SW5 SAINT

The sight of Exeter in their red and white shirts is normally enough upset them on it's own. It was even better when Fly be was printed on them!

The Queen Mary back in Southampton would be better in my opinion.

And the most (5) against San Marino. Charlton would never haver played against teams like San Marino because they didn't exist as an international teams in his day.

Glad they are wearing red & white.....

The signing of this man and Osvaldo must rank as Saints worst wastes of money of all time, with no sell on value on either. Even Spurs seemed to get to some money back from Soldado, Paulinho and the rest. No wonder Cortese got shown the door.

I don't suppose he cost us as much as Forecast did.............

It will always be Saints related, all the time he remains at Liverpool...........

Their proper and rightful place is as one of the Top Four clubs in England..............

I rather think it was add ons that would take it to up to 16m. If he fails Southampton won't get all the 16m.....

Indeed, lets hope they are queuing up for JRod next summer, it will mean Southampton have enjoyed a good season from him.......

We probably will in a couple of years when Virgil has moved on to Anfield.

Let the battle of Mid Jutland begin.....

You so sometimes wonder what it is all about these days, more big business than sport. Just so that people on the other side of the world can jump up and down with excitement and identify with 'their" team (one of the big four) sweeping all before them. The predictions bit is the easy part these days. Most people on here have got a pretty good idea of how the final table will look come next March, the only excitement maybe someone like Wham struggling.

I wonder what Scousehampton got in the way of a transfer fee from him? Knowing them they probably made a profit, got the £7m we should have got for him last year.

Wham now drawing 2-2, after yet another player sent off -

Can't think of anyone else more deserving in the history of Southampton FC than this man...............

Indeed, if Carlsberg did Premier Leagues it would be Southampton as Champions and Liverpool, Tottenham and Wham for relegation(not really bothered which of the three to be bottom) Unfortunately I think it will be Watford, Bournemouth and Leicester for the drop, with Middlesbrough, Burnley( if they keep hold of the manager) and Forest promoted.

I would have thought there is still a sizeable surplus from last seasons trading in the transfer market.......

Kevin Keegan.

Didn't we have a 5 year deal with one of our promising young goalkeepers once?

Look at the price Liverpool held out for for Sterling. I would say about double what he is worth. At that rate we should have got £60m for Schneiderlin or Shaw.......

How desperate are we?

You would think agreeing compensation in this case would be down to the lawyers and financial gurus.......

At least will then get nearly 14m in transfer fee + the original £1.5 -
