Saint Garrett

If I'm going to do well, I need Southampton to have a good season! And some ex-saints!

Christ....Fox is twice the player that Harding is.

The thing with the seasons while we've been out of the prem, is that you've been able to get tickets on demand. You didnt need a ST to guarentee tickets apart from maybe 2/3 away games at the end of the season.Quite often I decided on the Friday that I was just going to jump on a train and go to away games and im sure plenty others did the same thing.

Can we sticky this please MODS ?

It is not a disappointing number at all. They'll only be a walk up of about 5k tickets per game. Thats superb, how can you possibly take a negative out of this? Unless we're losing evrey game at home, we should sell out the majority of games.

He done a job in L1, tries hard. However he's constantly out of position and never looks comfortable on that ball. Best of luck to him but I'm glad he won't be playing for us this season. Will do a job at Forest as long as they have a decent LCB and LM to cover for him.

John Guidetti has been linked with some other lower prem teams today on a loan move. CHDAJFU?

He's a trier I'll give him that. Still think Dickson was better than him though.

This. He's not very good.

I can't see us bringing in another striker when we have Lambert, J-Rod, Sharp, Lee, and then Lallana, Guly, De Ridder who can also do a job there. Much more likely to bring in a pacy wide man who can play up front as well.

Striker isn't a position we need to strengthen...we need defenders!!

Wouldnt surprise me QPR buying someone else on horrendous wages...Portsmouth thought this was a good idea a few years ago...

It's not yet been the 'innovative' system which they stated. Been pretty poor so far, lets hope the issues get ironed out after ST sales stop.

Berbatov is class. He'll be a bargain for someone this summer, his touch is incredible.

The 'best wishes' started on page 2....

David Sullivan's son put it on his twitter that his dad was making a 'deal which is twice as big as anything the club has ever done before'

You're not doing too well with this whole forum thing are you... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?39184-Dan-Harding-to-Forest-Confirmed

Where did you get that from? 'Apparently' according to who?

Carroll has the worst touch in the prem. I would be reluctant for us to be paying him £90k a week and a 2m loan fee.

Bought mine about 3 weeks ago....emailed them at the weekend and just got the response that it's currently in the post. As long as it's here by the start of the season I'm not bothered.

Would be a decent signing for them and would fit in to how they play. I read they'll be paying 2m + 100% of his wages, then have the option to buy for 17m at the end of the season. Not sure it will happen though, and wouldnt be too happy if I was a WHU fan. Definitely know how they're going to be setting out this season. "You used to play football..."

If WHU play Carrol in every game, he'll get enough deliverys into the box to get his head on. He's awful with his feet and he is very predictable, but he will still get goals from free kicks/corners/long balls into the box which WHU will look to do at every opportunity.

Well I'd say we started like this.... -----------Davis Clyne - Fonte- Jos - Fox -------Schneiderlin-------- -------Ward-Prowse------ Guly----Lallana---Rodriguez ---------Lambert---------- Schneiderlin was sitting just in front of the back four with JWP with him in the centre but given a bit more room to go chasing/closing down, and also giving Morgan that bit of space to control the game. Then Lallana in front of that in a pretty much free role, with Rodriguez and Guly on either side playing relatively narrow, and then Lambert on his own up front. Will be the way to play to close games out or when we play not to lose but I think we need to go 2 up top some games when we need to take games to the other team, or you run the risk of starting the game being over loaded. Think JWP did a fantastic job in the middle on Saturday though.

Supposed to have had a 7m euro bid rejected for him over the weekend for those who havent read the HCDAJFU thread. Big uncompromising CB who plays for Rennes. Apparently AC Milan are also interested and he favours a move there.

Davis/Morgan will be our first choice CM I think, with maybe Cork playing if we play with 3 CM. JWP's job to push them out IMO but he looks more than capable. Was hugely impressed by him on Saturday.
