There is light at the end of the tunnel and all will be well if only we can finish building the damn thing before the workers go on strike in a stream towards the exit singing the Rivers of Babylon and still no one to Bale us out etc etc

Then again we made our own Channon, MLT, Shearer, Wallace, Lallana etc etc So sort of the same but not if you don't have a kit man that everyone knows. Bring back Woggy and of course the tea lady, ethel.

Wise has told Ashley of out Total football and The Dutch revolution here at Southampton and appears very interested. I just hope we have got JP tied to a very long lucrative contract otherwise most of us fanatical supporters will have nothing to debate.

Possibly related to Gerrard Houllier.

Can he play centre forward by any chance?

Full credit to you Sir Phil, but lets not forget Mr Wilde who is beavering away there in the background as The Football Chairman and everyone else is taking the credit. Sink or swim. One for all and all for one. But in reality let us hope and pray that the Frech Youth is just an extension to the Academy and continues getting us results on the field and in the bank. If they get it right, we the fans can slap ourselves on the back. If they get it wrong we can blame the Directors.

Prost working as a scout can only bring possible stars of the future and maybe the odd player for to-day ie Spiderman who appears to be a real find. I hope it continues for the good of the club. I support the club and was only very concerned in the present financial climate that we not only gamble on future stars but those that are not fit. Then again if Gasmi is that good then worth the gamble. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. In Jp I trust at least for the moment. Do not give up on our own academy because of a few set backs.

Killer for being there but overall the player to date for me is. Lallana.

Like me Doc you don't know but sometime this year will be a bonus and coach JP can have his first look and make decisions wether he will improve the team or even the squad. As a fan I truly hope so.

You made up your statement that he would not be available for a couple of games. But to be fair I accept that is just your opinion.

The injuries that Pulis and Gasmi have are not 4 week recovery period as suggested but closer to 2-3 months when you take into account rehab and then some reserve games. First team match fitness December meaning Xmas. But then again will they be good enough for the first team? Over to JP, hopefully. Until the first team coach observes their first games of football he will not be able to decide unless directed otherwise. I really do hope they get fit sooner than later but before you start, I really do hope The Director of football has chosen well. To be fair he gets about 1 in 10 right which is not bad for a non football man. JP as a football man if left to his own football decisions would, I suggest would really begin to earn his money. So Nick both Pulis and Gasmi come into your categorising as overpaid underperforming ones as you suggest re others. That is until they prove otherwise. Have we got the money or time?

So was BWP once and Real Madrid, when he was 7.

yOU AND ONE OR TWO OTHERS MAKE IT UP AS YOU GO ALONG TO SUIT YOUR AGENDA. gASMI IS NOW CONTRACTED TO US AND PAID BY US.

Gasmi and Pulis are now both on our payroll whilst injured. Gasmi is receiving treatment in France but is now our player and contracted and paid by us.

sorry Sue, Tongue in cheek re xmas present, when Pulis and Gisme will be ready to take over tired legs. IE INJURIES AND MATCH FITNESS FOR THIS PAIR. I would never be rude to Heather(or Sir Paul) as I know they both read this forum and I heard a rumour they are going to take the club over as an investment for their child. Not til Friday, so the rumour goes.

Ron Davies (Taff) God bless the pair Tommy Traynor 1900s

James true position Mid-Field Central Cork Holding Mid-Field Gobern Left Mid-Field BWP, SKACEL AND EUELL. Gasmi and Pulis in the sick bay.

Mid-field in short supply? James, Surman, Lallana, McGoldrick, Thomson, Wotton, Holmes, White, Cork, Gobern, McGlaggon, Spiderman, Gillet, Dyer, Pulis, Mills, Skacel, Euell,BWP and acouple of youngsters not quite ready yet. Not forgetting Gasmi... Accepted that one or two play several positions. But I think we need to move a few today or wages could be a problem.

15/16 Is that enough, mind you some are not fit enough for several months but we can still pay there wages. They had better be good or at least a worthwhile gamble. Fresh legs at xmas eh! Strange..

It is well known that Perry Groves had major injury problems before arriving at Southampton. Never really fit enough to play competitive game and that is one of the reasons further injury sustained. We knew this and so did Arsenal and we gambled big time on player very few games and no way fit..stitch up.. 1st class..

Why did we not do our homework re Blackpool?

Pulis too, very strange for someone we could loan when fit and only after getting match fit and better than we already have.

This is my concern now as we have no money and signing injured and possibly no better than we already have in place and for quite a considerable wage someone who is not available to participate in ccc games for sometime. Sounds like Pulis and come to that Gimme is injured too? If he signs very puzzling. Youth being discarded already?

Thomson is a star on the right and is our future let us not throw our objective away to-day. We seem to be buying in more and more which seems to defeat the statement we have no money and that is why supposedly Manager Pearson went and players like Davies (who was happy to stay until shown the door) None of this makes sense now.

If I get the job I will put a good word in for you and if we end up being doomed I will be the first to blame JP and of course you. Onwards and upwards. Things WILL get better.
