I think the FA should change it's rules on players being involved in the England International set up. Players can only be picked for England if they have played say 70% of their clubs matches. I think we will then see how important playing for England is to some players, or whether money really is the main attraction.

If your gonna play him, don't play him in an attacking set up, he hasn't a clue

Massively over rated and not a player to play in the hole. Ray crab Wilkins at best

Great memories training in that gym, so high spec

Quite simple, slight change from the we sign who we want days We sell who we want We sell who we waaaant We are southampton we sell who we want

If it is then fair enough, but didn't see that on the official site

just wonder why it took so long to seal a loan deal in ?

All this talk about loans, surely we must be going to spend some of this money on a big money signing. Do they really think fans will be happy with loan deals when we have raked in as much money as we have. Dont get me wrong, Bertrand is a name I felt would do a good job for us and I am sure he will, so not moaning about him as a player, but why are we getting on loan. Loans are no good unless the player deep down would want to sign permanently as otherwise the heart and soul truly isn't in it. Surely there is a huge deal around the corner

Have to say this sounds right and board are maybe trying to get Morgan to force a move and soften the backlash to the board when they sale him, he is obviously staying at hotel as Michael Vaughan has tweeted he has seen him. His bags were obviously packed but someone has cancelled his taxi

Should be written in contracts about voicing opinion about their employers in public.

I would hazard a guess that his interview is the reason for the sudden breaking news about signing players this week, they are hoping it takes the heat off a little

Exactly the same as I have heard

SSN Luke Shaw training on his own as he is deemed not fit enough to train with the first team oops

Ha ha page 2

Can I start a new thread saying we have signed..... And then just fill in the name later

Is this a record number of posts made before the actual topic has been addressed

Don't worry about spell and grammar checks, just post it

One finger typing ?

Clutching at straws of a positive spin really

Is it good news or an indication of good news, if not then i won't look

loyalty bonus payments would be lost, again shows the greed of these arseholes

God as a club we have had some proper **** players represent us and been in some real **** times and seen some really poor saints teams play in the top tier of England. But in the past we never had as much money, a football legend as manager with many many contacts, a top of the range training facility. Some may do well to remember what we have been, these are the most positive times I have had as a saints fan for over 30 years. Before we had terrible players BUT we unfortunately had to stick with them as we couldn't buy anything else.

Did the next Arjen Robben (lee Holmes) play

i know, but players will come. I am not ITK but know that we will not start the season with as weak a side as many people on this forum seem to believe. It would have been nice to do business early, BUT we have held out for right price for us and not let players go on the cheap. FAR from it! letting players go on the cheap has been saints before? Not the saints now. Maybe many of our signings were involved in the World Cup final or third and fourth place play off, hence why they are not over the line yet. How nice would that be, saints with players that have been involved in those sort of games. 3 that were sold were not even regulars for a side that didn't even make it out the group...
