More likely reason is to guarantee goals, at least at one end

I think banning him would be more likely to have the desired effect. Sadly neither will happen.

No loss, never looked like a decent CB even when playing for the u21s. Not sure what went wrong with this signing, but something did for sure.

Thought it was only the FA that had random Board to appoint head coaches.

That Niemi bloke was quite good.

He better sign now, just purchased my first ever season ticket after 47 years of following Saints. Gulp.

Chavs. They should be waering suit and tie

There are a few people on here who are rather easily embarrassed. A trait of emotionally immature people, often (but no exclusively) teenagers, most people grow out of it.

So he still doesn't want to join then. If he is being defiant why is he at St Marys?

I think it will be Stephens and Martin in the middle Seriously hope its Yoshi, by far our best CB from last season. Just don't ask him to play RB or LB. Whoever gets to play has to hope they don't have to play alongside Fox otherwise they will look useless.

Surely no-one actually takes GS seriously do they? I have him on ignore along with 2 others of his ilk, because like the 2 others he is a troll and one of the most irritating posters on this forum. Like his pathetic chums he is another that has lead to the demise of this forum. He is as much ITK as me, and I know diddly squat about what is going on at SFC, I used to find out from here, but not any more.

Its a shame that Southampton who were totally dominant in England/Scotland in the 1970s and early 80s don't even figure in the top divisions of the womens game nowadays. Southampton are still the 2nd "winningest" team in WFA Cup history, only Arsenal have won more. 4th level in the pyramid, perhaps one day they will get back to where they belong.

Right that's 3 of us seeing the same.

Not convinced that Saints actually won. It looks to me like we came 3rd in the group stage and went into the B Play-offs for the teams that came 3rd/4th in their groups, and we won that. Still well done to the boys.

Lets all hope that by then people will at least have learned how to spell his name.

I think we've seen the last of the front sweeper role at Saints now that Frazer has been released. It seems like MP does not think having a front sweeper is suited to our pressing game. I am hoping that we will revert to the WM Formation this season.

Because someone with the IP address 86.9.15.225 on Virgin Media thought it would be funny to edit the wiki page at 10.42 this morning. The Moderators will no doubt undo this edit soon. Really don't see why people still think its funny to edit wiki pages, these sort of edits are always spotted and undone, you need to not only edit the page but provide backup for the edits before they are accepted.

He has scored 3 goals for the full Brazil international team, and also 6 goals for the Brazilian Olympic team (U23s). Olympic/U23 is not counted as full international appearances.

No.

Trees in Scotland, you're having a laugh. The few that do grow are turned into cabers for tossers.

Maybe you should stick to your native tongue, clearly isn't English from this snippet.

Spurs have been chasing the guy for the past 2 years but have grown frutsrated during negotiations... Seems unlikely he will sign for us in the next week or so then, end August at best, possibly 2015

We agreed terms with Celtic ages ago. That is not the issue.

Not to mention Yoshida, Boruc, Lee and loads of British based signings. We've probably signed more players than many other clubs over the last 3 or 4 years, so our inexperience is obvious.

Well it wouldn't be a transfer window without Alpine throwing his toys out of the pram. It is just so predictable, from someone who still cannot grasp the basics of the operation of the transfer window. The transfer window officially opened today and now has 2 months to run. We've done as much business incoming as Man Utd this window, and yet they were held up by Alpine as the example to follow last year because they did all of their significant business so early (actually they didn't but why let facts get in the way of a tantrum).
