Although I agree with what you are saying I felt the same this time last year and we went on to get promoted

Thats ridiculous If you dont have the players how can you play 4 3 3 well?

I think this is quite an interesting thread but could someone suggest what type of players are required in a 4 3 3 formation because we tried and failed with in under that Dutch chap. Do we needed Stevie Williams and Oxo type players which we dont seem to have

Why not just spend money now instead of waiting until Jan

Seem realistic odds to me Davis Cylne Fonte Hooiveld Fox Guly Schneiderlin Davis Llanna Rod Lambert Seems a good Championship side to me but nowhere near PL standard Hope I am wrong

I totally agree with you Southampton should play in red and white stripes

I would have thought that your post is a load of Bollix. Phillips is a good player and quite rightly Holloway wants to keep him It is very similar to the AOC last year when most Saints Fans were adopting a different opinion

Dont think I can add anymore than I did two years ago But what a two years it has been without him what it would have been with him god only knows

OK thanks did not know about that But I doubt that when they eventually sell they will not recoup the money somehow

I dont recall anyone of any note saying the club is debt free at the moment How can it possibly be so where has the money come to pay for Rodriques etc

In 1976 we were in Div 2 it was 1978 when we returned to Div 1 We did have a slightly more experienced team but money did not matter as much as it does today. Shame that we have such a tough start playing the top three three teams in the first few games but I am fairly confident that we will do OK

It is possible for posters to get things right sometimes although in your case highly unlikely. Delldays makes a very powerful point we do need a top class CB and another two or three other PL standard players if we are to suceed in the PL

Most on here have little knowledge of football

Yes I agree lots of clubs have paid out a shedload of cash on so called quality players who have turned out to be a waste of space. The players signed so far have been pretty good so hopefully another three will be recruited and we will see what happens

Mark Wright

I agree with what you are saying but I would like a couple of really good PL players added to the squad in defence

Totally agree Charlie he is a very under rated player However I would like to see a really top class CB to replace Fonte

I agree he is probably not PL class but is good as quite a few of the others in the squad who are not PL class either including most of the defence

Likewise

It not like he would be joining a top PL team if he came to St Mary's perhaps other clubs are interested in him.

Seems a particularly stupid post .

Based on exactly what

Pretty average player I would have thought but as I have never seen him or heard of him what do I know Only time will tell he may become very good who knows

I think he said the same at Birmingham City The usual Teams Man City Man U Chelsea Arsenal possibly Spurs Liverpool will be Champions League contenders for the forseeable future

Are we going to get this type of crap thread everytime a player who is past his best is released
