What makes you think that? Saints have spent close to £50m on transfer fees since promotion to the Premier League, including 2 players for more than £10m.

It is the size of a credit card.

Last night was the first time in the 2013 summer transfer window a signing by a South Coast club trended worldwide... Odd that Johnny Etrl, Romain Padovani, David Connolly, Joe Devera, Danny East, Andy Barcham etc etc didn't. Pochettino on hearing the news that it was trending worldwide...

I've tried to erase that from memory in the same way Redknapp removed it from his CV! Thankfully the Liebherr trust have higher ambitions and more resources than Rupert Lowe. Saints failed to press forward after the FA Cup final and 8th place finish of 2002/03, possibly leading to Strachan leaving and our decline. From 2001 to 2012 our record signing was Rory Delap for £4m ffs!

1) I said "late", which you acknowledged and then overlooked 2) Some people believe in an afterlife (although admittedly I don't)

We finished higher that season than we did last season. On Christmas Day 2003 Saints were 4th in the Premier League!

Nonsense as usual Barry.

Torquay, Hereford, Newcastle, Manchester, Rotherham, West Ham, Peterborough, Leeds, Sheffield?

Plug it into your computer and it has a number of files of "useful information" on it and this video...

Does it? Their ticket prices are so low there might not be much of difference between them and Saints next season in terms of ticket revenue.

Oh dear, that isn't Morph! How little you know, (the late) Tony Hart and Aardman animation will be most upset. It is Morph's arch nemesis Chas! *evil laugh*

We'll still use 4-2-3-1 and Lambert will be higher in the pecking order than Mayuka. I think we'll see a lot more of Mayuka this season though.

I await Alpine Saint's first post in this thread...

Why? The other thread was discussing the possibility of him signing, this thread has confirmation in the opening post.

Did I say he did? I merely asked him to explain the logic behind giving something so flimsy its own thread. If everyone did that we'd be drowning in random threads of no substance (more so than we do already ).

Explain how this warrants having its own thread? There is no credible source given, just some randoms twitter.

Yes, for 59 years in a row from 1891 to 1950. So if people talk about a "traditional Southampton kit", what about these new black shorts that we started using after the club had already existed for 65 years. Black shorts for Southampton Football Club in 1950 were completely new, a Saints Web Forum in 1950 would have imploded over the change from blue shorts to black! If Saints wear an all red it for the next 65 years that will over time become the "traditional Southampton kit" and any change in 2078 to the kit will be met with "it isn't our traditional kit".

Man Utd have white shorts and black socks.

The author of the article doesn't know really know that, he is basically summarising each teams possible transfer activity using transfer rumours from other sources. "Cagliari's Davide Astori might well be done and dusted fairly soon" "There is talk of an imminent deal for Uruguayan winger Gonzalo Bueno"
