Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Not convinced by Tadic, Boufal or Redmond but Tadic would be the first one I'd get rid of. We should offload him at the earliest opportunity. There must be a better option out there.

Why is it a surprise? You really are a thick ****. Read the opening line of my message. 'I HOPE I'M WRONG'. Really pleased that we got this signing over the line.

Stop trying to be a smart arsed *****. When have I ever mentioned anything about Burnley? I did know somebody at Spurs but he's moved to a similar role at another club. A move that was largely forced upon him due to Spurs not playing at WHL this season.

I think we must have somebody lined up, otherwise there's no way we'd be letting him go.

Oh **** off you tool. In response to Hypochondriac - No, just one of those signings I'd like to see us get over the line but the longer it goes on the more nervous you become about it going pear shaped. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Hope I'm wrong but I've got a horrible feeling he's not coming.

Been saying the same thing about Redmond and Tadic for months. Both average. Rather see Long starting, at least he grafts. Start JWP instead of Davis and sort a decent centre back and I think we'll be ok. What were people's thoughts of Lemina?

Yep. It's also a sad reflection on the modern game. :-(

Italian press are saying we've made a official offer for Hoedt and met Lazio's valuation.

Still think he's a better option that Boufal, Redmond or Tadic. Certainly works harder than any of them. Be sad to see him go but if he's not going to get regular football then no point in keeping him.

Because she's got huge ears and a trunk.

Inclined to agree but it's a sign of the times. As a mate of mine said last week, it's more about 75 billion Chinese people wanting to watch Southampton V Crystal Palace these days.

Still think he's a better option that Tadic, Boufal, Redmond and Gallagher. I remember last season when we were struggling for goals and I said I'd like to see J-Rod and Long start instead of Redmond, Tadic / Boufal. May not have the flair but they certainly work harder and create more. I genuinely hope I'm wrong but I think he'll get more assists and score more goals and than any striker at Saints this season.

Crazy to let J-Rod go. Just read the reviews from his game today. Man of the match. Created more chances than any other player.

As I said a couple of weeks ago, they're all average players. I'd gladly see 4 of them replaced with 1 quality addition.

Obviously it's early days but first impressions are that it doesn't look like we've addressed any of the issues from last season. It's going to be a very long season.

Pair of C***s.

Liverpool have 'actually' received a bid for Coutinho which they've rejected. Has he spat his dummy out and gone on strike? We've received no offers yet VVD has already thrown his toys out of his cot. Pathetic, unprofessional individual.

Spot on.

Remains to be seen, but initial impressions are not great.

Building a team capable of a top 4 finish... In the Championship. ;-)

Relegation along with Brighton and Huddersfield.

Hard to argue with any of that.

Been saying we've got too many average players for months and got the usual abuse for it. This should be a wake up call. We're miles off the pace as things stand and need some quality investment.

On a slightly different note. Might be worth a few quid on Everton to finish above Liverpool. Also, I don't think Spurs will finish top 4.
