brazil.
