:mcinnes: You are all jumping to conclusions to make the leap from injuries to players = medical staff have done something wrong That is an extremely flawed way to look at it, you'd need to look at each injury individually and none of us have enough information to make such a judgement. It is possible for players to be injured through no fault of their own or the club's medical staff.

Not really, we have 4 or 5 (depending how you view Austin)... van Dijk Gabbiadini Targett McCarthy Austin Pied is in training with the rest of the 1st team so doesn't count and Austin is in training as well.

Sweetcorn? LOL. Hi Hypo. So tell us, if that is what the Koran says, why aren't the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, including your wife and family, out killing all of us infidels? Because people in all religions cherrypick the bits they like from their religion and conveniently ignore the bits they don't like.

Nonsense, yes he is. Plus this... What evidence do you have to suggest that when Puel says Austin will be back playing in 3 weeks, for you to consider him to be lying?

As an attacking option from the bench, I think Sims is more likely tomorrow than Seager. Long starting upfront, Ward-Prowse, Redmond & Tadic as the three behind in the 4-2-3-1 and Rodriguez, Boufal & Sims as attacking options on the bench.

Because Sky didn't listen to the way Puel worded it. Puel : "We will see if he comes back before the end of the season" SSN BREAKING NEWS: van Dijk out for rest of season

Sky clearly didn't listen to the way Puel worded it.

The Echo article was published at 1am Tuesday, your post was at 11:10am Tuesday.

He relatively recently mentioned it in the press.

How does he meet the criteria of the question? Dyer wasn't released as a kid in the academy "thinking they wouldn't make the grade", Saints sold him during the admin period when he was 21 years old to raise cash.

Why is it a "**** take"? It actually makes no difference to existing season ticket holders, their price is frozen at last year's prices. They are frozen at last season's renewal price. So it is now significantly cheaper to become a new season ticket holder, which may help attract more.

We didn't have either Austin or Gabbiadini when a Claude Puel team put 3 past them in December.

The article acknowledges the club is currently Swiss owned and not English owned. I would imagine their point is that it is remaining foreign owned in any new transaction. It is a rather pointless article, but what cellone has picked them up on isn't really the case, they state in the article we are Swiss and not English owned.

Wouldn't a link to the article in question have been useful? http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/783927/Exclusive-Foreign-invasion-English-Premier-League-Southampton-News-Gossip I'm not sure why it is labelled an "exclusive", but I don't see what about Saints in that article is incorrect. It acknowledges that Saints are currently Swiss owned and says another foreign owner may buy them. So what is your issue exactly?

Dennis Wise Gareth Southgate Kevin Phillips Were all let go as kids by Saints.

You two didn't read/understand what I said. In a 4-2-3-1 the "2" (Romeu and Davis) aren't DMs, they are CMs. In Puel's 4-3-3 one of the midfield 3 (Romeu) is a DM and the other two of the three are CMs. What I said stands, Steven Davis has never played as a DM for Saints. He has been a CM, AM and wide player. Never has he been used as the sitter (DM).

Not sure why people keep using DM with Davis. In his 5 years at the club I can't think of a single game where Davis as played as a DM. He has been a CM, AM or out wide, never a DM. A DM is someone who sits just in front of the defence, like Romeu did in the 4-3-3 we used under Puel. - In the current 4-2-3-1, Davis is used as a CM, Tadic is an AM - In the 4-3-3 under Puel earlier in the season, Davis was used as a CM alongside one of Clasie/Ward-Prowse/Hojbjerg and Romeu was the DM

150/1 on SkyBet for 6-0 to Saints.

Michael Eisner has revealed his first plans for the club's future involve a change to the badge...

Why? We beat them at Dean Court quite easily without him under Claude Puel.

Why would we confirm that? It is a derby, just not our main one.

3 questions... 1) I find it odd the paper still talks about it being "shares" the fans own, they aren't shares in a legal sense are they? More donations with a certificate printed off on a fans trust printer. 2) The article calls him a "billionaire", but is there any evidence he is a billionaire in pounds sterling rather than USD? 3) If the takeover happens, can we then legitimately call them Mickey Mouse club?

If you think he is Championship level, then you are utterly clueless at being able to judge player ability.

Man City are paying the bulk of his wages at Torino and it is not unheard of for clubs to subsidise wages until the end of the original contract in order to sell a player.

I didn't pass comment as to if I thought it was true or not, I merely linked to the story.
