There does not seem to be much uncertainty to me SFC have said VVD is not for sale and there have been no bids

What evidence is there that he is not staying

Yes you are right it is never over until the fat lady sings which is a colloquialism which is often used as a proverb. It means that one should not presume to know the outcome of an event which is still in progress. More specifically, the phrase is used when a situation is (or appears to be) nearing its conclusion. It cautions against assuming that the current state of an event is irreversible and clearly determines how or when the event will end. The phrase is most commonly used in association with organized competitions, particularly sports.

Why should we stick to our guns surely we should be planning the way forward without VVD which may entail keeping VVD but on the other hand it may not Lets wait and see what SFC decide to do and what input the new owner gives

Do you not realise that Ward-Prowse is one of the best crossers of the ball in the PL

Well VVD thinks there is one

Yes I agree but probably not in Liverpool

What would your comments have been if Redmond and Bertrand had done better with their chances and both scored

Thanks for that I would offer to subsidise your research but at only £2.75 I will not bother. I was walking the Thames Path with some friends on Thursday and I pint of Brakspears cost me £4.50 but it was a really good pint

As a matter of interest how much is a pint in Huddersfield - Miss Whistle

I don't know why you don't **** off and support another club which has more financial clout I don't believe you go to many games if any so you are not providing much revenue for the club to buy and pay better players. I am a realist and accept SFC are a pretty good second tier PL club where the players are not performing well at the moment but hope they will improve in the next few weeks. I have been supporting the team since the late 1950's and in general the team has been performing in general as well as it has in the last 60 years except for a period 40 years ago or so when we managed to have some seriously good players playing for the club. That Period commencing with the FA cup win was a bit of a blip really which could not be sustained especially with the advent of the PL where the big clubs buy the best players I quite enjoy following and watching the Saints but you don't seem to so why do you do it as you are always whining and whingeing ?

Does it really matter how bad we were last year What matters surely is that for the last few months we have not been very good how many goals have we scored in open play at home when opponents are usually happy to defend and hope for the best in attack

I agree but when were we last any good I feel we have been poor since the League Cup Final The manager usually gets the blame but the players most of whom are earning over a £million a year surely must take the responsibility we are pretty impotent when it comes to scoring goals

So VVD is on his way?

Don't get me wrong I think he is a great signing but it just seems too good to be true or maybe I have been brain washed by some of the knobs on here that Les Reed and his team are pretty crap and will never bring in any decent players. I get the impression he is pretty ambitious and wants to prove himself before moving on but that is only based on what he has said in the media in short interviews

Just cannot understand if he is the Dogs Bollix why he cant get into the Lazio team and nobody else wants him £15m seems cheap if he is as good as people say. It really would be great if he does develop into a top class CB but at the moment it seems too good to be true as it seems to be a really excellent signing So who is going to make way for him Yoshi or Stephens or will VVD be back after the International break I doubt he will be a starter against Huddersfield

I imagine Sam would like to go and play at Birmingham rather than stay and hope that Austin Long and Gabbi get injured

Since he has just signed a five year contract I think the club are happy with him. Just another whingeing thread moaning about our players

But we ****ing won so whats the problem Next week you will be whingeing about something else footballers like people are not perfect so just accept sometimes we will win sometimes we will lose. We have a decent squad so lets get behind and see how the season pans out . Per

The problem with your analysis is that if Stephens does not play he will not get any better he is not the finished article but eventually he will be as he has got potential it is not as if he is losing us games As supporters I thought we should encourage young players not continually find fault with them

I agree with you but West Ham do seem to have some really good players and the cross from Cresswell for the second goal was excellent

If he had to borrow £180m to buy the club it is highly unlikely he would then sanction extra spending for additional players and any new players as you suggest will be paid for by current revenues. Gao can only really succeed by getting in extra revenue through exploiting the Chinese market I would have thought he is not a property developer so it is unlikely he will redevelope Southampton

He can **** off as far as I am concerned

And so she should
