Saint Without a Halo

About time we were Champions then!

At least he is midfielder that shoots! we havn't had too many of them given our centre backs out score our midfield

2nd half underway

goal for saints

All you had to do in the 70's/80's was agree to pay them a bit more than they were already on! there was hardly any TV money and commercial income was minimal, so clubs virtually ran on gate income! the bigger clubs had more staff and players so you could all afford to shell out top wack on one or two specials.

A full 220k in early 1974 just a couple of weeks before we were relegated (despite winning 3-0 at Everton in our last game with Osgood scoring too)

Charlie George, Peter Osgood, Chris Nicholl, Dave Watson, Mark Wright, Augustin Delgado,Ted Macdougall, Mark Hughes, Jimmy Case Alan Ball, Peter Shilton, David Armstrong Frank Worthington as well as Keegan all had a certain WOW factor and most were or became full Internationals! But Keegan was the biggest WoW a world superstar at his peak!

http://blogs.bettor.com/It-will-take-a-very-good-offer-to-sign-Jeremain-Lens,-claims-agent-a173142 If we wait a little while the Euro will be worth peanuts and we can get him for a song by paying Sterling or maybe pay more in installments to be cheaper in pounds?

Yes remember when we signed Fonte from Palace no one could understand why he wanted to go to a so called smaller club and now we are signing Clyne in the same way the larger clubs used to do to our best players!

The only problem with all this is unleass you are a part of the Saints team negotiating our tranfers nobody has the foggiest idea as to whether we are hours, days, weeks or months away from closing out our targets. Anything else is pure speculation!

and your conclusion was?

I think it was when they wore Grey and couldn't see each other changing to Black at HT but it didnt help them much!

This!

The likes of Holmes, Moran and Williams coped very well in the top division after promotion who says the likes of Rodriguez, Lallana, Cork and Morgan won't do the same? A good experienced centre Back and Keeper would help but I am pretty confident we can do all right with what we have. We went down with a team of full of experienced Journeymen and I would much rather have our current team made up of a lot of talented younger players at the outset of their careers looking to prove their potential. They will be hungry up for it and I think will do all right.

No I am not

17th! now just where did we hear that before?

seemed sensible to me all offers these days in other industries have a validity period and it is good for the pressure to arrive at a deal to be two sided!

If its at the Nuffield it is in the University of Southampton grounds not Solent!

Cant we be 17th! Then we could avoid relegation given the 20 team top division and Dalek would be right even if one season out on his forecast!

Thats right!

translates for me as Alexander Büttner'm not sure if the exhibition game on Saturday with the Batavians (6-0) will be the last for him in the shirt of Vitesse. The Arnhem club recently reached an agreement with Southampton about a transfer of the winger, but there is no question of a personal contract with the club in the English Premier League. "At the moment this is not my last game for Vitesse. The clubs are agreed, only I have not. My agent loves to deal with that, and until then I'm still just in Arnhem," said the winger on the official website of the Arnhem club. Büttner missed a penalty in the game against the amateurs. The defender played 45 minutes, after the break he was replaced by Anderson Still looks promising then!

As a skillful individual yes but as part of a team no way!

Alan Ball yes please an Eyal Berkovic please god no!

Thanks for sharing the rumour!

merge QPR with Millwall and it could be White City merged with Elephant and Castle
