What makes their summers more successful than Saints'? Who is top, the other 23 Championship teams after their summer spending or Saints after their summer spending? And yes, that is a perfectly valid point as signings in the summer influence league position in January.

The post of yours I quoted said... "after months of being fairly up about things". Saints have been in poor form for a month. The rest of the season they were the best side in the league and remain top. You will struggle to find anyone on this forum that isn't concerned with recent form in the league. However the season is far from a disaster, the team despite the poor current form is top and is clearly trying to act in the transfer market to turn things around. I'd rather be in that position than trying to catch up with Saints having had a weaker start to the season like all 23 other Championship sides.

You are fed up about Saints being top of the league since mid-September? I agree, that isn't healthy. But you take the other extreme, which is equally unhealthy for a forum. Lets meet in the middle Alpine!

Have you considered your constant ill-informed negativity is also annoying a lot of people? (before anyone starts, yes I know I am annoying aswell ) I don't see this thread lasting long before it is closed...

I say it because its true of my experiences with Steam. Haven't had a single problem with it and enjoy the benefits of automatic updates.

League Two or non league team at St Mary's and onto the 5th round.

Lambert is going to miss the Leicester game now. Surprised Alpine hasn't gone down this line of attack.

Like you, when thinking Davis and Connolly won't be back for the Forest game?

Sign upto Saints Player.

I've just found out the J-League players are on the SI database, just not extracted into FM12.

That clearly isn't correct.

He is suspended for 3 games after being sent off against Brighton.

I haven't, because the question was "who have we ever signed in the window who has been any good". He was referring to the January window and Guly Do Prado signed in January, had he not he would have gone back to Cesena. It meets the criteria asked for.

Since the Liebherr takeover... Guly Do Prado Barnard Puncheon Seaborne Chaplow

It is a league game.

We don't know what role he has at Saints. The article doesn't say.

8 Premier League clubs represented at Wycombe tonight, including Spurs. Saints won't be getting him.

Yep, he was deflated at the news a puncture would cut short his career.

The scouting department as it stands at the moment... Senior Recruitment Officer Bill Green Scouting Administrator Emily Webb Performance Analyst Tom Stockwell Youth Recruitment Officer Rod Ruddick Academy Recruitment Scout Chris Welman Analyst Stephen Corns Analyst Andrew Stone This doesn't include the numerous other scouts that the club also employ and come under the wing of Ruddick (senior scouting) and Welman (academy scouting). They must be looking for someone new to lead the European scouting as well. Paul Mitchell is a former professional footballer, it is unlikely he is going to be recruiting office and catering staff at Saints.

You've lost me. You are saying Saints should follow Norwich's example, but Saints in 2011/12 have done better in the first 25 games than Norwich did in the first 25 games of 2010/11. Maybe Paul Lambert should have used a Tardis and followed Cortese/Adkins example

Saints currently have 4 more points than Norwich did after 25 games last season. Your logic is flawed. You certainly have been posting a lot of baiting posts in quick succession this evening.

What are you counting as "kids"? Ben Reeves is 20 years old, Ryan Doble turns 21 next month. They haven't been in the academy for a long time now. Yes they haven't played alot, but they aren't much younger than Lallana, Cork and Schneiderlin.

I think some of you are underestimating the Saints wage bill. I'm led to understand Fox is on circa £20k p/w. Players like Lambert, Fonte, Cork, Lallana all on recent contracts with all be on more than that probably upto £25k p/w. The Japanese press have reported Tadanari Lee is going to be on £15k rising to £23k p/w if promoted.

They were on a Saturday in 2010/11, Sunday 2009/10, Sunday 2008/09, Sunday 2007/08 It was changed last season back to a Saturday finish for the Championship.
