What does that actually mean?

The first 4 years was largely down to us investing more in the squad than our rivals.

It's quite re-assuring that there are some poor teams in the league this year. I don't think we'll finish above West Ham so I'm going to say Saints to finish 11th - 15th.

The 'record' signing, whilst true, is a pretty irrelevant metric as demonstrated by numerous signings across the divisions this window.

Fortunately we never get any injuries.

It doesn't seem to square with the plan to get into the Champions League. Maybe they've changed their mind on that.

GAPE LOAN DEAL Southampton youngster Dominic Gape has signed for Wycombe on loan until January

Ever considered posting something about the club or the team rather than solely berating other posters? Just once maybe.

West Ham interested.

They were going to have the chat this morning but Claude was still out on the training pitch working on the diamond.

11pm I believe. Can 'emergency' loans - whatever that means - still be made for a further period?

What on earth are you talking about?

Three options; - find a way to play the formation Puel wants - bring in a player(s) who will fit the system - abandon the system Whatever option they go for, and they are all possible, do it sooner rather than later.

He very clearly won't.

That's clearly not true.

Martina must have some compromising photos of Erwin.

Maybe we should join forces with Hull to see if we can get a team on the pitch for the weekend. Hullhampton FC.

Looks like Stoke are going to sign Phil Jones which may be the start of CB musical chairs.

Ross Wilson then.

It's been moved to The Lounge.

The Echo reporting he'll be allowed to go out on loan but want to sign a replacement in this window. Whether that's a loan or permanent is not mentioned. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14697042.Saints_will_allow_J_Rod_loan_move/?ref=mr&lp=1

That comment might apply to Jay. It certainly doesn't to Jose. Nice try though.

So you're saying he meant that we have the best pool of midfielders available to chose from in the Prem, yes?

I think you've probably answered your own question there. He maybe 'fit' but he's clearly not match fit and it must be considered highly unlikely he will ever return to the form he had when he was selected for the WC. His game was largely based on pace. Whether he can reinvent himself to an alternative style remains to be seen and perhaps is his only chance to return to the first team. All supposition of course on my behalf.

That's what it looked like to me. A trip. No complaints.
