It's the southampton way.. let one name be out in the press while actually working on another deal behind the scenes that the press and public aren't talking about.

I think that's because we planned to play a different way this year. When we switched back i feel it was a case of making do. Hopefully it'll be addressed in the summer window.

Just out of interest, why is there quite negative comments about our possible new major owner? What are you basing this on? What do you know about their plan and intention for the club? Do you think KL would sell to someone who would undo all her and her late dad hard work? Maybe cut them some slack until we have actually heard from them and their plans.

Why only sell 80% then? What's the point of holding a small stake?!

I assume it's to ensure the run the club in the way agreed and if they do I'm sure the remaining 20% will be sold too. You would think there would be investment criteria attached to the investment surely?!

Ah so today is the let's blame Dave Watson day is it?

might as well withdraw his plans for the massive extension on his home then...

If we are going to play 4-2-3-1 then someone to play along side Romeu in the 2 is a must.

If he had jumped in the wall for the first goal he would have blocked it He also left Rojo to run into the box for the second goal too

Have a great day to everyone luckily enough to have a ticket. I'll have to settle for watching at home a I couldn't get one. Get behind the team and make us proud to be a saint.

Manchini?

Bet you play FM right?

Odd we are after a keeper at the moment. Even with McCarthy out we still have Lewis and Taylor, unless Lewis is about to go on loan?!

7:45pm today Napoli play, will he be in the squad.....

Did anyone check the directors area today? My mate who was there said there was a younger guy with some older men he didn't reckonise in there. Sitting a couple of rows behind Les. Might be nothing, just guests of directors or a possible signing?

Just showed that our strength in depth isn't there. Interesting few days coming up...

A stake would suggest that KL will still remain major stake holder so be interesting to see how this is announced

My take on that would be, we are after someone and if we get him great, if not, we will say we are happy with what we have.

Wouldn't agree with numbers in the box. Still too many times today where there was only one in the box so rather than cross it comes back. Played quicker tempo which was good today though. Just hope VVD is ok!!!

Would you rather: 1. Replace now with a signing but not someone who is your first choice replacement as they aren't available in Jan. 2. Make do with what we have til the summer and then sign our number one target as replacement 3. Loan someone who is on par with Yoshida and then buy number one target in summer.

Did the crowd boo at HT or FT?

Spurs have Rose so wouldn't need him. Liverpool on the other hand....

Should be loan and permanent if he scores say 8 by end of the season

Any post match comments from Puel or any of the squad yet? Can't see anything.

Wearing the number 2 shirt already seems wrong
