I'm guessing its a reference to the all you can eat buffet and he brings a bigger plate? I though it was a lollipop at first!

I don't know what that is meant to mean?

Perhaps he is living there Alan Partridge style until he gets a house sorted?

Nope, it adds them back at the top of the list.

I don't think thats true, Twitter lists the people you are following in the order you followed them. Koeman is a long way down Clasie's list which indicates he started following him quite a while ago.

How do you know that? It hasn't been the case in the past... Saints signed Victor Wanyama on 11th July 2013, even though Celtic had upcoming Champions League qualifiers.

I hope for your own sake you are joking. The back 5 for example is only 1 player different from the defence we had at the back end of the 2012/13 Premier League season. 9 of those players are proven performers at a higher level than the Championship, 7 of them for a mid table Premier League side. Its only Targett and Isgrove that you could even possibly suggest are Championship level, given that Isgrove has never played above League 1 and Targett hasn't played a senior League game.

The article says "according to what is reported in England", so it appears to be a rehash of the Goal.com/Daily Express articles rather than new information.

I've since torn that post by Batman apart with post #619.

As he is from the area he won't need time to settle as he already has roots in Hampshire.

Note the word "probably"! Plus, if he said "any bids would definitely be met with a yes", then that doesn't put Saints in a strong negotiating position. You can list the names of non selling clubs in World football on the fingers of one hand, Saints of course aren't one of them, neither are the likes of Man Utd or Liverpool (as Suarez and Ronaldo show).

Les Reed has done only two Saints videos in recent months. 25th April 2014... 10th June 2014... 1) In neither video does he say there will only be "only 1 marque signing" 2) Dusan Tadic signed for Southampton on 8th July 2014, which is significantly after both Reed videos! I think your memory/faculties are failing you Batman, in the same way you persist in saying I've said Saints are bigger than Everton - when I didn't. Its all...

Do you have the link Batman? I don't recall him saying anything remotely close to what you've claimed.

When did he say both of those things? Link?

The article in question... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/391087/Tottenham-back-in-race-to-sign-Manchester-City-defender-Micah-Richards Daily Star is also linking Ronald Koeman with an interest in Roberto Firmino... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/391096/Arsenal-and-Liverpool-fight-it-out-for-20m-Brazilian-midfielder-Roberto-Firmino

Jos Hooiveld is our only Dutch player, and he appears to be extremely popular among the squad.

"What are the scores, George Dawes...?" "Ebbsfleet have 3 goals, Portsmouth have 0 goals" Badum tish(fish)!

Thats nonsense, it puts the club in a stronger negotiating position to get a bigger fee if a club bids for him. If someone bid for Shaw, Lallana or Chambers with only a year left on their contracts we wouldn't be getting the fees we've got for them.

I still think we'll get them both, so buzz away to your heart's content.

Quite a few of their first team players aren't playing, so by itself it doesn't mean anything.

Not yet, but you can watch the entire game here...

They sold us Wanyama on 11th July 2013 despite still having Champions League qualifiers.

It ended up with this...

I've never said that. You've convinced yourself of something that didn't actually happen.

I am, but Saints are selling players for huge prices to huge clubs. If we were losing our best players to Stoke and West Brom then that is the time to really be concerned... but we aren't... its Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal for huge prices and wages on offer. I still think we should wait and see who the replacements are before criticising the club. If the incoming players by the close of the window don't leave us with a strong squad then that is the time to be annoyed.
