He's going to be frustrating at times for sure, but definitely a handful for any team. Good first half, need another to kill off the game, Wenger won't want to keep the likes of Sanchez and Wilshere on the pitch for the entire game. The pressing has been top notch, and the counter attacking is a lot swifter

Martin Samuel p*sses in our pool again.....
Saint_Tony replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
He's pretty much stating the obvious, that if we repeatedly sell on players then eventually things will fall apart. As for Ward Prowse 'pulling the strings' against Liverpool, that's just a lazy assumption that all out academy products are good enough to be sold on for big fees -
At least we're higher than Liverpool will ever be this season. Great result, and finally our central midfielders are getting goals. Early days, but I'm very impressed with Koeman, looks like he might be able to get more out of the players than Pochettino. Bring on the Arsenal game, if RoKo takes it seriously we have every chance of winning
-
Looking like a 0-0. Decent enough result despite the circumstances
-
Yes. Swansea are a good side, and beating 10 men is never a given. In the big scheme of things, we've started well enough and will win plenty of other games. It would be disappointing to lose but no disaster. Would rather see is give Arsenal a beating on tuesday.
-
Definite red. Not been a great first half, but at least we know we have a manager capable of changing things around. Bony is their main threat, a defeat now would be unacceptable
-
Ok. Goal for Saints coming soon, 25 yard free kick by JWP, the dead ball specialist
-
Amazed that JWP is playing with Big Vic on the bench, this is the sort of game we need Wanyama playing in. Swansea goal coming soon
-
Ron said his work permit is sorted and he should be in the squad for the Arsenal game on tuesday
-
Where's Toby? Line up looks very weak with JWP and Yoshida in, would be very surprised to get anything from the game. 3-1 Swansea
-
Rickie will regret moving, even with Sturridge out yesterday he only came off the bench. He'll only get a chance to shine in the domestic cups. We've moved on quickly anyway. Depending on J Rod and Morgan leaving I'd like to think there will only be a need for minimal activity in the January window.
-
Great result, annoyed by final score only talking about how poor Newcastle were though. To think we are without the goals of 3 players (J rod to come back), to see us score 7 in 2 PL games is incredible. All capped off by MP failing to win against Sunderland yet again

Has everyone forgotten about Florin Gardos?
Saint_Tony replied to SaintJackoInHurworth's topic in The Saints
You'd imagine he's back up, but it's good we have competition at CB. Toby will be cover for Clyne too, so Gardos is bound to get plenty of opportunities -
Good point. Perhaps it was risky strategy.to have a clear out first, but maybe that was the plan to give a clearer picture of how many we needed to bring in. As I said at the time of his appointment, RoKo must have been aware of who was leaving but must have also been promised extensive funds to rebuild a side, what manager would turn down such an opportunity?
-
Don't think it's fair to call out the supposed trolls and bedwetters. The sale of Chambers was the tipping point for a lot of people. Personally I thought it was a great deal for us, so it was no surprise the deal went through a lot quicker than others. At that moment the squad was in a worrying state. Thankfully that's all changed, fair play to Ralph and Les for (finally!) sticking to their word. We've also seen the ever growing influence of Koeman over the last few weeks, he's got a great opportunity now to be a massive success. Just a shame we have an International break already as I for one am looking forward to seeing us play
-
It's difficult to judge just yet, but we certainly have good squad depth and plenty of options now. I was worried during the player exodus earlier in the summer. However I also said it was exciting as Koeman might be able to come in and build his own team, which to an extent has happened. Les Reed must take a lot of credit for turning things around. The sale of Chambers seemed to be the final straw for many, but the club looks healthy now both on and off the pitch, and there's no reason we can't have another decent campaign. #Wemarchon
-
Ramirez is no big loss, he's just never really shown up, at times I forget he even plays for us. An undoubtedly gifted player, just hasn't shown much at Saints
-
Have a feeling we might make a final late push for Redmond
-
As I revealed yesterday, Mane was booked in for a medical with Spurs. As far as I'm aware we have moved on from Townsend and there has been no contact with Spurs regarding any transfer since Wednesday
-
That Clyne rumour is bull5hit. Things looking promising, seems we have moved on from Townsend/Redmond and will be going for one from Mane or Capel
-
Just SSN stirring, don't think there's anything in it. Aldweireld looking very likely, if we get him our defensive options will be as good as last season. I believe if we get 2 in and keep the rest, most will agree that we have a decent squad on September One, and we can all apologise for doubting Les and Ralphy K
-
Townsend is definitely not happening either. Levy is in a right **** over not getting Morgan.Hopefully we have some other targets lined up, although with Mane, it might be a medical at both clubs with a decision still to be made by the player

Toby Alderweireld Signs on Season Loan - Official
Saint_Tony replied to Aziz Yebda's topic in The Saints
Sounds promising, if this goes through plus a winger we might be able to finish in the top half -
My Spurs source has confirmed he is having a medical there tomorrow morning
