Give it to Ron

I have been raving about Hojbjerg (well since I learnt to spell his name right) all pre-season was so disappointed for him not to start so all is not bad at the moment. Think he is going to be a real favourite this season - Redmond just needs the publicity taken away and let him progress in the shadow - he can do it I like him a lot he has pace and works hard. Get in that other midfield/forward and he will come good. As I said we have been 2 players away so often going back to Keegan when we finished second when another player may have seen us win it! I think if we get Bertrand back as well we will see us better going forward - Target did well but lacks pace taking on last defender. 2 more signings and we will be better :-)

Thanks for thoughtful post shame the idiot above#60 can't see that some have opinions other than rose coloured specs. I hope you are right - having watched this batch of u18s up close I think we have a couple of good prospects. Good point about Pied and he is Puel go to man I guess and everyone has one just he reminds me so much of Telfer :-) not a bad thing though just that right back position has been an issue since Clyne went. Someone made the point about Valery being coached and bought along by fellow Frenchman...maybe Just we need to get in a Mane replacement and good central defender and I maybe able to relax a bit more

Is Pied an exception to that? Thats my problem and concern at the moment - I see parallels from when we went down in 2005 we recruited for the squad and not for the first team - maybe an over reaction and on top of 2 abysmal friendlies and a first half on Saturday. Is Pied anything other than competent based on his record and couple of games so far - not writing him off just is he a top 8 right back? Fans have the right to be worried at the moment - yes we should have faith in the club - however it wont take much to undo what has been achieved. Again I support the academy ideal but they have to be good enough - ours are not for the premiership. I think we are just 2 good signings away from being there...but I have been saying that for years now! Sorry for the rubbish above its just I don't like what I am seeing at the moment - the players don't look happy - the players dont seem to fit this formation - we are not using our players like Long and Austin to their best ability. An injury to VVD and we are buggered - was concerned he looked so ****ed off Saturday he decided to play midfield for a bit :-) A couple of additions always raises the expectations and hopes again but need to be done soon

I wouldn't be surprised after pre-season - watching him chase(and failing) a full back all the way to half way line and get abysmal service he must be sooo p1ssed off especially with this formation we are now playing. Charlie is a box predator to not play him there is a waste of his talents.

Problem both Redmond and Romeu have is that they are not Mane and Wanyama....we had same with Morgan when he went and had months of stupid posts about Morgan sized holes in our midfield. Its not Redmond's fault he has been stupidly set up to fail "new Henry" my arse...the lad has to be given time and didn't need that pressure added but he won't be by our fanbase. We need to recruit a Mane replacement and let Redmond grow into that role and be the Juanmi replacement. Redmond just tried too hard on his debut but second half was decent.

I take nothing as ITK unless it's KBilly and his silence is deafening. After that yesterday and pre-season am concerned. I get and support giving academy a chance if they are good enough-ours are not . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LOL if you think spending is ambition.....Spurs spent 100m from Bale money Liverpool 200m under Brenda....that worked well glad you ignored Leicester season how much did they spend to win league?

Colymore 2-0

If you think we would pay 32m for a player you are supporting wrong club

I could be totally wrong but I would expect the captain to be at first season press conference - not seen one article about him or from him. Hope am wrong but that conference left me a bit uneasy about Fonte but it may just be lost in translation.

No he said that he has been professional and got on with it which makes me believe he wants to take up the option

I think he will be gone unfortunately I may have read that wrong but way I took it listening to him

Is this Southampton Cluedo? Mr Reed Boardroom Spanner Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not forgetting Mayuka, Forren, Taider, Osvaldo and Ramirez under his watch as well so not everything he touched was gold.

Going back to Fiorentina apparently Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
