Saint Garrett

Who is complaining ?

Think it said somewhere that he is available for 8m euros and he's pretty awesome. Is mentioned in the transfer thread.

Is he the fella from Everton ?

No surprise though as we were obviously going to be on the back foot. Lallana isn't disciplined enough to play CM and with JWP only being 17, I wouldn't want to rely on him despite him being very impressive. Cant see Hammond or Chaplow getting much of a game and also wouldnt be surprised if atleast one of them went before the end of the transfer window.

I agree, however a lot of people on the Wigan thread are suggesting we should go 4-4-2.

What is the best for our potential squad come September 1st. Everyone is saying go 4-4-2 at home against the lesser teams, but could be argued that 4-2-3-1 is actually more attacking. Wouldn't be complaining if by the end of the transfer window we are playing this every week home or away. Which do you think is more attacking? -------------Davis------------- Clyne, Jose(new?), Jos, Fox (new?) ------Morgan------Davis------- Ramirez------Lallana------Phillips ------------Lambert----------- -------------Davis------------- Clyne, Jose(new?), Jos, Fox (new?) Ramirez---Morgan-Davis---Lallana ---------J-Rod----Lambert------- Will Lallana now play on the left in a 4-4-2? I personally think that the 4-2-3-1 suits us better as long as we get the new players in. It also suits the style of football that we play as the front 4 can all rotate and is incredibly fluid.

Lawro calling Silva's penalty last night 'minging'.....made me lol.

Talking of stuff for Iphone...Does anyone have the link to Iphone fixtures calander ? It was put up on here somewhere ages ago.

Saw that this morning, he's such a budgie. I read this morning it will be 4 year deal worth 10m euros. That works out at about £38k/week (unless I've done the calculations wrong !

Who is Preben Walle? And very encouraging that it says 'now at Southampton'

Depends whether we rather would pay it in installments or can we only afford to pay it in installments. I would have thought we have access to funds but the chairman wants to run the club as a business to break even so wants to allocate the losses against the income we'd receive.

Sure we're looking at potential CB's from Italy as well

Ramirez 12m Butland 10m at a minimum. Phillips 6m, 'class' CB 6/7/8m? Lot of money and can't see it. Could see Ramirez Phillips and a CB though

'our people' expect him to sign very soon basically. He didn't think hit woul happen before but there has been a major breakthrough and he's now expected to sign for us.

Davis will be fine this season. I don't know what you're worrying about, he wasn't that bad yesterday. Admitably he had a few shaky moments but it was a big moment. He's more than capable to do a job, and I really dont want us to go and sign Butland for £18m ridiculous money.

But that is what we used to do. Buy 3 or 4 players who arent good enough on the cheap, fill the squad with average players and then not had the quality to compete. Plus transfer fees seem to have gone through the roof recently anyway. something like £4m gets you a godo player in the NPC or one who is on the decline. £12m gets you one of the biggest young talents in europe with a potential huge sell on fee. I couldn't be more excited about this lad, will be a huge statement of intent and turn a few heads.

We're not going to sign another keeper. HTH

Still a tad worried with us not bein linked with any CB's seems odd

James Nursey ‏@JamesNursey Up to 8 Prem clubs including #SaintsFC like Anderlecht midfielder Lucas Biglia. Player v keen to come to PL. Would be a top signing.

Until Shaw goes to a 'big club' he won't get in ahead of Bertrand. Just the way it is.

Davis Clyne Jos Jose Fox Schneiderlin Davis Ramirez Lallana Phillips Lambert

Maybe just pass on a 30% sell on fee?

I would guess people originally booed him, then they clapped him when he got stretchered off. They're a bunch I tossers on that forum anyway, acting like they have a god given right to win very game and very reluctant to praise us, and a few of them saying we look like we'll go down. How can they say that when we pretty much matched them all game?!

Lol at all the bedwetters on this thread. Christ this is the most relaxed I've been watching saints for ages. No we're no going to win but it will be a good learning curve for a few of our players. Nothin to lose. Just embrace the fact we're playin against the champion on England rather than plymouth ffs

No shock to me that Lambert isn't playing. Looked way off the pace in pre season to me.
