In much the same way Koeman was settled doing a good job. Everyone has ambition to advance.

Howes failings have been identifying top level signings - our scouting network and reduced managerial responsibility in that area should free him up to shine. Really hope we make him an offer he can't refuse.

Have to admit, I'm curious to see who the media department have decided to cast as the villain...having someone from Liverpool portrayed as a thief probably wouldn't go down to well with them!

Well I would have supported him another season but not massively disappointed. Only reason for us to wait so long is because we've actually got someone lined up now...

I didn't explain myself well - the video is definitely for the kit, I just don't think the shirt the characters in it are wearing is meant to resemble it.

Lack of capital? Plus the two locations - ground and waterfront development - would increase each others revenue if closely linked.

I think that video isn't meant to tease the kit...it's a little strange in all honesty, I didn't know what it was and thought we were launching a Southampton FC childrens superhero cartoon.

If the partners are single, crack on. If the partners are with someone else, the girls are slappers and the blokes are c*nts, not lads.

Nope, but then you wouldn't judge a players season long performance from the first 12 games of the season, so lets not judge his performance for us as a whole based on just one season.

Mental. We'd cum in our pants if we signed the player with the 4th most assists in the Prem over the last 3 seasons, but we can't - because he already plays for us.

A footballers past always skews his current value. Even if he has a mediocre season next season, he'll still be worth upwards of £30million.

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that he was ringing and messaging her non-stop the day after a p*ss up, 1. He would have been hanging out his arse and 2. He would have realised what a munter she was and what a lucky escape he'd had.

Fair play to Bianca Austin, that facebook review of "rissy" (wtf kind of name is that) was brilliant.

That is mental. Him and Tadic moved to this country in the same summer - as pointed out above, in that time Tadic has the fourth highest amount of assists. What has Markovic done since then?

Get tae f*ck, there is absolutely no way.

Schneiderlin didn't leave under a cloud and nothing about Lovren came from Saints. Lallana acted like a c*nt, Fonte got greedy and Koeman was just a case of us not wanting to go into the last year of his contract without him committing for longer.

Blimey this has exploded, anyone able to give a summary for someone who has missed all the developments today?

You have to be all kinds of stupid to switch from UKIP to Labour, so much for wanting UK Independence [emoji23]

Cheers. I hope for once everything goes our way. Imagine a summer where we keep Van Dijk and Liverpool get a transfer ban thanks to us. I don't think i'd ever stop laughing.

Where is that from mate?

Maybe we just won't sell him then?

I'd take £25million or more and reinvest it elsewhere, I think McQueen is good enough and Targett is able backup. (Not as good as Bertrand, but not such a downgrade that we'd miss him - and if that money helps us keep Van Dijk then crack on).

The article is full of it. Click on the sources for those stories.

The only player we've complained about before was someone who wasn't even ours. That was due to a breach of contract and nothing came of it because we dropped it ourselves and just tried to match Spurs bid at the eleventh hour. I don't see how anyone can say we're trying to save face when what's coming from our end is that we're more determined than ever to keep him...if we go back on that now we look right mugs.

If this mirror article is correct then there should be nowhere to hide for Liverpool. The authorities need to show some backbone here, although as it's "only" at our expense it wouldn't surprise me if it goes largely ignored. Imagine if this was a United player being tapped up by Liverpool...
