They've all dried up in the heatwave.

Apart from Downes, Scienza & Matsuki, there isn't the look of a Championship winning side there. Bree was awful, hope he wasn't a one season wonder. Shouldn't get too many offers for THB on this showing.

I was at Wembley in 2012 for the Women's Olympic Final between Japan and the USA when he was booed by 90,000 fans when he appeared on pitch for the award ceremony.

Carbon copy of Blatterer, let's hope he will face the same fate

Who will offer him more, he's mde of glass and a huge risk for anybody that takes him on. Football is not a charity.

What makes you think Stephens is a good leader?

Why challenge every poster with a question? It's cheap, adds nothing to the dicussion and just gets their backs up. Why not rephrase your opinion e.g; "I don't believe that has happened before under the current recruitment team" Far more positive and other posters might warm to you.

He and me both, time to bin Stephens and give the younger palyers a chance… and absolutely yes, give the armband to Taylor, a born leader which Stephens most obviously isn't

Spending loads of money doesn't equate to performance on the field as we have discovered in the past. I doubt the Championship will look much different this season to last in terms of competitiveness, the important thing to remember is that clubs at the top of the Championship are just as good as those at the bottom of the PL. Wolves, WHU & Burnley were relegated because they weren't good enough for the PL and there is no reason to suppose that they will be magically transformed into clubs that can dominate the championship. Saints have the momentum and the frustration of last season's unfortunate ending. They have a much better chance of getting off to a flying start than most others. I've claimed before that we will walk the league this season provided that we don't lose any of our key players in the transfer window or Eckert doesn't get kicked out of football for the season.

Shame on you

If he didn't feel valued by the Club before surely he will now, come on Shea sign a new contract and reach the promised l;and with us.

So is John Stones

The FA has been looking at Eckert's conduct not the Club's. He hasn't been punished yet as far as we know unless Spors docked a fine fron his wages.

How would they know. Clutching at straws I'm afraid. The guy's going down for a while

Nah! This is the season that Saints set new all time records and walk the league. Record points, most goals, fewest against COYR

The value of anything is defined by what people will pay, Simples.

Stay out of it

We give a damn if they walk away?

He looks the part, get him here.

Dont forget the X factor, in this case Tonda X-ert. If people are comfortable in their surroundings it may be difficult for them to leave even by the temptation of more money and a 'bigger' club. Are there really that many better places to be than SFC right now, this group of coaches and players really seem to have developed a regimental camaraderie? Better the devil you know? Dragan's player valuations are maybe his polite way of saying FO to other clubs, while also creating the impression of not standing in a player's way? @ evertheoptimist.com

Let's not find fault where none exists. Very few seem to take your view judged by the passion on the terraces for our Brazilian wunderkind.

Yes, yes a thousand times "Yes"! it's time to give the Captaincy to THB, not that it is much of an incentive in the bigger scheme of things but he is a true heads-above-the-parapet leader that can galvanise the team. Jack Stephens just doesn't have the right genes; being a long serving employee and a thoroughly decent chap aren't good enough reasons for how a Captain should be chosen. We have to keep Jander for at least this season to help our drive to the `PL. If we succeed then the whole scene changes and we might finally stop being a selling club.

That's the spirit boys, talk him down so that potential suitors are put off

Overrated ny Rs! He is the only Saints player in recent history that gets people ontheir feet every time he touches the ball. He is genuine game changer and long may he reign here.
