Shows that our transfer activity really wasn't that bad. And people saying they would take 6m for Lambert and wouldn't cost that much to replace him. Fact is players are f*cking expensive to buy these days.

Bit different when they have played in the prem most of their career and are in their peak, rather than new to the league. You can judge someone on a short term basis if thats the case, but if they are young and showing potential, surely it's better to look at a long term benefit!? Fact is, if you buy a player who is in their prime in the prem then you pay them £50/60k a week and a relatively big transfer fee. Our recruitment policy was looking for player who may not be as good now, but are likely to be better in a few years time. Low wages, and value increased. Patience is needed.

No as the club had never seen him play, he joined for nothing after and clearly didnt impress on the training field. I'm not saying Mayuka is a good signing...in fact see my 'Mayuka/Forren' thread. But he's shown enough to get a fransfer to us and not on the cheap. Also changed the game vs Spurs and looked bright plenty of other times.

Think we'll win. 2-1

Lee is ****e. I never said he was any good. Mayuka who knows. Looked impressive when he's had a chance. Offers us something different to what we have. Surprised he's played so little but to write him off is ridiculous. He's made one start and what, 3 sub apps?!?

To write off Mayuka and Forren already is just moronic. And I'd put Jrod in 'successful first teamers'. Probably been out best player under Poche

Because to a lot of people who live locally, Southampton Football Club is their life or atleast a big part of it. If it wasn't then people wouldn't pay stupid money to go see their side.

Can't imagine what it would have been like on here if our transfers had actually been as bad as some bed wetters are making out to be. Could be worse. Could have brought in pogregnybk Guthrie Gunter marriapa and mccleary....!!!

Well reading through this thread alone, I'm clearly not alone in my opinions. However it gives you something to do on a Wednesday evening.

I read pretty much every thread on here. It's called being single, a bit sad, and having Tapatalk on my phone. I wasn't particularly expecting anything, apart from some differing but well thought out opinions. I come on here to talk about saints and occasionally have a look on the muppet show for a laugh. If I'm on the saints forum, I don't expect some moronic threads. (Despite being a member for years!)

How? This thread isn't anything do do with the moronic OP.

Majority of the time this is perfectly fine. I enjoy discussing my football club with other saints fans. But some ppl on here just ram their opinions down your throat. People like dell days is a negative poster, but atleast you can have decent discussion with him. And he appreciates other people's opinion. These are bellend saints fans or people come on here to just **** people off

How about we just give a few posters there own forum to write on. Then I wouldn't have to sift through so many dreadful posrs

Top post.

I was -6 in '83...

I'm all for discussions and differing opinions, but when it's just obvious trolling its just annoying. No need for it. If you have to say such negative things about Southampton, why bother supporting us? You make Alpine look like a half full kind of guy!

110persaint and Barry Sanchez are ruining this forum. Only so long that decent posters will put up with it.

He's worth a lot more to us than 6m despite it being a decent amount. He's cost much more than that to replace. So no thanks.

Lee - sh!t Maya - Bargain Clyne - Bargain Davis - Bargain J-Rod - A bit over priced but looks very promising Gaston - Overpriced but glimpses of class - Next season will be huge for him Gazza - promising and very young but not convincing. Needs to put some work in and maybe next season on loan Mayuka - Looked lively when I've seen him but pretty much a waste of 4m as hes not played Boruc - Class Forren - Very odd signing.

Seems to be very similar to the start of the season. Playing well but not getting resutls.

Think it was because the next round of the champs league is on the following week, therefore they couldn't play Monday night and midweek. Whereas they can play sat lunchtime and midweek. So the Manchester derby is now Monday night with ours sat lunchtime....(I think)

12:45 Saturday 6th April I think...

This. Lee is crap. It was odd enough that because he was injured a lot last year then suddenly he'd be amazing in the prem. now as he has gone on loan to a very poor level, he's someone we're missing?!? Crazy.
