Would suggest the manager is going no where then? Can't see us getting in a player so obviously tied to the current manager if we plan to sack him.

Like Crook would have a clue.

****

I seem to recall some German CB who was already to sign but then upped his wage demands at the last minute and the whole thing fell through.

And be injured the day after, for the rest of the season, after picking up a nasty injury during his first training session...

is Olufela Olemola back from Yeovil now? I thought someone on here said he was. If we are short of strikers is he not worth a punt?

We don't really have any proof the club have ever seriously considered Sturridge do we? There was enough stuff in the press, from the manager and from ITKs on here to say we were certainly interested Walcott. I'm really not convinced we were interested in a sick note Liverpool, allegedly, value at £50 million.

probably didn't want to upset the local Spartak fans....they seem nice

well you can see why he might want to leave Russia.... Spartak Moscow: Russian club's head of media fined for 'racist' tweet http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42793453

I believe it's 3pm Neverland time...

Probably Ralph giving MoPe his public backing...

Yeah the pre game guess the scorer competition was getting a bit desperate at one point with so few goals to chose from.

Yes it is. To be honest its been the most entertaining part of most home games this season at least you see goals.

Manager sacked New signing Some random new sponsor/partner (my money is on this one) Les/Ralph rally call (let's hope not)

Normally I'm up for the cups and all for playing strong teams. When a club like ours are comfortably mid table we should be having a good go at the cups...however given our current predicament and lack of squad depth, due to injuries and form, I wouldn't be bothered about a second string and save our best team for the Brighton game.

It's only an opportunity if Silva actually wants the saints job though. Everyone keeps talking like he'd be desperate to take on a struggling side.

It's a bit mad though when Bournemouth are the 28th richest club in the world.....

form can change though look at Palace and Watford the fact there is only 6 pts between 20th place and 10th means we aren't dead and buried yet

Manchester City consolidated their place in the top five and Leicester City rose to 14th, from 20th*last year, with television revenue the biggest single revenue stream for all of the 20 richest clubs Whilst all Premier League clubs benefited from the improved broadcast deals, it was Southampton and Leicester’s performance in European competitions which saw them gain their highest ever respective positions. so a short term bubble then?

Ha and they complained about us over pricing VVD no one is surely going to take a punt on the sick note for 50 million?

can we assume though that had he come here and started the season well he would have ****ed us over for Everton after 10 games....probably a lucky escape then.

Meh if we survive he can spout as much propaganda crap as he likes I won't care one bit. Its hardly like anyone listens now anyway the last two seasons have rather killed the Southampton way.

Apparently they want to play Sessengon as a winger so I guess they want a solid full back behind him to allow him to get forward.

Thing is despite the changes in style and managers one thing that hasn't changed over recent seasons is our reliance on full backs getting forward and attacking something Targetts lack of pace let's him down on imo.

Isn't that what world class players do make it look easy....
