I don't really get this walk on fire stuff. Sure you can mentally prepare to block out the pain but the body has to react to being burned.

looks at least as good as de Ridder!

Got a strike on him. . . .

Now a link to the Tunisian Sabir Khalifa, seems a tricky winger type who can score a goal or two. Around the 5million mark. http://t.co/ppxCFq3Ltp

Think it's the striker Innocent Emeghara. Only 5ft 7.

Tancredi Palermi claims we have enquirer about him but Lazio are in front for his signature. Yes it's twitter but he is quite on the ball.

Thanks for the good info. Looking forward to getting a peak at what MPs plans are.

Article on why he would be an astute signing.... few comparisons with SRL and JR too. http://www.whoscored.com/Blog/gD6eqblzlU6Ie7Wx569drA/Show/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

The Wallace overhead Vs Liverpool. Nice kit too!

Igsey..... you are a gentleman and a scholar. Many thanks.

No doubt there have been other threads on this and numerous posters will delight in highlighting this fact but what is the best ever Saints goal. On an individual take, I think MLT against Blackburn takes some beating, I just about remember Danny Wallace overhead kick versus Liverpool. Stumbled across this beauty on youtube today. And what a beauty... Don't know how to "embed", only link. Great team goal though.

Confirmed.

Sure ours is more plush but even this old one looks sweet inside.

Think there may be a double signing this week....Weds. Banega and victor!

Most presumptuous on my part but the appearance of Vman may coincide with a forthcoming transfer. Shame there are a few village idiots who seem determined to spoil the forum. Maybe run a poll on who annoys the most and boot out the top 3.

Last season we were pondering what role Hammond and Chappers would play in the new Premier League adventure, while applauding the cheap signing of Davis. This close season we have been courting some of the most sought after players around in Damiao, possibly Osvaldo, Banega, Wanyama. If NC and MP deem £12 million a reasonable deal for Victor then they must have seen something in him and possibly more importantly, the chance to add value on to him. I fail to understand how "supporters" are underwhelmed or vaguely negative about the journey we are on. Several current players, managers and other pundits have applauded how we are going about our business on and off the pitch, yet the doom merchants and antagonists on this forum clearly know better. I love the ambition we are showing and my only concern is in convincing Damiao, etc that SFC is the place to be. I think the football club and the facilities and set up scream yes but the city in general hollers out no!

I did consider this when I read a comment about Damiao (allegedly) sending over somebody to checkout Southampton and the surrounding area. Not sure Southampton as a city has the ability to draw in the major players. Yes there are a few good restaurants, some nice boats, half decent shopping, the New Forest but nothing that could compare with the bright lights of London or Manchester.

Yes but it is a once (maybe twice) in a lifetime opportunity. I would be tempted if I was a Bmouth fan.

What I want is a club that is wiling to spend £10 million plus on players and invest heavily in the academy and improve every aspect of the club (except the stripes!). Its a kit, its for one season, time to move on.

Just seen the new giant poster things on the website and without meaning to sound like a happy clapper...... I like them. Our dream is real = Fair point, seasons ago we dreamt of Premier football and now we are there. Our time is now = Judging by the amount of money being speculated and the players we are linked with, we will soon hopefully be able to confirm that our time is now. Our vision is clear = European football. It may not officially be clear to supporters but NC and MP are selling the dream to the players. Our faith is strong = The players believe in each other. The only place lacking faith is on here after we lose or draw a game.

Sounds promising then. Would love it to be a high profile somebody to make everyone take notice and show other players we are a serious proposition, not merely relegation fodder! Can't see any of the first team going anywhere so will be some of the old promotion crew off, maybe Hammond or Sharp.

I lose track on this forum who is ITK and the who just wants attention! Can't remember which one you are Glasgow Saint. NB. This isn't one of those smug, wind up antagonising questions. Genuinely just wondering how reliable you are as an ITK. Cheers.

I have got no issue with the kit either positive or negative. It is merely a kit. I do find it insulting that Bristol City have the same template and that SFC are going to exploit fan loyalty by selling it for £50! I can't see us being in stripes again for a very, very long time..... while Cortese is here at least. In his eyes, stripes were struggling saints, the new saints play in red..... almost all red! Cant see many fans complaining if he delivers top signings, top half finishes and European football. All of which I think are more likely than stripes!

If the paper reports are true that Milan, Chelsea and Liverpool were interested then he must have something about him. I am excited that we are looking at this sort of player and for this sort of money. No more snaffling round released lists, trying to pick up a freebie. If £10+ million is the going rate for an international defender then it seems wise to spend it on a younger player with the possibility of some resale profit at a later date.
