Snap. I thought he looked like the only one who might make something happen upfront. That's probably why he was taken off

I think that would have been a tiny minority. Every Saints fans that I know was very sorry to see him go and felt at the time that a big mistake had been made when the only backups were an unknown kid (Lavia) and a poor Diallo.

Nailed it MOG. A silky player at his best and one of the few, if only players who was always looking forward and playing on the front foot. There was also that freaky record he held where Saints hadn't one a game without him playing for about 2 years. Unfortunately, he didnt seem to fully return to his best form after he caught COVID.

With the occasional exception Southampton, rarely seem to strike gold with players of "French" origin. They often seem to have talent and skills but equally often don't seem to have the heart or passion for the English leagues. Although, personally I do like Perraud

Personally, I'm very pleased that he is leaving. Occasionally, there seemed to be a player there, but generally he would leave me tearing my hair out as he passed the ball to the opposition or was robbed in possession.

Done. Good luck

I really don't get the low rating for Perraud. He always gave 100% in every match I watched, he scored some important goals and made few mistakes unlike the rest of the defence. He's not a world beater but I don't think anyone expected that when he signed.

But, that shouldn’t have come as a surprise. We should have had a plan B, surely?

Oriel Romeu 😁

He should be very good, he’s had enough time to play ….

Fight !

Good point

Nah, wet fannies are useful

Excellent work

Aren't they waiting to see what style Manchester City are going to play next season?

Lavia or JWP. Nobody else deserves a mention.

Nailed it C B

That will do nicely, thanks. He will probably injure himself on the flight over.

Delap has scored 4 goals in 38 matches in the championship? What makes you suggest him based on those returns?

He might score, if we actually played him.

Ricky Lambert wasn’t when we were in League 1

Not a bad shout that.

Selles is already up there

Brilliant

If you intentionally set out to completely bankrupt a club it would go something like this ......... 1) Spend millions on kids that have no PL experience. Tick 2) Let your most experienced central Midfielder leave, for peanuts, and replace him with an 18 year old. Tick. 3) Give your goalkeeper a long expensive contract and then replace him with a 19 year old who plays in League 1. Tick 4) Realise that your main team issue is that you don't have a striker and then not sign one Tick. 5) Having made dreadful transfer decisions, blame the manager and sack him. Tick. 6) Appoint a new manager who hasn't managed in the premiership before and who has a mental disorder. Tick 7) Buy expensive strikers in the January window to suit mental disorders style of play and then sack him. Tick. The coup de grace, just in case the previous derelictions weren't actually enough, appoint the bag carrier for the original manager who has never actually managed and then tell him he is now the manager and has to keep us up. Tick. 9) Finally, sitting at the foot of the league, needing wins to survive pick a team without any strikers including the expensive strikers bought in January. Tick So Sports Republic, mission accomplished, Fucking genius. Fuckin wankers
