  1. Fonte and Clyne are off ax well aren't they Boruc Stephens. Turnbull. Yoshida. Targett. Cork. Reed. Isgrove. McQueen. Rowe. Gallagher
  2. I thnk you might just have stumbled upon a key part of the boards master plan Maybe Pochettino was right to leave Saints
  3. Not that one - they've got a new buyer on the hook
  4. If the club can't keep hold of Pochettino I doubt they have the ambition to buy a good manager out of a contract at another club - so it will be someone who is already out of a job - or at club lower down the leagues The favourites must be Lennon, Petrescu and Oscar Garcia I'd have Adkins back but why would he leave Reading - a club who are just about to be bought by a billionaire - all be it a Chelsea fan What worries me is if Pochettino does go Lallana, Shaw, Schneiderlin and Lovren will almost certainly follow hm out of the door for Champions League football And I imagine Fonte and Cork won't sign new contracts so I expect they'll go as well as the club tries to cash in on them when they still have a year on their contracts Wanyama, Clyne and Rodriguez will probably want out as well - to bigger, better and more ambitious clubs I expect Lennon will want the job - and perhaps his only saving grace is he'll keep Wanyama happy and maybe bring Fraser Forster with him Still it could be worse we could be Norwich I suppose
  5. Is ill be vey disappointed in Liebherr, Pochettino and Krueger if that's true. to Spurs of all clubs - a joke of a football club at the best if times - so what does that make us!? If Katherine Liebherr doesn't even want to keep Saints where they are she should sell the club and move on Letting Pochettino go will Lead to an exodus of our best players - they have all more or less said they will leave
  6. Bad day for football - QPR getting promoted and Real Madrid winning the Champions League. Both clubs proving financial fair play is a joke! I have no love for Derby after the play-off at Pride Park and the way their fans behaved - but I think I detest 'Arry Redknapp more. And don't give me the Bale stuff - he left us for Spurs, for the money and too early - and we got nowhere near enough money for him - plus he's Welsh
  7. That could just as easily be one of the security/access gates at St Mary's - or the new traing ground. Cortese turned everything black, grey and silver fom the old red and white
  8. I think it's time for Ramirez to go - he's not really suited to the Premier league - he just not dynamic enough in possession or when trying to get the ball back Let's hope he has a good World Cup so we can get most of our money back for him We need a right winger and some pace - so for me Scott Sinclair would be a good replacement for Gaston at £2-3 million - he does need some TLC though As for replacing Lallana we should solve two problems in one - and swap Osvaldo with Valencia for some cash and Banega. Valencia are apparently interested in The Great Osvaldo and look like they want to get rid of Banega as he's on loam at Newells Old Boys at the moment And if QPR and the twitcher fail to get promoted I'd replace Osvaldo with Charlie Austin for £6-7 million We still need another good forward though - Lukaku or Piazon on loan from Chelsea would do And I'd also go after someone like Henri Lansbury or Josh McCreacham to give us another attacking option in midfield We also need another left back whatever happens - Ryan Bertrand or that Timothee Kolosomething sounds good to me - and Steven Caulker would add the defender we need as well
  9. I have to agree with that - he should have been appointed Chairman with a new Chief Executive/Managing Ditector working under him
  10. I was kinda suggesting if and I mean if we lost both Lallana and Morgan Schneiderlin. Hopefully Banega would give us the creativity we would need from midfield and Jack Rodwell the running of Schneiderlin.
  11. If we do lose Lallana, Lovren, Shaw and Morgan - as well as Gaston and Osvaldo how about: Steve Caulker and Davide Astori - to strengthen the defence Ever Banega and Jack Rodwell in midfield Scott Sinclair and Danny Ings upfront Alberto Moreno at left back
  12. Meant to say if we sell Shaw we need to replace him with at least two left backs - eg Bertrand @£7 million and the Polish/French player Timothee Kolo for about the same cost for example Please just not Buttner in part exchange Alberto Moreno from Sevilla for £15 million would be my first choice We can't rely on Targett to step up in the same way Shaw has done - not yet anyway
  13. No he wasn't - he was past it - his legs had gone and he was injury prone - we should have taken the extra £2 or £3 million instead. The real shame is Jelle Van Damme didn't live up to the expectation - at £2.5 million he would have been a real bargain if he had. We wasted the Bridge money on Van Damme, Neil McCann and Le Saux. Without Bridge Marsden was just an average central midfielder so we lost 2 players for the price of one - and got 3 failures in one go. It was the sale and failure to replace Bridge and the left wing of the team that started the slide to our relegation. We should have signed Steed Malbranque but that way Lowe and Co wouldn't have pocketed a couple of million. If we sell Lallana for £25 million its going to cost is the best part of that if not all to replace him - or we are going to have to change the way we play dramatically
  14. The problem with that is if either Lallana or Pochettino leaves it will be the exit that starts the exodus . Both Lovren and a Morgan will probably follow them out the door for Champions League football. I think we could cope with losing just Shaw - but no one on else really. It goes without saying that Osvaldo, Hooiveld, Do Prado, K Davis and Ramirez should be leaving whatever else happens And why would De Boer come to Saints leaving a champions league Ajax for us - you could same the same about Spurs - but I'd be very surprised if he did.
  15. Maybe if they offered us £15 million in cash plus Josh McCrachan in part exchange and then loaned us Romelu Lukaku and Lucas Piazon I might think about it
  16. Without JRod we have no pace in the team. And every time we get an injury to one of the first 11 we are in trouble - we have no strength in depth outside of rightback and possibly central midfield. Boruc missing proving the point as well. We need a centre forward, a right winger, a left back, centre back and another goalkeeper at a minimum over the summer. Let's hope we can get rid of Osvaldo and Gaston in the summer for more or less what we paid for them and replace them with players that will actually give something to the team. Fingers crossed they both have great world cups!
  17. It will be Huawei
  18. Motorola Solutions partnered with Kingston Telecom to put WiFi in at Hull City. As they are based in Basingstoke Motorola were also talking to Saints but it all went dead when the sponsorship team disappeared at the start of the season Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have WiFi in the stadium bowls already as well I think - both as part of sponsorship deals
  19. The problem is he's not a centre forward - he's a second striker - at his best when playing behind someone - dropping deep and wide to pick up the ball - and attacking the space behind a front man - he's also very good at bullying the fullback in the air when the cross comes from deep But he's not good at leading the line, bullying centre backs or playing on the shoulder of ten centre backs He was always at his best when playing with Barnard or Connolly in front of him - as one of the front 2 when we played 4-2-2-2 or in the hole when we played 4-2-3-1 with Lallana and Puncheon out wide (depending on how you saw that formation). He has lost a bit of pace and stamina this season - but mostly the way we are playing doesn't suit him. The front three were great against Fulham - but that was partly because all three were on fire and a Fulham were so bar I'd be tempted to play 4-3-2-1 against Palace with Jayrod up front, Lallana and a Gaston behind him with a license to roam, Cork sitting in front of the defence and Morgan and Davis pressing. Lambert would be on the bench if we needed to go more direct in the late stages - going 4-2-3-1 or switch to a diamond midfield to keep the ball and kill the game - in both cases he'd replace Gaston (not sure he can last more than 60 mins or track back and win the ball) At the moment we dont really have the players to work a 4-3-3 but that is what we are trying to do - and we don't seem to have a plan B either
  20. Should have bought him instead of Osvaldo
  21. To be honest I was expecting us to lose this game. I was hoping we'd give it a real go - but suspected we wouldn't - and surprise surprise we didn't. I was going to watch the game but when I saw the line up I thought I'm not gong to bother - the club's not going to so why should I - went shopping instead. As for the result It simply told us what we already know - we have no strength in depth - outside of one or two positions - ok maybe 3 - we don't have any players we can bring in to the first 11 that will keep the standard high enough. As it is we are missing a centre forward, a left back and a right winger from the first team. We just don't have any strength on the bench outside of right back. The Sunderland starting 11 even with 9 changes was simply better than the second string team we can put out. We may just about have the better first 11 but they have a stronger squad. It's either our first 11 or nothing for us I'm afraid. Instead of paying £15 million for a prima doña from Italy and £12 million for someone from the Scottish Premier League we need to be buying players fro between £6-8 million that will give us some strength in depth. Maybe we're happy to wait for the kids to develop but if so we are going to be treading water for a while - and still vulnerable to a minor injury crisis wrecking our season
  22. I'd swap him with Citeh for Jack Rodwell. Big Vic has only had about 3 good games for us - he's still struggling with the pace of the English game and he's not exactly a great passer of the ball. I thought he'd taken a few games to adjust - and was playing OK - but then the last couple of games before he got injured he was terrible again. Jack Cork is a much better players for us - and the way we play. Yet another players fails to step up from Scottish football shocker! The Scottish Premier League is like League One - but without the physicality!
  23. Danny Ings, Charlie Austin, Kieran Trippier, Henri Lansbury could all step up to the Prenier League
  24. Burnley would be mad to sell Danny Ings now - he could be the man whose goals get them promoted to the Premier League and that is worth far more than anyone will pay them for him
  25. Maybe the big surprise will be Pato for €15 million!
