I never said that we aimed for poorer players - I said it sounded like we made it clear to potential signings that we wouldn't be used as a stepping stone anymore and that might have meant our first choices went looking elsewhere. They may have even looked at us holding onto Van Dijk against his wishes and taken that as evidence. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Well then how did you understand It? Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

What Krueger said in the interview about shifting our ambitions with regards to players suggests we only signed players who were ready to commit long term, which players looking for a platform wouldn't want to do. Hence ending up with players who are limited like Carillo, Redmond etc over the last couple of years. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

I like Izquierdo at Brighton. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

What I understand from him talking about a change in ambition and mistakes being made makes me think we tried telling players they would not be allowed to leave if they signed for us unless we wanted to sell them, and therefore we ended up signing a lower quality of player. Hopefully we get back to signing higher quality - the only way to get to a point where we can keep top players is to keep signing them and actually finish closer to the top.

Not now but the summer we sacked him I said I'd be happy to give him another season, unless we were down the bottom halfway through. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Two bad seasons after three very good ones. I don't want Reed to go. Wouldn't really care if Krueger goes. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

If Yoshida is leaving I'd consider Tadic for the captaincy to be honest. It's a myth that he doesn't care/work hard, and he's constantly barking orders at the team. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

None, I cashed out at £514 for a £214 profit. Annoyingly I nearly did before the Bournemouth game because I was sure we were going to win, and it was £904 then. Ah well. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

The only realistic ones i'd be happy with are Wagner and Jokanovic, off the top of my head. Anyone else would either be underwhelming or an unknown quantity and therefore a gamble. Just get someone to set us up to attack for **** sake. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Had he even met the bloke? How did we go from Pelligrino saying that to setting us up the way he did...? Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Wouldn't bonuses and sign on fees (basically a sign on bonus) be exempt from tax? I thought that was a way they got round it all. Or was that image rights? Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

£20million and they can have him, I reckon Butland will be available for around that plus Burnley have two first choice keepers to keep happy. McCarthy has turned our season around undoubtedly, but purely because he is a competent keeper whereas forster is useless, not because McCarthy is a top class keeper.

Really? For me I barely even registered what the result Was, I just know We're staying up. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Maybe it's different when you're actually faced with that much money, but for me £20k a week is already more than I could ever spend and the amounts you mention just all blend into "too much for me to spend", with no distinction between them. I can honestly say I would quite happily stay with saints on as little as £1k a week rather than jumping ship. At the end of it all would I look back and regret not having more digits in my bank account or regret not sticking with the club I love...? ...yes I'm a bit drunk.

I'm trying to erase everything from this season pre Mark Hughes from my memory. It was bad, really bad, and I'm very interested to see who the hell gives him a job next. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Great atmosphere from start to finish today. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

There's still a good player in there, same with Bednarek and Hoedt, but I think we need a strong leader signed in the summer and two of those three loaned out for experience next season. I wouldn't give up on any of them yet. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

He was here for the two seasons before that too, in which we finished 7th and 6th respectively. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Rubbish. He holds the ball up well, passes well, wins the ball in the air far more than a man of his size should...he has plenty to offer when he's not scoring goals. The other two offer nothing when not scoring goals. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

I'm not saying long is enough- I would sell the other two and get two more in. I'm saying that if you look at what they each DO offer the team, then you have to admit that Long is very good at what he does and is an excellent option to have when you are struggling to keep the ball out of your own half. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Trouble we have is that all three of our strikers (I'm ignoring carillo) are lacking in quite essential areas - Austin cannot get on the end of passes unless he has a 5 yard head start, long struggles to finish one on one and Gabbi very rarely does anything unless it's played to his feet in the box. Gabbi did show signs of being able to hold the ball up against Swansea, and Long is always a positive for the team with his ability to win balls in the air, hold the ball up, chase down, run the channels and win free kicks. Honestly if we had to sell them I'd sell Austin, Gabbi and then Long in that order. If we're keeping all three then we need to play two out of them all the time.

Some of our best business has been done towards the end of the window, off the top of my head Mane and Aldeweireld. Go for number one. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

After two years of sh*te coinciding with a new tv deal i'd like to think we'll see a reduction for season ticket renewals. I'm still unlikely to renew, top level football is corrupt and unbalanced. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk
