We will win. 2-0 I think

Lol, of course but I'm sure it would have come up in conversation. Have to say I have been very impressed so far, especially in distribution which is a huge upgrade.

Good points W.S & welcome back to the forum

fwiw I do not think Irene is saying FF has it stiputlated in his contract that he is 1st choice, but a gentleman's agreement from Dave Watson & coaching staff at the time FF signed.

Pretty sure Derry all our CB's are now right footed. Both Jos and Lovren were lefties I think.

Heard of him, know he's quick. That's all, his stats look great in a poor league. Good age 23 (sure buddy) and very direct which is what we need. Sounds good.

Only saw 2nd half and we looked great as **** as they were. tge 1st goal was 100% pelle's, seen it over & over from the back stick. He got 2.

Bizarre

Brek shea is the best player I have seen live in mls by some distance. However he has gone backwards in the last couple of years. Would describe him as a very rough diamond. signing would either work out to be a massive mistake or a stroke of genius. I would bet on the former, but the lad has ability no doubt. would be an odd one, our scouts would be more than aware of him. Can't see it myself, lad has talent though.

I think the way this is playing out it will be a busy deadline day for us in both directions

Decent

Poor today but no need for usual over reaction. Thought we were decent last week & decent pre season. West brom were ok well organised. Like many games last season we failed to break them down. We had a number of poor home performances under poch. Chill out.

I think Townsend would be a decent signing fwiw. He's better than Redmond IMO. It's that sort of direct fast winger we need in our 4-3-3 IMO

Poor tackling from MS on Saturday. He bottled it for the 1st goal. Tactical Newspaper @TacticNewspaper · 4h Three Terrible Statistics from the Premier League Opening Weekend, feat. Southampton & Villa players (@Squawka) – http://bit.ly/TerribleTrio

Good debut, looked commanding and confident. His kicking was much better than Arturs

No Cameron on stoke side this weekend. Hoping this rumour is true

Cameron would be a decent addition, kills 2 birds with one stone. I'm a fan

Really? No thread yet? Discuss.... My thoughts....makes sense for 7mill ish, 12 million which I doubt = way overpriced.

Yes, for a club much bigger than Saints. Don't forget Europa League, Champions League, World Cup quals and finals. You know, all those competitions where Redmond has really thrived....

Lulic is clearly miles better than Redmond if you do some research....

Don't be so cynical, totally possible. I've spoken to rupes in the car park re transfers before, it does happen

bbc now reporting personal terms already agreed so just the medical now. Expect unveiling at the BL game. bbc.in/1yewIvK

Obviously been ongoing for ages and glad to see another keeper in, just seems a bit pricey. Am I alone in thinking that? Clearly Dave Watson rates him. What now for Artur? Hope he stays and fights.....

The mls is ****, I go once a month or so. On a par with league one IMO but less competitive. some live football is better than none I guess. At least the beer and food is night and day from back home!
