They've got to take down pretty much all of the player images, I'd imagine.

Who knows. He has openly expressed a desire to play in the PL as soon as possible.

Wouldn't have expected Watson to be gettable, incredibly highly regarded in the game. very good work saints.

Seriously, STFU. You are becoming the most pointless poster ever, even worse than Alpine. Say something that means something, or just go away.

He is simply pointless.

Only way to look at it really. Seems pointless to just be depressed about it all, especially with who we've got in charge of the team now. Quite excited at seeing us potentially build a new team with a transfer pot this club has never seen, but at the same time you do get the feeling that it's all a bit pointless seeing as we already had a good team!! But never mind, life goes on, football evolves and we must evolve along with it. Time for a new 5 year plan. The last one couldn't have gone much better.

Slight difference is that they're keeping Evra, Rafael, Rooney, RVP, Mata, Nani - and they are then adding to it by buying top level players above a level of which we can sign. So, it's nothing like that. It's probably slightly OTT by tdd, but I get the jist of it and it is very frustrating that we're about to see a dismantling of a team which is pretty much unprecedented - especially for a club not in any obvious financial issues. I'm however hopeful that the money will be reinvested and we can attract players of a decent calibre - Roland Koeman will be a key part in that, and who we now bring in will make or break the short-term future of this club, that's for sure. I think everyone needs to prepare themselves for a pretty bumpy one next year, I doubt we'll be in the top half a great deal - but new teams take time.

Makes me think we have higher targets.

Would be rubbish, as she was with me all night.

Would take a damn good fee to get him, fine player.

Him and Wanyama in midfield, 'you shall not pass'

If we are relying on either of those 2 next season, then we are ****ed.

Anything that annoys brighton is good for me.

To be honest though, no wonder he's excited. It's like being handed a real life version of football manager to play with, and build a team after a sugar daddy has made £100m available for transfers.

I think he's snuck Classie into the bottom case.

Can only see him being used as support to the Development and U18 roles - maybe a prominent role working between both set-ups?

I don't quite understand how he was able to promise all of this, when it wasn't even his $$$. He's just like an Italian Peter Risdale in that effect. If he was so true to his word, he would have attempted a takeover with one of the many backers he had lined up should our current owners decide to pull back slightly. Where is he?

Pretty certain he's a skate on a windup.

Still a little baffled as to why he's a ****? Good player, gave us seasons of success and quality, stayed with us in divisions he was never really supposed to be in. He now has probably his one and only chance of a big career move, and it doesn't always occur for every player. He deserves his crack and I think he at least deserve a little respect and gratitude from us, him and Lambert have almost single handily got us where we are right now!

TBF there were other videos, but from like 2/3 years ago. This was the only recent one, and it's actually quite interestingly, showing his input into FC Twente's match against RK's Feyernord last season.

I think this one has got to the stage whereby it warrants it's own thread now.... Valid links here: http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/485295/Southampton-look-to-beat-Liverpool-and-Everton-to-Dusan-Tadic-after-Luke-Shaw-departure (Although they quite clearly don't know who Tadic is, given they're saying he's a Shaw replacement) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2668367/Dusan-Tadic-Southamptons-radar-boss-Ronald-Koeman-eyes-reinforcements.html and a dutch source too: http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/buitenlands/22785786/__Koeman_shopt_in_eredivisie__.html And he's an obligatory youtube video: I'd see it as a bit of a coup if we get him to be honest, and given our financial strength, FC Twente's financial situation, our requirement for a player of his style and RK's admiration of the player....it seems very possible.

Well, I wouldn't expect Clyne to be happy. All his mates going, and he's seemingly been demoted to 2nd choice right back. The emergence of chambers, whilst has been good for us, has been to the detriment of Clyne who does deserve to play most weeks, tbh.

Tadic is a very good player, could easily adapt out of that league IMO - he's probably too good for it, truth being told. Quite a powerful and determined little player, and full of skill. The lallana replacement I'd have thought.

Barca, believe it or not, are willing to sell him. Price is around 20mill euros.

Surely they only need to terminate the loan?
