And some are doing the opposite and writing them off before they have played a league game!

Are you going to write off Elyounoussi and Armstrong already then before the season starts? One creative player out, two hopefully creative players in... gives us one more than last season. Let's see how they do before claiming disaster!

Yes Who?

A loaned player is not your player... you are developing him for another club. How many recent examples can you think of that?

Two = "some" which is what I said Also why would you not include Reed & Rose?

Do you disagree that the performances improved significantly? You also appear to be overlooking 3 out of Hughes 8 league games were vs Chelsea, Arsenal & Man City. Saints may have lost all three, but ran them all close and was a lot better I'd argue than Pellegrino would have done.

[video=youtube;66-BT930evI] New features revealed in September FM19 is released 2nd November 2018 For the first time since 2004, no "manager man" on the box cover art!

What type of players would we need to sign this summer for that not to be a concern?

Saints have not for quite a few years helped other clubs develop their players. It doesn't benefit us long term.

That is a daft idea, why would he be annoyed at moving from Southampton to Arsenal? He was more than likely delighted to do so and if he really didn't want to go no-one was holding a gun to his head forcing him to sign a contract.

Using 3 at the back kept us up at the back end of last season. Performances improved significantly changing to that system, having looked doomed to relegation under Pellegrino. Daft to write it off on the basis of meaningless friendless... let's see how we do on Sunday.

You have included some that are too young to be named in the 25 man list.

The reliability of the journalist and article is put into question when he makes factual errors like...

They didn't start with many first choice players... Burnley FC‏Verified account @BurnleyOfficial 6h6 hours agoMore Burnley side to face Espanyol; Legzdins, Bardsley, Dunne, Long, Taylor, Hendrick, O’Neill, McNeil, Walters, Wells, Agyei.

Loans are not free. You need to pay loan fees and wages.

For it to be a mess it needs to be compared to previous success... something Reed was partly responsible for. So if you blame him now... why refuse to praise him for previous good work?

We were terrible with 4 at the back last season under Pellegrino until Hughes changed to a 3 centre back system.

If you mean me... then you are wrong. I have never attended a fans forum, they are pointless. Crab Lungs summed them up well...

Because that runs the risk of Gunn signing for another club. Signing Gunn before Forster has left is not a "shambles", the "shambles" was giving Forster a contract until 2022.

1) What exactly is a "corner shop mentality"? 2) What other types of financial mentalities are there? 3) Which is the best financial mentality and why?

What makes you think that? Where to and when?

Do we? I think Targett showed last night he is capable of performing that role, plus the club appears to have converted Reed to right wing-back.

Care to tell us why? Because Plymouth made the list last time, so why not Saints this time?
