SW5 SAINT

No, they never let him cover our games, that's Thompson today.....

Watching Gillette Soccer Saturday and the wonderful sight of Matty's waving arm coming on to the screen, signified we'ed scored.......

The load of mates down a pub choosing a player, would be so much better at getting it right and building a team than wham.......

You would thought it would have been good business to extend Yoshida's contract and get a transfer fee for him!?

I think people need to realise that any of these big foreign "investors", with a few very notable exceptions, are not buying the club because they love it, they are doing it to make money. Any"investor as the term implies are looking for some sort of dividend down the line. These " investors" only have to look at the Liebherrs to see the returns it is possible to make.

The likes of Australia , Canada and New Zealand are all clamouring for closer ties to the EU.......

I was thinking he(Fonte) must be injured or something. Still £10m isn't bad a transfer fee for a 33 year old who can't get in the first team....

This, why does Sky allow this sort of behaviour. Totally unacceptable.............

It must be a world record recovery time for a foot injury.........

Lol....just on SSN that Coutinho has just handed in a transfer request.........

This, the goals are going to come primarily from Austin and Gabbiadini. It would be madness to get rid of Austin......

I think it is second from left............

Sky confirming deal done now, medical on Monday......

I think he actually lives there....................

I agree the word 'investment' was the wrong word to use. It's just a word that football fans the world over bandy around, when what they really mean is to get the owner or someone to chuck money down a bottomless pit. I think I used this word as way of an explanation to people, who have been wondering why our supposedly billionaire owner has not been forthcoming with money to spend on team strengthening. Not that I necessarily agree with chucking money around, with no tangible return. For what it is worth I see Man City have already spent £219m( I have not used the word investment) this window, with Chelsea threatening to match them, where does this leave FFP?

If they can't play together, I would play Austin until he gets injured..........

That says it all in stating that Liebherr has a wealth of £300m. That's a micro amount for an owner of an EPL club. No wonder there are no further monies for investment....................

Spot on with all of this.......

Those were the days when the Black Box actually seemed to work.......

As many transfer as you want, prior to the kick off of the new season. So you can get started and include Messi, Ronaldo, Harry Kane et al when they have formally been unveiled as Southampton players.....

Fair do's, they already have left us far behind. The only way we could catch up is by winning the league.

These sort of figures makes VVD look undervalued at £75m................

Maybe we should grab the £75m while we can.............

No.......

This: Never understood all the bile and hate directed by certain folk at Eric Black. Seems Southampton F.C. have a high opinion of him............
