lol - can't remember the context but it doesn't look good does it! I thought he would do better, but as I said in the thread I started after Doncaster game I was wrong. Maybe with a bit of luck early on the pressure of lack of home wins would not have increased so much, but bottom line -thought he was going to do better, got it wrong, he failed.

and it makes sense (not the Rupert way - I mean to save money on cover!) remember, in this transfer window Saeijs also came in who looks excellent

just not true -was playing until few days ago when he asked to be released for a medical. Zoltan is probably very very cheap cover.

probably very cheap emergency cover

one said no signings in the window and players will be sold the other said no sales and hopefully CB in Which one was spin/sh1t and which was the truth?:confused:

as confident as you were when you said club were lying saying no one being sold this window and hope to bring in CB?

think that is fair -not one I am getting excited about, but if he is needed willing to see how he does.

amazing

Try and bring some light relief!

the club is always wrong in your eyes. Shame

changed your tune -you said they would be gone!

well done, found something to criticise club for

ps at least you came on this thread! Will Stanley comment? and look forward to St Marco telling us of his respect for Lowe! ( I am only taking the micky!)

don't get me wrong, not full of the joys of spring and saying we have world beaters, but agree we are stronger. Main point was I do get fed up with the fact that slightest comment that we may not sell etc and you are a happy clappy and totally unrealistic -so grant me my short moment!

been much debate on here as to how many CBs you need for first team squad, if its 2 -is he better then Perry and Saeijs? but if its 4 is he better than those plus Lancashire and..?

oh and Saga returning and playing! - that was not happening either.

forecast is no ice!

not saying anything!

yep, no Saints players out -we didn't sell any of them, not Kelvin, Lallana, or Surman -all done deals apparently and naive to think they would still be here!

The echo: Saints have made a last gasp swoop to sign Hungarian defender Zoltan Liptak. The 24-year-old 6ft 4in centre half has joined on loan until the end of the season from Ujpest FC but he won’t be considered until Saturday’s match at Watford. Liptak has previously had a loan spell at Stevenage and trials at Huddersfield and Southend. The transfer window has now closed and the club have confirmed that there have been no departures today. Wotte said: “He is a player we have been looking at for a short while and he impressed us in a recent behind closed doors friendly with how powerful he is in the air. “He is extremely composed on the ball and gives us more options in our defensive positions. “I am happy that we can add his quality to the team, and with his height and technical abilities I am positive he will fit in very well in this league. “After Jack Cork and Alex Pearce left the club and the injuries to Wayne Thomas and Michael Svensson I felt that it was the right thing to bring in a centre back in order to compete with Oliver Lancashire, Jan-Paul Saeijs and Chris Perry for the central defensive positions.” Liptak added: “I am very happy to join Southampton and hope to help the Club climb out of the relegation zone and up the league.”

He sounds very good.... I mean his name -it sounds like a good strong CB!

OS fifth line down

All posted with tongue in cheek folks - honest! But does serve a point that the "realistic view" isn't always that is it?

or sign another CB?

go on believe the OS!
