Dreadful - Impossibly difficult to navigate and find anything - shocking actually. I'd like to know who they used to design the site so that I never get anywhere near them......

Not true - silly quote. One of those people who rate a player purely on the transfer value not the quality of the player...

Fox doesn't help lallana either! Fox continually drifts way out of position excluding lallana from the passage of play. It is Fox who is a misfit that presents the biggest problem. The FOx issue will be further exasperated with the different system this year......FOx cannot defend and his positional play is very suspect. Whilst lallana may not be the best defender nor is Fox and it's his job! A new left back is rightly a priority.....

Sorry I know it's not fashionable to say this but I really do thing that Dan is better than Fox. Watch fox stand yards away from opponents wide player while he crosses- he never goes to close him and stop the cross coming in. He also rarely overlaps-cutting inside which often leaves AL removed from the passage of play while Fox dithers around between penalty area and half way line looking to play it inside. I know he has lots of fans on here but I'm not convinced at all and predict he will be a liability in the prem.

I would love to bring him here just for the joy of rubbing their conceited arrogant Saints hating Warnock's nose in it...................A baffoon! Tallent wise though I agree with lots on here that I'm not sure Snodgrass would give us more than we have already - it's pace which we do not have in bucket loads and neither does Snodgrass though he is a good player.

Very harsh on Seabourne who was not as bad as infer. This season he has looked very assured so far and has shown more potential than Fonte to be very fair. Certainly deserves a good run out against Ajax at the very least. Fonte is the one that is worrying me, he looks nervous and edgy too, he finished last season slightly off the pace and has continued similar. Keep thinking it's a blip but not sure about that now.....

Thought Jack did ok though he plays within himself rather a lot which is why at times for Saints he doesn't effect the game as much as he is capable of...

Correct

De Ridder will not be good enough for the Premier League - end of..............He doesn't know the offside rule for a start!

Well I think lets give it a go. I'm not as sure that we did defend corners that well last season. Off course we have a goalie who likes to stay on his line so this does put a lot of pressure on the defenders at corners......Corners are tough for us so yes it could be a good idea.....

To be honest he wasn't a bad little player imo..

Plus Fox is too often caught out out of position and actually doesn't support AL very well at all - Sorry, I just can't take to Fox - not convinced at all....

Certainly agree that Cork looked very promising on the right against Cov and well worth looking at that again seeing as we are so weak there. Also Cork was often not outstanding in the central role last year....

This post is a wind up yes? It would appear that you did not watch the Euros or you would not have made that curious statement.....

Whilst I appreciate Jack Cork is decent and I,m glad as he is a Saints player I really can not see it and particularly in ahead of AL, it just doesn't make any sense.......

No you are 'deluded'..........Why would it be that just because you have a pemiership label you are 'good enough' . There are players in the Championship who are as good or in some cases better that premiership players - labels don't mean a thing. There will be players in our team who have probably been enquired about by premier clubs when we were in the lower leagues so just because they don't move doesn't mean they are not premier standard! We have had several instances whereby we sell a player to Arsenal or other teams and suddenly overnight they are worthy of an international call up! The stigma of players having to be at big clubs in the prem to be good enough is restricting our choice and hence competition for places in the England set up. Watch the film Money Ball. We are in a society that is addicted to brands and labels. England managers over the years have been the worst at sticking to players who fit the big boys criteria rather than the best players for purpose. Window cleaner is entirely correct - if don't wear the premiership badge on your arm and preferable play for the top six or eight you can more or less forget it. The big clubs don't know it all - God, Dalgliesh paying 20 odd million for Henderson says an awful lot !!!!

Like Milner you mean!!!!!

You really are well wide of the mark there. Whilst AL has his faults running around like a 'headless chicken' is most definitely not one of them. You obviously don't watch games - Rediculous comment....

I'll say it.........I didn't see why the likes of Parker, Young and Milner were so outstanding that they warranted a place in the England team. Why do we continue to pick unskillful 'runners' that will never win us anything at a major tournament? AL is miles ahead of these guys and he should have been there. I know Parker is a central midfielder but you where I'm coming from and indeed AL can play there too!

The ticket selling arrangements have been terrible at the club for quite a while - actually beggars belief on all tickets sales !!!

Good Luck Dennis - top guy......

Note to Ian Holloway.........We are playing Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal in our first four games! Message ends.....

Ummm can't say I agree with you any of that!

So we sign a player who is 'better' than what we have and he is only backup to Kelvin - how precisely does does that make sense. You intimate that Kelvin is still your No 1. If we bring someone 'better' in and they are 'better' they should play. It's no good sitting on fences where we will be playing - I think I smell a hint of sentimentality in your post which is always dangerous........

Eric Martin was class and should have played for his country. As far as I know he he never had a look in.......
