The problem with America is it's full of Americans.

what do you think could be done to improve the standard of food and beer at half time? Do you feel having to queue for 10 minutes for a half time pint ruins the day for many fans? Whats his view on the installment plan scandal?

Exactly, he looked very, very good there. Oh no, we need to sign two no wide players and ignore the centre of midfield. Classic TSF, a lot sont care who we sign, as long as it is someone.

Logically it isn't. they are totally diferent players. Carter is a CM Antinio is a winger.

well he says the betfair article confirms his fears. That we dont start well, Pardew cant handle the pressure and the league is hotly contested. All assumptions of course.

100% agree with you comment about the ability, players like Lallana, Puncheon, Connolly and Schniderlin are built to play that way. Like you say though, horses for courses.

good article that, accurate too. Interesting comment If you look at it on paper, they have the strongest squad by quite some distance," Martin told me, doesn't Martin know about our crisis or that we dont have 4 good players for every position.

The fact remains that both the echo and Pardew say he deicide his future not us. he didn't want us, however you try to manipulate assumptions. Mine are based on facts and quotes, yours are based on speculation that we might have offered him a deal, which might have been less than he wanted.

yes you said it was fair, which to be fair it is, however i notice you didn't say the telegraph article, which is also fair and accurate, puts your mind at rest about your fears, which is could do, that it give you hope which is bizarrely wrong according to you. Of course if you were that way inclined it might just put your mind at rest about this apparant 'crisis' you think we are having. comfirms a helluva a lot about the way you post.

I had a feeling it might. I notice you haven't yet commented on the Telegraph aticle which gives the other side of the coin saying how it eliviates some of your fears.

That ring is a bit gay.

Not at all, the fact is the echo said 'he decided his future wasn't at St Marys' and Pardew said 'he has gone back to Preston, there was no decision to be made' those were Pardews word in the echo. This suggests that he had decided before it had even got to negotiations stage that Pardew didn't have a decison to make on if he should be offered a deal or not as Carter had gone back to Preston already. Then tho and behold, three days later he is signing for Millwall on loan, a CCC club. People again arrogantly assuming everyone wants to join Southampton and all we have to do is wave enough cash in their faces.

If we had better cover in CM we would be.

God dont let Alpine, CEC or Professor see this, they'll go into melt down.

Not really, if people think we can sign who we want they are deluded. Danns, Bailey and Carter three example that we know about. Some people need a dose of reality. No apologies that i may offend some of you delicate little flowers.

err no professor it is not an assumption, it was in saturdays echo, those were Pardews words. It was not on the echo website though before you start busily and angrily tapping away in an attempt to check if i am correct or not. However, it also says here that Carter decided to return to PNE and HE decided he did not have a future at Saints, stop making assumptions that my posts aren't based on facts to suit your own preconcieved ideas. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/8312186.Saints_trialist_Carter_joins_Millwall/

Lambert had the choice of Bristol Rovers, consistant L1 club in a small ground or Southampton, big fish in a small pond, lots of money now and on the way up, building a squad that should win promtion this season, to the CCC. Strikers cost money, he may have got a lot more cash but it was also a good career move for him Bailey had the choice of Southampton L1 club, on the way up but premier league club in at absolute best two years or in reality 3-4 years, or Middlesborough, solid club, decent manager ,realtive wealth and should get promoted, premier league football in one year. If you seriously believe we can sign who we want, including anyone that doesn't want to play in the champions league then you are an idiot. Why do you think Danns, bailey and Carter turned us down? And yes i do want players who want to be here, otherwise we end up with underperforming w*nkers like Mark Hughes, Stuart Ripley etc, remember them? They weren't cheap and did f*ck all for us. Give me 11 players who play for SFC not the ££££ everyday of the week, i'd rather have that that a team full of Ashley Cole and Adebeyors.

Pardew said in his interview the other day he has gone back to Preston so no decision to be made, sounds like the player decided he didn't want us, not the other way round. Yet more p*ss on the 'we can sign whoever we want' brigades bonfire.

I cant be arsed to look to be honest, its not me thats saying we have a crisis on our hands. I am quite happy with the squad, wouldn't mind another 2 or 3 players like the rest of us not but not slashing my wrists over it.

Paste the comments, then, i am sure everyone wants to see your grand plan to ease our 'crisis.

Where? I dont remember this. So you present all these moans and complaints but are not prepared or able to back up your view with anything tangible, is that not the case?

What do you think then? That we, as a third tier club, should have a squad of how many players and Of what standard should they be? You seem to present all of the complaints, critisims and questions but none of the answers.

Err no, you seem to think that as a league one club we can have a squad of 50 all of the same standard which are all capable of playing at a higher level I wouldn't say you have mentalities 180 degrees apart, you are just deluded.
