wild-saint

If that was true then why do the top clubs fight over the most talented youngsters? There is a 2year period prior to administration and whilst in league 1 where parents would have definitely chosen other clubs over saints meaning for at least 4 years we would lose out on talented young players. That seems to tie in with the current 16-20 year old group that is terrible. You telling me that a 21 / 22 year old Adam Lallana wouldnt have played any games this season at Saints?

The current crop would have been taken on as youngsters around the time we were in championship / league 1 and as such we probably didn’t have first pick of the top talent. Stands to reason we are going to have a bunch of duffers in the current wave. We returned to the prem 8/9 years ago so I would expect the 13-16 year olds will start to see better talent going through as opposed to 16-20 age group are likely to be mainly shit. just my logic being applies but sounds plausible 🤪

Personally, I have no interest in watching saints play a B team from one of the SL teams. For that reason Im out.

The big clubs will have bloated squads signing all the upcoming talent including youth players. They wll expect to play a B team in the premier league to keep these players fresh whilst trying to get a ESL game with the A squad. The only way the FA / PL league can fight bac is by expelling them and banning players from international duty. Fans need to play their part by cancelling any subscriptions that include these teams. No doubt it wont make much difference as the company owners arent interested in local English fans of their teams as this is dwarfed by the number of worldwide football fans that would rather pay £5 per month to watch a TV game than support their local sides. Makes it an easier decision to let my season ticket go if it happens. Been a ST holder for 30 odd years and don't really fancy committing to a new format revolving around money. Shame

i take it that if we win on Sunday that any season ticket holders remaining that continued with their ticket this season will get first dibs on cup final tickets. What was the number 10k ST holders this season?

no chance the tickets will come to the clubs. No doubt its will be another carve up with the offering.

id suggest its paying duds' like forster £90k per week. plus lamina hoedt (or whatever his name is), carillo and all the other shyte we have out on loan at high wages

if he starts in the euros this summer and plays well then £50m

surely it would be less painful to divorce her if thats the reason why you watch saints

Shouldnt we reame this thread Summer Free transfer 2021?

id take Vesty, Ings and JWP

I agree with this entirely. jeez, imagine if we sacked him now who we would end up with.

how can you guarantee that, are you Ralph or has he been suspended already?

are we giving away Ings for free in the summer?

Fucking embarrassing

so what do you suggest. Guarantee me performances like this season and one 9-0 defeat and ill take that to the day i die. Been to a S?T holder for too many years to know that we are onto a good thing here. My biggest fear right now is that we will be relegated within 2/3 years of RH leaving.

Crazy tackle obviously but eh just needed 10 minutes and a couple of early touches to ease him in to the game. I guess that why you dont tend to hand debuts away to United. On a positive note it may reign in his expectations a little and if he is sensible will realise that RH will have the best intentions for his career. He must be regretting the whole transfer request episode now if he has anything goin on in his head

This 78millio n worries me too. To suggest it’s needed because use of Covid can’t be right surely. Just looking at the loss of match day revenue can only be around £30million. Where the rest going?

Yeah and then in the very next sentence said the AMN going to West Brom was great player

I thought I saw there is an option to buy for £4.5m

Probably so they can show they tried but nothing was available.

Probably because he isn’t anywhere near good enough right now.

Realistically he ain’t signing a new contract which means he will likely go in the summer in my opinion. If that’s the case we might as well sell now if we can get a big number. Initial £40 plus bid and I’d start negotiating.

Agree with this. Also they have had significant investment by their owner which is a key difference particularly with our current manager. I think most would tend agree that with a some realistic funding RH could take us much further than is likely right now.

will it be Romeo and Diallo once the inevitable JWP transfer rumours start to surface this summer?
