We need his FM stats and a you tube clip for the full house on transfer thread bingo.

How do you know this?

Dnt forget we can only do one deal at a time so if we are wasting time on him then we are not chasing defenders and goalkeepers. I can also report Les Reed was out socialising last night not trying to secure signings. This is a disgrace and I hope he'll be taken to ask by it. This is the January transfer window, not June. He has work to do FFS.

Nice try at the 'I was there' superfan moral high ground, not that I care but it was only the fourth game I've missed since our first season in L1, good try though. Although I did watch it on a stream and had the benefit of a different view than the chapel end, the benefit of replays. This was of course countered by the lack of a 6 year old football expert next to me to guide me so I'll stick with what I saw, Which was a very good pass for Our goal and little else. Not much tracking, not much cover for the midfielder playing right back, 3 goals came from his side and Cork was hung out to dry with little cover, as was proven that 3 of their four goals from open play came down th right flank, I'm sure you 6 year old would have recognised this though. It's interesting you choose to compare Guly negatively with Puncheon though. Whilst we were I league one and the championship one player was willingly playing wherever asked and putting in shift whilst being abused by our fans for much of it. The other was off sulking, falling out with the owners and management and slagging the club off on twitter, he was even on record as saying he was happy to sit in the reserves, take his money and run his contract down. I don't nessasairly believe Guly is a better player, however in terms of attitude, commitment and loyalty to the cause there is only one winner.

He was okay in the first half, poor in the second, as was everyone except Shaw IMO. Unlike a lot on here though I seem to have that rare mongboard ability that means I can recognise what a player brings to the team and say when they've played well or badly, unlike the usual default 'Guly is sh*t and can do no right' mode some have.

At it again I see. Odd.

You said Puncheon was far more effective than Guly. In the 3 games since he's returned Guly has directly influenced two goals (in two draws) we've scored as well as offering support to the left flank. Puncheon has contributed one assist and (in a game we lost 5-1) as well as 3 of Chelsea's goals coming down his flank yesterday, as well as giving away a cheap free kick which led to Arsenals equaliser on NYD. So I'd like to hear how a Puncheon has been more effective, unless of of course you ment negatively?

Sorry fitz. We all know the only stories allowed like this are postive ones otherwise this story will be dismissed as bulls*it, even though rumours of a fall out between Lambert and SFC are very strong and that he was available in the summer.

For one, I'm sure that is EXACTLY how the conversation would go and for two, we had bid for him, which was rumoured to be accepted or at least being negotiated, before the injury and for 3, what is to stop us lying to Cagliari and saying he's only out for a week?

It's both isn't it? Puncheon was no where to be seen for 3 of their goals. He did put a nice pass through for Rodriguez goal, however if we are basing wide midfielders impact purely on this Guly leads Puncheon 2-1 since his recall. So how is Puncheon more effective?

Id recommend buying some fat percentage monitors. You can buy scales that will give you it or a handheld device fairly cheaply and although they are not 100% accurate I tend to find they are a lot more accurate than BMI for people like us. BMI doesn't take into account your build and body shape, muscle mass etc so as I said earlier, things like if you have done or do lots of weights will give you a higher BMI than someone who is fatter but has less muscle, don't forget muscle is 3 times heavier than fat.

He has the advantage that every Southampton player has through that they are guranteed to improve.

I decided to have a day off yesterday as I need to do some stuff at home, lots going on at the moment! apologies if it didn't meet your approval. I'm glad Guly managed to meet the aproval of your six year old though, did you you discipline him and tell him not to Talk such nonsense? I did watch it on a stream though and like most of the players he was okay in the first half and poor in the second. As for a puncheon being more effective yesterday are you sure? Didn't 3 of the 5 goals come down the right hand side with Pucheon was no where to be seen?

Can you tell at what point he says it's a great idea not to tell anyone who is injured, I must have missed it. Thanks. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2257039/Wayne-Rooney-injury-latest-Manchester-United-striker-miss-Liverpool.html Although having revealed Rooney will be out for two weeks it looks like Man U won't be winning another game for a while. Put your money on Man City for the title and Liverpool to thrash the next week as Bredan Rogers will know not to prepare for Rooney. What an idiot, he obviously hasn't got a clue what he's doing.

Cork got absolutely destroyed at right back and was missed in midfield. Don't play him there again.

And their support was terrible as well and they won.

True, he's young and guranteed to improve.

Come on Barry, your stalking is wierd. Other people have pointed it out to you, why do do it?

Yep, and that we have zero strength in depth. At the end we had on 2 17 year olds, Cork out of position, Guly who was awful and our subs were average championship players.

Almost as interesting as following someone about and commenting on every post they make. Proper weird arent you.

Why does everyone keep going on about our confidence being f*cked. How about looking at it th other way that some players will be out to put this right and have a point to prove next week.

How's that working out for Ryan Smith?

MLG I think you need to read up on what Alex Ferguson says about how he prepares for games fella. I'll rather listen to the way he does it and ex pros i know than how you do it on football manger thanks all the same.

But Martin is young and guranteed to improve isn't he? All our young players are.

Quite. I find it hilarious that people like MLG think it's brilliant because it means they won't know how to prepare for us. A mate of mine used to play at Saints in the 90s and even back then they'd have dossiers full of info on every player in the squad. To use the reasoning that they won't known how to defend against us or prepare for us if they don't know who is playing is pathetic. They'll know everything about everyone of our players. Do people seriously think Premier league managers and coaches only prepare for one set of players and tactics in the run up to a game, are completely unable to change them and know absolutely nothing about anyone else other than are likely starting XI?
