Learnt everything I know from you...

yeah that won't happen Tadic will powder puff one down the middle and I'm not convinced Hoj, Davis or Long could get one on target from 12 yards best if we just win it in the 90.

What Razor Ruddock?

Being good at football and being a fans favorite aren't always the same thing.

I'm gutted I missed out on sitting behind the goal but that area was sold out before the third allocation (ST holders no league cup tickets) got involved which makes me think that there must be quite a few in that area that don't sit in the Northam/Itchen North normally. I can see plenty of arguments about standing and being to noisy ?

I'll probably be less upset if he wants to chin Fonte....

So what? Go, don't go I couldn't give a **** nor does anyone else I suspect. Announcing it on saintsweb just makes you look like a cock....

Stop it! We all know nasty Les forced every man jack one of them out of the club to give Kat more spending money for shoes.....

Why do people think anyone gives a **** about whether they renew their season ticket or not....

Hell yeah VVD will rip the championship a new one next season...

lets hope so. Now we just need Puel to change the system so Boufal can play in the middle behind Gabbiadini...

TBF how many teams could handle losing a player of VVDs ability and not suffer? I think Yoshida has shown enough this season not to be a massive downgrade on Fonte but even if we had kept Fonte it wouldn't have made up for losing VVD.

Sounds plausible I will never believe he handed in a transfer request because he was desperate for a dream move to WHU....

Ever - Lambert pips MLT current - JWP I love a trier and he tries hard to be a footballer every week....

Is it new? several different posters have been posting ITK info that Fonte had being causing trouble months before the Jan transfer window opened.

yeah we lose some cash but if he doesn't play or is total carp we are no worse off than now. If he even manages a handful of games at a decent level we are better off.

how can it be made worse?

No its called gambling some times you get away with it some times you don't Les is no different to dozens of bosses I've worked for over the years.

Surely if he is in St Cross he'll hang out in the Bell Inn...

west ham where ****...not sure what that says about us.

It only becomes an act of stupidity, in hindsight, when VVD gets injured. Up to that point Les is probably thinking Yoshida can step up for half a season and the newly returned Gardos can play back up we'd basically still have four centre backs if slightly less quality then in the summer we can get in Fonte's replacement when the market is better. I bet the moment VVD hobbled off against Leicester Les's seat in the directors area turned brown at that point he should have pulled all the stops to get in another CB. Basically Les gambled and lost if VVD hadn't been injured people would be far less worried about Fonte's replacement.

Favourite from the current team as opposed to ever?

Why? the club clearly want to do things a certain way. Sure they go over board on the PR side of it sometimes but they have, generally, been trying to do things in a similar way for the last few years. But no blue print/plan works all the time sometimes **** happens and things go wrong and you have to make the best of it. If we sign this player and it goes against the general "Southampton way tm" of doings things who cares? I d rather they do something to recover the situation than **** all. In the end though it doesn't mean because they occasionally veer away from the chosen path they have to give up the whole road trip.

Jamie Redknapp apparently seemed to think there is no idea how or why he would know. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/761155/Chelsea-news-and-transfers-Virgil-van-Dijk-option

Yeah but there is no way we are replacing VVD like for like. The club will look for someone young with potential Ake fits that mold.
