Give it to Ron

Wow thats some negotiating but guess Liverpool are a top draw for sides abroad whereas we are not yet. Can't see us getting anyone near that level for years although we should still be able to get some decent ones in if we can stay up for a few years.

£5m down...cripes that was a good deal then A precocious talent and on Roma's books from a very early age, Aquilani was tasked with filling the void left by Xabi Alonso at Liverpool and moved to Anfield in August 2009 for £20 million, although was soon shifted out on loan to Juventus and then AC Milan.

Ok another example Aquilani at Liverpool they paid loads for him top European player rubbish at Anfield. Its hit and miss and why going British in our situation is why I think we may have that idea...however having said that its obviously not our practise going by bids for Buttner, interest in Lens, that Senegal defender etc

But its a hit and miss I'll give you Delgado, Chala, Arias, If you want British you have to pay the premium - Fletcher at 12m...really? We are looking abroad as well...guess we are all just frustrated and can't do bugger all about it but whinge on here.

Just to add Gazza the new goalie isn't British. When we were in the Prem before I always thought if we had 20 points by Christmas we would be Ok - the season we went down we were way under that. This year that again would be the target I think. I watched Swansea against City at the start of last season and although they played well got well beaten. I am expecting that again for us and anything from 3 of thoe 4 tough games will be a bonus. Its teams like Wigan we really need to beat - draws against them will be the problem as thats what undid us as well in our home games in relegation year.

TBF he did play one half that fantastic Spurs prospect that all their fans were raving about.

I listen to loads of fans on here after the game...I sometimes wonder if they are at the same game as me! Rose has made the sum total of 13 games since 2007 at Spurs and been put out on loan every year sometimes twice to lower league sides - yet obviously will be missed at Spurs. I will stick with my thoughts about him rather than listen to you and your mate. If he comes then he will get my support as do they all...just that I personally don't rate him highly.

Oh do f8ck off you conceited tw8t....its my opinion...how many times have you seen Rose play? I have in the flesh 3 times and he has been abysmal each time. No end product, headless chicken. Dickson for me is the one defender who actually get to the byeline and delivers a cross and not lumps it in from deep.

Personally don't think he is any better than Dickson! Not sure our targets have passed us by yet we still have a week to go until first game - not been that much movement yet. I expect next week to really see loads move. I don't know one fan that believes we are ready yet and everyone I talk to agrees we need a defender and am sure the management do too.

We are...it says we will only take him on loan if our other targets fail.

Saves a few calls to the Samaritans

I watched an interview with one of the riding selectors/coaches he said that the reason she wasn't picked was that she did not gel as well with the other two riders as the one picked.....in other words she is a moany ***** whose ego is bigger than her talent!

Is it building to the left or to the right.

Sorry I am not into grooming :-O

So some wind up merchant with 18k posts on a numpty forum reckons people who qualified for one of the greatest sporting events is embarrasing whilst sat on his arse......yep suppose so!

Down to 3m

Why..did you expect him to be bad then?

Please don't quote that t0sser all he does is post sh1te to get a reaction - I can't believe anyone would allow their kids to be taught by him.

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints #SaintsFC will play three of their first seven U21 home games at St Mary's: Spurs (24th Sep), Newcastle (29th Oct) and Man Utd (3rd Dec).

Have you actually read the article??? On matchdays all coaches will depart from St Mary's stadium as normal and call in at various pick up points which will be announced ahead of each away game on saintsfc.co.uk

Not the UAE team Phil they were given special permission to catch that up later....they are still gorging on KFC and Old Speckled Hen.

This lot are Somalian apparently

Was talking to a policeman friend of mine and he reckons its because quite a number of London gangs are moving down here as they see this city as a soft touch. The London gangs dont give a toss and will just stab away at any resistance.

Flew with Ryanair last week - all the people that paid got on the plane behind us tight gits. We sat together there and back - the people that paid from Tenerife queued longer than we did as the dispatcher or whatever didnt unlock their gate.

Oh dear I knew Ian very well and worked with him at Mullards/Phillips. A true gent was Ian and he was ref in many games I played in. My deepest condolensces to you, your sister and family
