That is quite a good hit rate then.

I seem to remember celebrating promotion last season having signed Cork, Hooiveld, Sharp, Tadanari Lee and Fox. If Reed has as much influence as some are suggesting on transfers, does he not deserve credit for these signings? What problems do you have with Ramirez, Rodriguez, Gazzaniga, Clyne, Davis, Mayuka, Boruc and Yoshida?

That was one point from a list of four in response to this comment...

The signings last summer and in January helped the clubs gain a second promotion. Cork, Hooiveld, Sharp, Tadanari Lee, Fox. This summer what is wrong with Ramirez, Gazzaniga, Clyne, Davis, Mayuka, Boruc, Yoshida?

- Former FA Technical Director - Authored the FA's official coaching manual - Set up the Centre of Excellence programme - Part of England setup at three World Cups

Ramirez was injured by accident in training after he joined the club. To call it "spunking all our money on a crocked South American" is bizarre. Ramirez is comfortably our best player and will have a big impact on our season.

He doesn't in that article say... That is Paul Mitchell, he is listed on Saints website as "scouting and recruitment manager" and was previously the head of recruitment at MK Dons.

Please show show me where Reed said this? Paul Mitchell was appointed by Saints for that role. He is even listed as "scouting and recruitment manager" on the club's website. In any case it wouldn't just be Mitchell, purchases would likely be a combination of Adkins, Mitchell, Reed, Cortese and other members of coaching and scouting staff. Cortese ultimately has the final say, which is only right as he is the man in charge of the money.

Well it is you that... - says Reed is to blame when things aren't going well - overlook his input in the successive promotions If you really believe he is influencing us doing badly atm, why don't you think the reverse was true in the last two years of promotions?

And you know this because...?

So if you blame him for this season, why don't you also credit him for his part in getting the club successive promotions?

Around 500.

Or, Reeves is 4 years older than Shaw and Shaw has only just recovered from injury...

Ryan Seager He has the likes of Hoskins and Sinclair ahead of him for young strikers.

My guess would be... Davis Butterfield Hooiveld Seaborne Reeves Ward-Prowse Chaplow De Ridder Do Prado Lee Mayuka Why is that a joke team? We are playing a Championship side, and using players with good Championship and international experience.

If we were playing in the Championship this season, which line-up would you prefer...? K. Davis, Butterfield, Hooiveld, Seaborne, Reeves, Ward-Prowse, Chaplow, Guly, De Ridder, Mayuka, Lee Ashdown, Peltier, Lees, Pearce, White, Byram, Austin, Brown, Tonge, Varney, Diouf The Saints lineup still has a lot of Championship experience and with Mayuka and Tadanari Lee some good international experience.

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Despite some remarkably inaccurate reporting from many sources, Paul Gazzaniga has NOT joined Bristol City & is in West Yorkshire #saintsfc

Why would you use Ward-Prowse wide on the left in a 442?

Why? Staying in the Premier League benefits the club long term and gives them future opportunities to win trophies. In any case, I don't see why we couldn't stay up and win it...

I'll ask again... What if the person that was apparently "hit" had nothing to do with it?

What if the person that was apparently "hit" had nothing to do with it?

Our great minds are converging....

It doesn't directly say we will remain with Umbro.
