if you could go back to the original network54 saintsforever days you'll find a post there where i copied the email recomendation i made to the club by sending an email to the tellrupert@saintsfc.co.uk address after watching him play in a an under 8 tournament whilst visiting friends in France.

some people said man would never walk on the moon......

already setting us up for the we tried really hard but line....

who were the two players the club said they had agreed deals but both feel apart at the end of the window. Both high profile signings that would have improved us. Who were these players?

Demebele would be my ideal signing. I've not seen him play for about 5 years ago forgotten he existed but still think he's ideal. Plus he's always been our number one choice.

certain relegation?

Me too and i'd be amazed if he comes here given he's already said no and will no doubt have better choices as a free agent in the summer

Tomorrows tweet, #Southampton have backed away from Dembele due to Lyons asking price.

we tried to sign him in the summer and he told us to do one, cant see it happening now.

Yeah you're right, they would have been great signings if they were able to be brought in and out with quality or experienced players to help them out. As it is they've had to come in and hit the ground running straight away because some spreadsheet somewhere told those making decisions it was a good idea. and another thing. When you've got a load of kids with hardly any first team experience you need a manager who aura who has been there and done it to lead them, not some bloke with a chip on his shoulder whose only ever managed championship level or below. We've gambled on a load of young players who have never played in the premier league, led by a bloke who has never managed in it. Unless you're very lucky then it doesn't take a genius to see why it's not working.

Depends how you look at it. We've spunked £50m+ on a load of shite centre backs trying to be clever and thinking of resale value, when we could have paid £3m for Jonny Evans or Craig Dawson the experienced leader we've been crying out for okay we'd have had to pay him a bit more but he certainly wouldn't have cost more in wages than Hoedt and Vestergaard and we'd have saved £35m in transfer fees. in the forward positions we've spent £60m on Adams, Armstrong, Elyanoussi and Djenepo, only one of them has looked a vaguely competent premier league player in their time here, ones hardly played, another farmed out on loan for 2 seasons and i look a better premier league striker than Armstrong. They'll all be on £50-£60k a week. You're not telling me we couldn't have signed two far superior players for £25-£30m and £100k a week in those positions. I have always maintained the best route for clubs like us is a first 11 of a core of good experienced older players, in goal, centre back and centre midfield, around the 30 years old mark and get 2-3 season out of them, 2-3 YHGTIers and then 3 players of quality. Yes you'd pay them more but ultimately 3 good players doing something is a lot better than 6 crap ones not contributing anything. the problem is when every signing is a cheap gamble or YHGTIer with hardly any seasoned players around them then you're always going to leave yourself open to it all going tits up, like it is now.

So after backing off to let me have the last word, you have now twice responded trying to have it yourself

Of course we will, but we tried hard it’s such a tough window.

You didn’t back off and go to sleep then? Up until 2am posting on here in response to me 🤣🤣🤣

Why is it harsh to criticise him? He’s job is to win football matches. He isn’t winning them. It’s as simple as that.

Won what? you made some pedantic dull comment about birds evolution then got all angry and abusive you then tried to “win” saying you were calling me out for trolling Sog, yet I’ve not mentioned him or respond to him today and you’ve been repeatedly responded to me across 4, not 3 threads it was more than I thought! You’re right it probably is time you went to bed before you dig yourself a bigger hole .

I’ve not mentioned soggy today and you’ve been replying to me several times on three different threads. Think you need to have a word with the man in the mirror princess

Yet you regularly respond to me, so cant be that boring. So you’ve answered your own question. Well done

What was self opinionated about a light hearted post in the event of no transfer news which prompted a tedious post from you with a historical evolution of birds. Pedantic as fuck

Are you always such a pedantic bore?

I admire you optimism but also question how long you’ve been a saints fan for if you’re expecting any exciting news that late in the transfer window. Much like a packet of Worcester cause French fries it’s always underwhelming

Anything that can fly that isn’t an insect or is man made

Since we sold Van Dijk we’ve probably spunked best part of £250m on shite in transfer fees and probably the same again in wages. It isn’t that we’re too poor it’s that the management of this club has been criminally bad.

Used to be able to get hula hoops on every finger then eat the off them. Another depressing biproduct of getting old
