FF, do you believe we can afford to spend in January? If we can't, I would question how anyone else could, with 1 or 2 obvious exceptions.

Agree with your opinion on team selection. If that team is selected, we'll win by a couple.

Dont see how signing a young international with his best years in front of him as short term. He needs a manager who believes in him and will put his arms around him a bit.

Mane is better playing through the middle, sign a winger to free him up there. I know he polarises opinion, but I reckon Andros Townsend would be an excellent signing. I'm just going to get my crash helmet on .

Would like us to sign Koeman on a longer contract.

Where did that performance come from! Absolutely superb, well done Ronald.

I don't particularly rate Reed or Kruger. But a protest? Way over the top.

Formation not working. Let's go 4-4-2, we've got to try something different.

Maybe as supporters we are too entrenched in the Rupert Lowe Way.

I absolutely don't see it that way. We had immigration before the EU and we'll have it after. What we don't have now is any control over it.

Would be good to see Chambers at RB and Soares at RM.

I think the 'In' campaign will be a very negative one, and you've probably written their campaign message.

Quite right. The return of democracy.

Part of a deal involving Wanyama? They might chuck Sanchez in as well.

Just my opinion. I take it you disagree

Great.

We are playing in the wealthiest league in the world, and are about the only club that generates a profit on transfers. We also have one of the lowest wage bills in the division. I refuse to believe that we can't spend decent money. I absolutely believe that the club don't want to. They sell the 'Southampton Way' as some sort of miracle, in the same way as the yanks peddle the 'American Dream'.

We also had to pay wages to the players we sold. So I don't agree that the revenue has to finance transfers and wages.

Good post, I especially agree with your estimate of how much money Ronald should have available. Either that, or Reed and Kruger are feeding us bullsh*t. I don't think the supporters will be fooled.

FF, why do you think he'll cut it at Premier level when he can't even cut it at MK Dons?

A very compelling argument. Changed my mind.

Fair enough. But isn't that like saying a fisherman would vote in as well because there are directives on fishing?

I think Koeman is a very good manager, but he is nowhere near Poch at developing players. That said, you can't make a sows ear into a silk purse.

Real shame. He made Match of the Day what it still is today - the best football programme on the telly.

I am voting out, even if Cameron gets his 4 conditions agreed. We still wouldn't have full control of our borders, and some of his conditions seem so wishy washy we wouldn't see any difference anyway.
