S-Clarke

They left for spain last night - Fonte has been in Southampton since friday, so i'd guess that's given him enough time to collect a few bits and fly out as well. Would be surprised if he didn't tbf.

I hope Murty can stay fit when he comes back, he's our best RB when he plays. It's not a bad team at all - but we'll need to find a place to play Stock he'd walk into the team. I think Pard's favored formation is the 4-5-1/4-3-3 - this is the formation we have played the best football in and have looked exciting. We had wotton playing the holding role for us - but i can see morgan excelling in that role, as a ''Pirlo'' type deep sitting playmaker. With Hammond and Stock driving from midfield to the edge of the box, it has the makings of a very functional and consistent midfield - which is something we're crying out for.

''we dont have half our ground close cause we cannot afford to police it !'' no, they don't close half their ground - they just don't pay the police anyway. morons.

Agreed, the fact hardings conceded more down his side is due to our lack of a real left sided player in front of him. Lallana has improved massively in the last month in that side of his game though.

thanks for that, i think im now back ITK.

oh yeah - forgot about that. Guess we'll have to wait until the middle of next week to find out.

well you were right about the first one.. wasn't your 2n'd bit of info regarding us getting Matty Fraytt? that would be amazing.

it doesn't seem to have been as ''strong'' as the stock and fonte links. you never know though.

http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=184&fid=96&sty=2&act=1&mid=2123320111 that's all i could find. Started by a saints fan (bit of a stupid tone by him as well tbf), but none of them believe it - they say he's too good for L1. but one of them does say his wife moved south the other month and his family live in the city..

Cortese has come in and has set standards, every single part of this ''business'' now needs to be run 100%, if there is any slacking that's where you'll see people being fired. I know that there aren't many pre-administration staff left at the club, alot of them have been let go over the months. It's been such a massive restructure (which is still on going). Cortese is a man who knows what he wants and he knows how to get it, he hasn't been this successful and hasn't gained such a good reputation in world-wide banking for being a pillock. I always felt that being ruthless was the key with saints, the last thing we needed were a bunch of people coming in and approaching the situation in a ''softly, softly'' way, with little change. Unfortunately you can't afford to have too much sentiment in this world. I personally know people who have lost their jobs at St Mary's in the past few months - it is a shame for them, but you often find this approach in big business restructures. The way Wotte was removed confirmed to me how they were going to play this game.

Leeds 1 - 1 Wycombe the title is still ours

completely echoed. Couldn't be happier.

must be, he's been frozen out at Cov for almost 12 months - not a bad player, but as Pards said...sometimes they need a change. pretty sure it must be him.

we won't be far off by the end of the month though...

who's mccormack?

they're taking the players to train in spain

15mins, he's on the M27 and cannot pull over atm

they can't get hold of pards..... prob trying to tie up the other deals

Ward hasn't been included in the Cov. squad today. He's been included on the bench most of the season...

if i was a pompey fan, other than stinking of fish, I'd be fearing the worst after hearing that.

''We're not going to have a fire sale'' ''every player has their price'' ''we don't need to sell any players'' ''i think it's inevitable some players will leave, we have a big squad'' ok, what do you believe....spin of the highest order.

lol @ this guy, brilliant

but then, what do we do with brian stock (if/when he comes)??? great problem for pards to have

yeah - well according to the palace forums. I was reading through their match reports/motm reports etc - he features in them a fair bit and he always seems to be on the right hand side. He's scored a few goals this year too.
