Sorry mr factoid. I guess not playing tonight indicates he is off though.

I think that's fair. But I think we all thought we'd get at least one more season out of him as competition before he left. What's more Clyne and Chambers provided slightly different capabilities, almost a tactic change option. Big loss.

He's injured - not bottled it. The evil in me wants to think Wanyama is the most disappointed man tonight.

Good point. He may be a useful cover man and provide competition for a steady LB. But, currently, if he gets injured we are in trouble.

Yep. Perhaps we'll generate some optimism yet but it is looking increasingly like Koeman was brought in for his track record of rebuilding broken teams by using youth. Won't work in this League. We tried it with Lowe.... and we're selling our best ones anyway!

I would guess he does.

I disagree - Clyne or me. But we had RB covered well.... Until now

I'm surprised we didn't spot this. He's not featured in preseason... There have been rumours but nothing else. I hope this isn't true I really do. I sense the protestors will prepare to march shortly.

Cheer on your Boardroom and owner Goatboy. Your lack of ambition and condescension to those with constructive opinion on this forum is exactly what out lack of ambitious club deserve. God I hope we survive in the Premier a League this season.

Even more sadly... Won't have anything else to talk about other than a relegation fight.

Total cock

It was a friendly. But, it lacked the necessary quality. Tonight made me worried... and then Calum Chambers deserted(?)

My family just asked me why we bothered to renew our season tickets. As a family we've supported Saints for nearly 18 years together - through thick and lots of thin. Never heard that before. Giving up.

Fire sale. fact. We are in the ****. And by the way, tonight's performance at Bournemouth was rubbish.

Good news. But where's the reinforcements?

We need 6 - we will sign two more.

QPR over Saints? I refuse to believe we wanted him.

I think Woy is going to be booed at Saint Mary's.

Good point. Although I am discounting Morgan and Lovren from that.

Doesn't look impressive anymore. I count x5 Premier League quality players in that lot.

Aim high and demonstrate ambition and you'll finish higher than you ordinarily would've. No ambition and all your players and manager leave and you finish below your target. Simple really. Hope he fails, but I think he'll better last years placing.

Lol

Agree - can't see that being a good piece of business.

I think most people here realise that the start of the path to administration was a poor Boardroom, lack of investment in the 1st team, loss of key players and all that after finishing 8th.... ring a bell? This time we have an owner, a good manager and some cash in the bank. Fingers crossed we invest in players... fingers crossed. Theres no reason to make the same mistakes again.

Hope thats not the opening game of the season!
