I thought this was a potential big 4 player we were tracking ?

Is that Yoshida on the art of defending against Italy by any chance ?

Where in Bournemouth was that then ?

to make it an Arsenal shirt !

Try Toffs. http://www.toffs.com/Southampton/products/775/

More replace one older (57) manager, who perhaps has not returned all the trophies they desire, with one of the best up and coming managers in Europe * . * or is this perhaps a view not widely shared after all ?

But then people would say we've copied Ajax. Why do that when we can look like a Charlton, Swindon, Crewe or Bristol City ?

All of it - or so our CEO seems to wish.

Isn't this more likely to create a vacancy in Spain to attract Pochettino, rather than us think about bringing his mentor in here ?

What he said !

The hideous red creation is more in keeping with a club the standard of Swindon or Crewe.

Didn't hold Sir Alex back in his career.

But not in the team at the same time perhaps ? Too many "violinists" to use Lawrie's phrase.

Remember the late 80's/90's Saints in Conventional Kit (SICK) Campaign ? Even Rupert Lowe agreed a supporter's vote on the shirt.

He didn't stay through it though, if memory is correct. He joined PSG or someone on loan and returned to Spurs some while after hostilities had finished. He never had the same popularity afterwards though.

But it may not just be blustering by the Argentinian government that could rock the boat is it ? A few choice headlines in the tabloids, being abused week in week out at away fixtures etc etc. Views expressed in the dressing room and so on. Although a bit more than blustering in 1982 it was enough for Ardiles, who otherwise seemed a level headed bloke rather than a playboy footballer,(or "bellend") to move away.

Didn't he sing "One night in Bangkok" ? Perhaps a cryptic connection to Banega's uploaded video of himself.

Spot the p1ss take

Not sure that's the case apart from the post immediately above yours. I'm in agreement with the doubts raised below to be honest. Could easily disrupt harmony "on the bus". But then again, perhaps Pochettino is a type who might tame and contain him.

And who for the Liebherr Trophy ? Espanyol ?

So great player potentially but a career in Spain so far tarnished by car issues ( just unlucky I'm sure especially it rolling back over his foot ), video tapes of "lewd sex acts" , night clubbing, and arriving at training still under the influence. Let's hope Puncheon can put him under his protective wing and sort him out if he joins.

I don't know enough about him other than what I have read on here, and from the obligatory youtube clips, but he looks a neat ball player, and passer. Given the choice though I still think we need a 'nasty bastard' in midfield to compliment Morgan and Cork. Of those mentioned Naingollen looks to fit the bill more closely.

Oxford Utd

gerry forrest

I know that one David, is it Princess Anne ? (with apologies to younger posters)
