Think if we go for him it'll be at the expense of Spider-Man

Victor Moses, Foster, Tadier (if that's how it's spelt?)

Where did you hear/read that? I know a fair few villa fans and watched them a de times last year and he was one of the better players!! They're all disappointed he didn't come back

Was on my wish list at the start of the window :-) Surprised people are ****ed at this? It's a solid signing, a player with Premier League and Champions League experience

To be fair, although I understand your criticism of the "damned if they do, damned if they don't" mentality of allot of members. I think what those members are alluding to with their frustration is more to do with the way it's been handled by the board. Yes they wanted them to put their foot down and say enough is enough but it's been handled terribly & the reaction from Morgan highlights that. Today's media offensive by SFC is very reactionary to the hysteria of the chambers transfer, 3 interviews with Kruger, a summarisation of those interviews on the official website & the leak to ssn that we're close to signing 3 players. It suggests they completely underestimated the reaction of the fanbase which is worrying. Subsequently we then have Morgans tweet, a player who wasn't expecting to leave doesn't make those comments so he's clearly been promised a move and it's been pulled from under him and he's voiced his frustration. It's been a PR disaster and while we're all glad the board have made a stand, this situation that's developed over the last week was preventable had we managed the situation better.

It has been, by the bored & them seemingly putting their foot down.

Yep, if you sign a contract you cant be disillusioned when you're held to that contract even against your will. Its massively important for Saints to hold their nerve for now, even if after we sign 3-4 players we eventually let him get his own way. We cant be seen to potential signings to be making false promises in public

Poor from both the club & the player to be honest Club/Player communication is obviously poor Player Professionalism is Obviously poor A **** situation for the whole of SFC. The bored need to take responsibility for setting a president that they've since gone back on. Fans need to understand, clearly, that the power is with the players. This shows how ****ing **** modern football is.

right questions from the interviewer

I Love football absolutely love it I’ve played Hampshire league\Southampton League football every season for the last 16 years, I managed a team for the last 3 seasons. I’ve won a few leagues, got to a few cup finals & my last game as a player/manager came in May at a Hampshire cup final. I’ve subsequently “retired” to spend time with my young family. I wouldn’t call myself an armchair fan as I’d like to think, although at an amateur level I’ve still been involved in association football for 16 years at a reasonable level & I understand what it’s like dealing with 16-20 individuals & their personalities. I’d like to think I have a better tactical understanding than those that haven’t played the game at a competitive level. I’d also hope I have an eye for a player, especially understanding how important partnerships are & how important an “unfashionable” player can be when it comes to the balance of a side. I was really looking forward to enjoying the new premier league season, I’ve not really had the opportunity to listen to games on the radio or attend Saturday afternoon games or watch soccer Saturday on a Saturday afternoon as I’ve always been out playing or managing. However I have never ever been as disillusioned with football as I am now. This is supposed to be the best league in the world, yet it’s a league where financial fair play does more to create a monopoly for the top clubs than it does to actually create a level playing field. A league where football clubs have become rich commodities for the super rich, it’s just business to them, nothing more than business. The purity of the game that I’ve been so in love with at grassroots level over the last 16 years is simply non-existent at the top level. Why hire a good coach when he’ll be poached by a wealthier club, why invest in youth when the best players move to the bigger clubs? That’s not sportsmanship, that’s not ethical in a sporting sense. Why invest any time in improving your club as a sporting entity when the commercially rich clubs will just swop and purchase all your hard work or worse still the owners will sell to satisfy business needs. I honestly think I’ll stick with grass roots, watch some amateur games & lower league football. Its more honest, its pure, its not corrupt, its not business… its just sport and that’s what I like… sport

Think I was about 14-15 when Egil was playing. Remember nearly crying one summer when I read Newcastle were interested in signing him.

They signed Rickie Lambert before they sold Suarez... he must be his replacement

Unless Chambers has asked to leave of course £16 million is allot for a player who hasn't played much first team football at all & is still 2nd choice. I think the board probably have blinked at the fee because realistically he's probably only worth at most 7-8 million & while he has shown great potential, it's still only potential & he may never progress. Each transfer should be judged in isolation which is hard to do when the overall picture is looking pretty grim at the moment (though I think it will improve) If Chambers was the only player to leave this summer at £16million we'd be saying what good business it was.

£130k a week, crazy money. If Chelsea cant afford to pay it then we don't have a chance. Rickie must be upwards of 70k at Liverpool and we know Lallana is on 100k, Lovern will be on the same. People can blame the board all they want, but we SIMPLY CAN NOT afford to pay this kind of money & players heads will be turned

From 3:45 "We know the players, we will have new player in that position, because we need 2 good ones, with marcos, with target we have one & we're looking for the other one" Pretty sure "we know the players" "We will have new players" "with Marcos" all but confirms Rojo :-)

I really can't see Lallana doing well for Liverpool, I think both he & Lambert will be fringe players. I think Lovern will establish himself though

Which is why I think (if he is sold) we accepted the fee, it's also a risk on our part to turn down that kind of money for a position we aren't struggling with. Cork can play right back too if required & again we don't know if he'll fulfil that potential. We don't know whats going on behind the scenes, whether we need money to facilitate incoming transfers. We can only really judge when the window closes, I like chambers though & will be sorry to see him leave.

All my non supporting Mates are laughing more at the prices paid than the amount of players sold

He's krocked ;-) we got out at the right time!

We can only really assess at the end of the transfer window, players may have to leave to facilitate the fees of those coming in. The order things are done are not important its the end result, I'll hold the board accountable if at the end of August we haven't replaced any or all of the players. Until then you just got to go with the flow.

£16 Million is a ridiculous fee for a Second Choice right back. I will be disappointed if he leaves, thought he'd progress to be a decent Center Back.

From what I have seen of Pelle he looks a marked improvement on Lambert. Very Similar in style but more effective, great support play but has the pace to join the attacks, very Mobile. I Like him, Targett looks good too. Isgroves working hard and took his goal well. Centre backs worry me a little, but I think its Inevitable we'll strengthen there. I'd bring in 2 CBs, another striker, a winger, a left back & a goalkeeper
