This really is one of the best Saints blogs out there, love it. Even the title of it tells it's own story. Keep up the good work mate.

He would add experience to the squad straight away, but I don't think he'd necessarily improve it to the degree we all want. I don't want us to get back into the habit of signing players for players sake, just because their experienced. We had a squad of dross last time in the premier league. I'd hope the signings we make are better than any of our current players, and I'm not sure Zat is to be honest.

I'm stunned at his lack of impact at Stoke to be honest. He was terrific at Spurs and lost his way through injury, it seems that the same injury problems have followed him to Stoke. There's no doubting that he is a terrific player though, a proper premier league box to box midfielder. If he can get over his injury problems I'd take him in a shot.

Seems like a Reading sort of signing.

Most managers are a fan of Adam, Wolves wanted him more than most though. It probably comes as no suprise to you, but I was told that our most saught after player is Morgan.

Well I thought i'd catch up on this thread and read lots of interesting views on Michu, obviously not then.

He's not on twitter, that's a spoof account.

If Holt, Graham, Pilkington and Bennet haven't got calls up - after their decent seasons, then Lambert and Lallana will need to rip up the league to stand a chance.

An attacking goal scoring midfielder, nice. Ignore the penalty miss in that video though. To be fair this is probably a pipe dream as Man Utd were looking at him in March.

who to believe...?

And with 1year left on his contract, a scary asking price. That's what you get with young english players though. We would save so much money looking abroad. Newcastle got Cisse for something like 7m

Jay on his way...?

The fact that team cost £83m is criminal. It should be an offence to waste that much money.

I have no idea how a player of so little ability can manage to do that. Crazy.

I assume you're trying to be funny.

Blimey, my posts were good Seriously though, the initial reactions to Adkins were moronic. I bet you my bottom dollar that if we had gone for this ''MASSIVE NAME'' that many craved, we wouldn't have done as well. Just my thought.

Really interesting looking back at that. When you read the reasons behind the choices of WHU, Lecister etc, then you look at where we finished and it looks an even more remarkable achivement.

That's awful. Lack of any research what so ever. not worth reading.

Scary thread. We done everything right in the last close-season, absoloutley everything. It was near on perfection. Same again this year please.

I reckon it's going to be a case of either Matt Phillips or Jarvis - who would you take? Phillips has arguably more pace.

This will probably be a drab non-event that ends 0-0, as all of these big matches turn out to be.

What did you expect? South today will be a bit better, but expect them to focus on Reading.

He'd only be a loan here, and Chelsea wouldn't want him to sit on the bench. He made a total clanger last night though to be fair, but he's proven to be a very good keeper for Atheltic Madrid. I'm sure Chelsea see him as the long-term replacement for Cech.
