Guan 2.0

We will walk this league ffs.

Beyond The positions? I can't, even if KBSS has started shouting! Still annoyed the club beat the announcement by two hours! Oh, and the club were so forceful because they are hopeful that Clasie will not only be a marquee signing, but also a gateway to other continental players (but that's not exactly classified info) Lots of euphoric feeling around coaches and management tonight, which is why i wouldn't rule out the club being more open about our strategy on Fri.

Wonder if Koeman will be allowed to talk about our targets after the draw on Friday....

If we get anywhere near the asking price, Just over two Shlongs, or just over half a cake haul.

English 'value' comes into play.

I've been told this will be announed Thurs (this was yesterday, so happy to be corrected if SA has newer updates). If we get our Number 1. CB target and the Right sided CM we're also in for, a very good window will be had. : )

You don't need me to tell you that, yes, yes we are! Big Les Reed confirmed it just yesterday.

Too late. He just realised that pre-season is the be all and end all of football, and decided to quit after the final whistle. The club were hopeful of keeping him, but it turned out that RK was just stringing along Les Reed during the twelve seconds of Injury time.

This is DISsGRACE! 3 Lossos in a row, no sign of change at the top. Lorry Macmenemy in as DOF to stop the rot! and harry to bring our wheeling dealing level above 85/100. If season tickits aint given away next we, then we riot! sHOW THE BIGWIGS THAT ITS THE FANS THAT REALLY MATTER!

Hopefully we'll also keep 11 men on the pitch for the full 90. And have Andy Townsend Silenced.

No, but i will do if you're being serious! That's the exact sort of day Cravat I'm after.

Afternoon all. Do any fellow Saints fans know of an outlet in Southampton that would sell a cravat (preferably vintage though not necessary) for under £20? Ordering online is out of the question as I need to have it by midday. Many Thanks!

I'm not as amusing as you that's for sure. You've got the whole Comical Ali patter down to a T. Never mind you've come on a thread to **** your pants if anyone points out that Tadic has surpassed Lallana in quarter of a season, and claiming the only reason that they would say that is because Lallana has left, not because he's better. Tadic is a better player, who also happens to have replaced a man who we had made captain and pushed for England, and walked out on us the first chance he had to manufacture a disgraceful exit. Now on to your second Paragraph, and the encapsulation of your attitude. I hate to break this to you, but Lallana is never going to turn up on your doorstep with a signed document entitled 'I'm a disloyal C**t' . So instead we look to other sources. So, In addition to Fowllyd's excellent contributions above. Facts (as you requested): Lallana requested a transfer without putting in a transfer request, so he could keep his laughably named 'Loyalty Bonus' This was days after he indicated he wanted to stay and "Keep progressing with the club" [video=youtube;Tscrxq6Dl-g] (7.00 onwards) It was also at the same time he was reassuring Club officials he hadn't spoken to Liverpool and was open to staying. I was informed by them. He was our Captain at this time. Kissed the Badge to a comical degree for someone with so litte loyalty He had had a poor attitude in regard to changing/improving his game on the training ground after watching post match videos. (Again confirmed to me). This attitude change was noted by others outside the club (Mark Clattenburg included) He had been similarly difficult in 2008 His Comments in Brazil (both the 'I hope so' when asked to sign for Liverpool, and the life changing debacle) showed him to be a little out of touch. His self aggrandizing photo in the echo, vs Rickie's heartfelt open letter (I should also mention how well respected Rickie still is here - No wonder he was invited back for the academy Video) cemented this. His refusal to acknowledge his behaviour or how it shaped Saints fan's view of him ('I just think fans don't want to see great players leave'). Oh and finally. The fact that Tadic has already contributed more to Saints in quarter of a season than Lallana did in a whole one. Which is the main point of this thread. Which you were unhappy with. And want everyone to pretend he was a loyal messiah.

Great Point-by-Point Rebuttal. "I'm not Lallana's dad*, so the rest is Irrelevant". It's hard to dispute things that are known to have happened, yes? *I didn't actually think you were related to Lallana. I was jokingly trying to explain the one-eyed slavish devotion to your personal deity. The beard doesn't make him God, just so you know. Out of Interest, why do you think people would berate Tadic's Contribution if he left, as he's already statistically better? Weird point to try and make in an attempt to prop up Lallana.

I'm guessing that CEC is either a friend of the family, or otherwise close to Lallana. Forget for a moment his actions since his move, the fact this wasn't the first time he'd threatened to leave at the first whiff of Interest, His Brazil comments and shirt signing, or his self aggrandizing Echo Picture. On their own, none of these things would move the club to give a couple of lines notice, vs the tribute given to Lambert's contributions. Nor would it be the sole reason for them blocking him from any mention in the Academy Video, or any images being shown. Anybody who believes otherwise is being wilfully ignorant or hopefully naive at best. When Lallana returns to the south coast for the game against us (unless he bottle it, a strong possibility IMO), he will see and hear how the Majority of Saints fans will fell about him. Lallana was a completely disloyal towards Southampton FC towards the second half of the season. Wasn't even paying attention to post match analysis of his own game. As for his mettle as a man, you only have to look at his recent comments on his move, saying one of his man concerns was making sure Bournemouth got as much money as possible through the sell on clause, but that didn't mean he was going to help improve the amount by giving up his 'Loyalty Bonus' So instead he publicly requested a transfer (even after stating he wanted to stay just days earlier), without putting in a transfer request, which could have Jeopardised his d̶r̶e̶a̶m̶ ̶m̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶l̶u̶b̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶r̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶w̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶e̶m̶i̶e̶r̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶g̶u̶e̶ Big pile of personal cash. But if a few deluded souls want to cheer him on, have at it. You pays your money you makes your choice, as an old head once told me.

Ditto TA and Bertrand. A lot easier to stay at a club where you feel happy if you also happen to be hosting Giants of Europe such as, err, Apoel Nicosia and PFC Ludogorets Razgrad. But it remains to be seen if Koeman thinks that Cork can cut the mustard in the Champions League (if we are to qualify). I wonder if Saints fans think he can?

I like this new 'hardnut' version of Alpine.

Tadic in the hole, Wanyama and Cork in front of the back four, long, mane and Pelle up front.
