Was Kevin Phillips a free transfer? Was he joining West Ham who Saints fans have a history laughing it as signing typical Wet Spam (LMFAO) players? I will guarentee if Wet Spam (LMFAO) had been signing a free transfer from a club that had performed like we had the last 4-5 years our lot would be taking the piss out of them for it.

Imagine if they showed this these days 😂😂😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLMoJeQN8IY/

My point is if he'd been playing for someone else who'd been playing like we had for the last 3-4 years that's exactly what they'd say. He's a decent player and a good guy so wish him all the best, but we all know if we're honest people on here would be laughing at West Ham for a a free signing with 2 relegations in 3 years if he'd been going to them from a different club

If he didn't play for Saints all of our fans would describe him as a typical West Ham signing. Past his best, over rated, relegated twice etc.

this generation cant even decide what sex they are how can they be trusted to vote

but on a brighter note it's another record we hold, every cloud and all that.

Yes, that's another one. He was really good back in the day, big, strong leader at the back. Funnily enough exactly what we've been missing the last 6-7 years. Maddison, Danns, Elliott, Vardy, we seem to lose a lot of players to Leciester in a head to head

yep, too many teams makes a lot of the game pointless. Remember 1988 when the Euros was only 8 teams? England lost every game in a group with Russia, Netherlands and Ireland. I'll watch England v Sweden tonight and of course want them to win, dont know much about the Sweden team but youd expect England to go through.

Having a sleeve sponsor like Garmin is a real statement of intent

Another classic was he’d been at Norwich training ground that morning and heard we were trying to sign Gary Cahill. When a link to that hotbed of bullshit football insider was posted with a story that morning that saints were interested in signing Cahill he made out it confirmed what he’d heard 😂😂😂

We were very close to getting Jamie Vardy too. The fletwood chairman had told people at a game it was Vardys last game as they’d got an offer they can’t refuse from Southampton, something happened and as we knew he ended up at Leicester

That’s the fella thanks, yes. We were in for him and he chose Reading instead. After missing our on Jamal, Gorkss and Fountaine it was a mad scramble right at the end of the window and we got Hooliveld

Lots of stuff happening but given the CoT don’t know anything you’ll have to wait for the news to be in the public domain this window. I gave you Will Still a couple of months ago mind

Elliot Ward was the year before in league one and we completely mugged him off. He’d said his goodbyes at whatever club he was at was about to travel down to sign and got a call to say we’d signed Dan Seabourne instead. yeah Jamal was championship season there was definitely one more as well we thought was over the line only for it to collapse at the 11th hour

IIRC he first claimed it was a cup game, then a friendly, then when absolutely no record anywhere of the game could be found he said it was a behind closed doors friendly 😂😂 He came out some absolute bullshit over the years

Thats the fella, cheers. There were at least a couple more as well and Hooliveld was very much a last minute move. He turned out alright in the championship despite and infamous scouting report from a poster who TUI who claimed he had seen him play for Celtic and had scored an own goal, given away a penalty and got sent off in a match for Celtic, on further investigation it turned out it was a completely made up 😂😂

That was the point I was replying to, we signed Sharp, Fox, Lee, Hooliveld who all played a big part in our championship promotion but barely played again when we went up. we signed Hooliveld back end of the summer window in the championship after we’d missed out on our top 3-4 targets I forget their names now but one of them we from Bristol City thought it was a done deal then collapsed at the last minute

I think we should just get him signed up for a 6 year deal on low wages and stop messing about

Brought is Hooliveld as well didnt we? Started the first few games but out of his depth in the premier league. Yoshida came in and partnered Fonte for the rest of that season before we got Lovren a year later who made a difference.

You can replace Diblings name with that of any half decent kid. It's absolutely absurd that people think 17, 18 year talented kids, their agents and their families will just happily sign any old deal for years with no clue if it's a good or bad deal.

That's how i see him, might be alright in the championship but he looked shite in the premier league. Seemed unable to do even basic stuff which was nothing to do with tactics or managers.

He wants to stay but hasn't got a deal from Saints they feel is acceptable yet - which disproves the bollocks we should nail them down to long term contracts on low wages as they'll have no idea what they're really worth He wants to leave but hasn't got a deal from another club which Saints and Diblings bros feel is acceptable yet - which disproves the bollocks we should nail them down to long term contracts on low wages as they'll have no idea what they're really worth He is open minded and happy to stay or leave depending on what's on offer- which disproves the bollocks we should nail them down to long term contracts on low wages as they'll have no idea what they're really worth

Careful, you'll upset the wallys on here with their who needs experience mantras.

I think it’s hilariously naive that there are still people who think we can tie down all our top young players into long contracts on low wages and them and their agents will be like starry eyed little boys signing the contract as soon as the can with no idea of anything else going on in the insestuous, money obsessed football world, what their market value and wage expectations should be.
