Tom O'Connor is a real prospect in midfield and will push one or two of our current first teamers aside given the chance.

Oh Really? Didn't see that coming..... sigh! Still Mr Gao, bit more of the old debt paid off eh? Always a silver lining for some, lucky or what?

Brilliant

Clutching at straws here.

Words escape me at least polite ones do. Peculiar ideas as always from you, a lone voice in the wilderness.

People quite clearly are talking about his return in the summer at the end of the season. With our limited budget resources for new players, letting Ralph see him in action for a few weeks is eminently sensible. You never know it might actually turn out that we have a star on our hands.

Hear, Hear! That's at least two of us. The vile abuse of Cedric is a step too far and a new low for so-called Saints fans.

Is there any player that you do like? Why are you a Saints fan at all, always so bloody negative and cynical?

It's only Day 17 what's the panic?

Raging Idiot.

Putting the blame on Cedric for last night's fiasco is typical of the mindset of a few bigoted idiots on here. For his sake I will be pleased for him if he leaves. Sadly, that will leave a space for the boo boys to gang up on another player, probably a foreigner.

Hasenhüttl certainly did him no favours in his presser when asked if Cedric was an important player for him. I don't like this approach of basing judgements on first impressions, seems with Hasenhüttl if the initial chemistry isn't right you're out the door. Poor old Cedric, he's been more loyal than most had a really bad recent injury and simply ha don chance to prove his worth in our new set up. If he goes my view of the new boss will diminish slightly and anything he says in future will carry a caveat.

Joking yes? He is a dirty barsteward and will get sent off more times than Hoj

Spot on. Nothing there to argue about. Nutshell.

I'd like to see O'Connor given a chance. He's much better than Slattery and Slattery is clearly well out of his depth at the moment.

Don't we still have Boufal?

12 inches?

but surely not after 22 games? We might end up 10th yet.

Hasenhüttl is a jammy barsteward, I'll give him that. As for young Valery, least said soonest mended. Crap team playing crap football yet we get a result. What was wrong with Redmond, didn't seem to be interested. What to say to all the experts on here who have run the hate campaign against Romeu? How about ******** to the lot of you?

I get the impression that even Hasenhüttl is not ITK. Anything that spices up the January window is fare game for me so keep posting. I guess we both suspect that come the end of the month Saints will have failed to bring in anybody of any significance having meanwhile sold off even more of the family silver however tarnished it may have appeared to some. Only JWP seems immune to such rumours and gossip, wonder why that is? Having got themselves relegated from the PL U23 last year it is good to see so much faith being put in that same group of young players to save us in the PL proper. You couldn't make it up.

I wouldn't play a card like that even if I was ITK which I clearly am not and I'm betting this is another pile of bull**** from one of the best NITK bull****ters. I keep my eyes on the screen every day but sod all ever happens. Even Ralph looks as 'though he is thoroughly ****ed off about something.

What little hope we have of staying up depends on Cedric & Bertrand reprising their best attacking full back roles in the run-in to May. I cannot seriously believe that Ralph would willingly let either go unless their contracts had run down and they wanted out at all cost. The silly season is well and truly with us. The very idea that Valery and Targett are in any way adequate replacements for these two international players is laughable. Maybe Everton are playing silly buggers, you are unsettling Lookman so we'll queer your effing pitchn as well.

Nothing unusual about that after all he is a professional footballer and if he does move he will want to stay match fit and hit the ground running at a new club. He cannot afford another Southampton in/out saga in his career.

This is all rubbish. He is our No 1 choice by a country mile. The sudden reappearance and associated noise surrounding Mr Forster is all to do with putting him the shop window. At the moment all our efforts seem to be concentrated on selling players.

It's good that we are selling off the dross like Gabbiadini & Davis but keeping top quality players like Long & Ward Prowse, at long last a transfer policy that makes sense.....
