How are they affording that? Surely they can't get past FFP with that sort of money being thrown around. Might be the only player they get in I suppose.

Love the Iceland chant and was great to see the players do it with the fans at the end. Passion and teamwork. Shame England doesn't have either.

I'm feeling the love from the United fans! http://www.utdforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=238479

I get the feeling that Saints leak info to the Telegraph, I'm surprised it wasn't Jeremy Wilson who reported it as he is a Saints Fan and has his contacts.

Still only 21 I suppose, would be more of a prospect if still a teenager.

I like the shorts and socks. Pretty funky.

Thanks for that.

You're just being critical really. We're going to bring in a manager who seems to have the expertise in Europe that we need and it looks like we have sold two players that were first teamers for a tonne of money and we will be investing that money in new players. Redmond is a decent player, it's not his fault that Norwich got relegated is it? So you wouldn't take any players at all from relegated teams? Maybe I'm just a glass half full person and you're a glass half empty person but I'm pretty excited about the new season, seeing what players come in and embarking on the group stage of the Europa League.

Who did he say he would bring?

You're being a bit of a drama queen. Stop being so negative when things are good for Saints.

Mourinho was sacked from Chelsea so he can't be good enough for us!

Let's just announce him now so the people that aren't happy with a manager that has taken a team to the semi finals of the champs league can have their hissy fits and move on. I'm sure the majority of fans will be happy it's done and dusted and can start getting some decent players in.

over £100m handed over from Liverpool over the last 3 years! That's good going Les.

Exactly, I'm sure we are spending quite a bit and I would love for us to be sustainable and still be improving.

Not sure why we have to spend more than what we get in. If we reinvest player sales into decent players like we did last season then there's no issue is there? We don't HAVE to spend money for no reason just to ensure we spend more than we get in. That would be silly.

I know, life is too tough as a saints supporter as it's all going wrong.

Fair enough, we won't know exactly but I suspect we will spend a fair bit over £30m, we would have to go buy reports in the press, ie Redmond for £11m.

The same money plus an extra season. Not bad business.

I bet we will spend over £30m before the transfer window shuts. Over £40m including the Redmond purchase.

I wish there was a playground bully willing to give me £20 for my £5 lunch.
