Is it still good for Les to remain unpopular?

peach says jayrod and morgan close to joining spurs Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 1m I am told Schneiderlin & Rodriguez are close to linking up with former #SaintsFC boss Pochettino at #THFC. It never rains but it pours.

This made me chuckle, good article mate "master Child Catcher Arsene F.ucking Wenger"

Now I can see why Erwin was drinking in the bar over the weekend.

I think he took the Bro's before Ho's a bit literally with Kat owning the club.

Might change my stance as I've just read the statement and he requested to leave as he didn't see his future with us anymore. Sounds like a tap up and request to move approach used for everyone except Rickie. F.uck it Rickie your the only one in your bucket now Shaw is also out.

No malice to the guy on this one though, good opportunity for him and I hope he does well, he gets lumped in the Lambert/Shaw bucket. Funny to think his last match for us was when he scored his 1st goal for us.

Calum Chambers @CalumChambers95 · 6s I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone at @SouthamptonFC for everything they have done & for making this possible.

As an aside I just noticed Koeman has nearly a million followers !!!!

bbc article just gone up http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28497920

Villa Fans on Vlaar potentially joining us "If Vlaar has any ambition of playing in the Champions League he should probably move to Southampton and he'll be a Liverpool player by the time the window shuts...."

That's what I thought but maybe he followed him at Feyenoord, un-followed him when he left and now he is doing it it slots him back where he was ? Too bored to test it though, I'm off to the celtic forum to cheer myself up.

Clasie has just recently started following him again apparently though. http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/feyenoord-star-clasie-keeping-tabs-southampton-and-koeman-4028710

He's just posted this, not a playervin sight Ready for #Training!

The first 5mins of The True Geordie's latest transfer video does a pretty good summary of our current state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktf4RnI3ykw&feature=youtu.be&a

I hope the force is not strong with you.

Apparently FC Porto as really pushing to sign Clasie according to their fans forum with the quotes coming from his manager though it leads me to suspect he is doing the Tadic/Hamburg approach to getting something done quickly. "FC Porto is not going to give up the battle for the signature of Jordy Clasie. Feyenoord did prefer not to sell, after the departure of a number of contributors to the midfielder but the club from Portugal seems not many of those words to attract. It is intended that the Clasie teammate of recently attracted Bruno Martins Indi going to be. According to Wessel Weeze Berg, the manager of the Dutch international, Porto will be the next time an attempt will venture to weeks at Feyenoord. Clasie loose "He is the captain of the club Feyenoord and does not need the other outgoing transfers the money. But the negotiations have not yet stopped. FC Porto does not give up and will continue to fight for him," said the representative of O Jogo. However Weeze Mountain'm not sure it will eventually come. transfer to a Feyenoord will only count as an "exorbitant amount" is provided for the 23-year-old Clasie. "I can only say that negotiations are still in progress, as FC Porto Clasie would like to have., But a deal is not easy," he told yet know." The fans seem to be linking Kongolo to Stuttgart as well !

I think the beginning of this week will be the low point for us as fans and the momentum and positivity will begin to increase later in the week as more signings are made and we ratched it up as we move towards the 1st fixture and then the end of the transfer window.

Have to say the Man U fans actually seem like normal fans but I suppose the people who post on there are the uber interested and not like the 99% who support for ego inflation reasons. Some very salient points were made although I did notice how no-one could ever spell Schneiderlin

Saw this hidden in a celtic article - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2707830/Celtic-agree-1-2m-fee-Standard-Liege-striker-Tony-Watt.html#ixzz38iHHQtP3 Southampton meanwhile have cash to burn after the sales of Dejan Lovren to Liverpool and Calum Chambers to Arsenal and are poised to return for goalkeeper Fraser Forster after an initial bid was rejected by Celtic last week. They are also keen on central defender van Dijk who was a stand-out success for the Scottish champions last season.

Yeah I read the express article yesterday and thought it at least outlined some intent to spend although I wasn't sure if the 50m includes the tadic/pelle fee's or if this is an additional 50mil ? Reckon they have assed McCarthy as being the back up right back given he has played a few preseason games and selling chambers just makes sense for back up RB otherwise we'd have too many.
