Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain?

.....and I totally agree with you. It's just that when Semmens and co continually state that Gao doesn't put any money into the club, he also doesn't take any out. The club is self-sustaining. To hear these unbased accusations (not just from you) all the time is annoying.

I believe that the ticket office was only open a couple of days a week during lock-down. Not sure what the staffing situation was. The situation regarding crowds back into grounds has been a bit fluid until recently, so I am not sure that the situation has been quite as simple as you highly jocular post would make out. As long as my ST arrives before Sunday I will be happy....or I could just find something else to moan about...

Too old....

We probably got Vauxh-all chance of signing him....

Depends if we can af-Ford him...

So getting results against "Top 6" clubs, something that he haven't done for a long time, counts for nothing? It all about "those" two games?

Also no "one on ones" with the goalkeeper...apparently...

At the Solent Forum RH said that he was looking for a top 10 finish.

Dave Watson, John McGrath.....

I suppose that it depends on who you believe. Having been to some of the Fans Forums at SMS and listening to the Solent one, I believe and trust Semmens and Co when he says that Gao doesn't interfere and leaves them alone to run the club and that all transfer monies are ploughed back into the business. You may believe something different of course...

What known facts?

Semmens has said numerous times that while Gao doesn't put money into the club, he doesn't take money out and that all transfer fees are ploughed back into the club as it is self-sustaining.

Not sure if this has been posted before. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/southampton-rainbow-kit-premier-league-24725613

What was it Matthew Harding called us? Chelsea-on-Sea?

Would prefer somebody from abroad. Armstrong is untried in the Prem.....or something...

Doesn't the fact that during the same period we started getting results against the Top 6 count for anything? Something that we hadn't done for a few seasons? Is it just the negative that you get off on?

Who decent is going to want to come into a club with our squad and no money? Be very careful what you wish for.....

By saving a buck or two?

But he is unproven in the Prem...and he is too short.

I am less worried about the GK situation if the defence has been significantly tightened up. If a GK has a defence in front of him that he has confidence in it must help his performance.

Not sure why a prolific scorer from the Championship can't be "promising". Does being from Europe make them naturally better than Championship players? What if the promising player from the Championship is European? At least a player from the Championship would already be used to living in this country and would presumably be used to the language etc,
