Adkins has already said we won't be signing a new keeper, we signed two in the last window. It looks to be Artur Boruc for the rest of the season. Give him a run of games and I think he'll be fine.

We got Yoshida and a lot of people now appear to be happy with him. Yes, we need another one especially with Fonte out and that appears to be what the club are now looking to do.

That fails to take into account a lot of the teams Saints are competing with have had years of Premier League football and Premier League income to build a squad. Saints leaped up two leagues in two years and took the first steps to building a Premier League squad in the summer window. Give us some more transfer windows and the strength and depth of the squad will improve as we bring in better players and get rid of those that haven't been able to keep up with the progress of the club.

So where is the problem? If we win at the weekend as you think we will, we'll 2 points above Villa, have a game in hand (admittedly away at Chelsea) and have a vastly superior goal difference. Saints had a poor start whilst they settled into the Premier League and are starting to look solid based on the last 10 games, Villa on the other hand have been getting worse in recent months.

What about... 22nd September 2012 - Southampton 4 Aston Villa 1 We played them off the park in the second half.

And what do successive promotions merit? Lucky for us you aren't the Saints chairman if you would sack someone for the reason stated.

How have I "hounded" him? I've ask him an occasional question and will continue to do so. I'm not going to stop because somehow that irritates you.

The evidence is in his two part statement. It is quite clear what he means. Dawson is the captain of Spurs. Why do think he was ever an option for Saints?

What a bizarre thing to ask. I was asking him for evidence a) we were in for Dawson in the summer and b) we "cocked it up"

Your evidence for such a statement is?

You personally aren't paying anything. If Cortese and the Liebherr estate are comfortable with the spending and we can afford it, why are you so bothered?

I was doing games against the 3 teams above us and the 3 teams below. In any case we didn't struggle against Norwich, Fulham x2 and Swansea. We were ontop in all 4 games, that isn't struggling.

Do they? Why? Do they? Of the 6 teams around us (3 above and 3 below), we've won 4 and lost 2. QPR 1 Saints 3 Saints 2 Newcastle 0 Saints 1 Reading 0 Saints 4 Aston Villa 1 Saints 0 Wigan 2 Saints 0 Sunderland 1

That still isn't irony.

Amazing how many university educated sports journalists and commentators incorrectly use the word "ironic" for unfortunate things or coincidences.

Pretty much all of your posts and threads you have started have a negative spin. Even if you really are a Saints fan, can you not see why that would grate with others? Cheer up, this is a golden era in Saints history.

Please provide some evidence of a "$6m release clause". $6m = £3.7m Do you honestly think Cortese would sign a player for £12m and put a £3.7m release clause in his contract? ffs

Which you've just made up.

Boruc had little chance with any of the Chelsea or Arsenal goals. To base your opinion solely on a tally of goals conceded is a nonsense.

Overlooking Boruc was Fiorentina's keeper towards the top of Serie A before joining Saints?

4 of our best players didn't play against Chelsea. Lambert Lallana Ramirez Clyne I'm not saying we'd have won, but with them playing it would make a big difference.
