  1. I think we should invest in a striker we are very lucky to have 4 CBs there is a general shortage of them so I think we will not get one perhaps a loan may happen
  2. Very True we obviously have some A players but on average I would have thought B+ Great result today but I am still not really confident we will be in the top 4 at the end of the season but time will tell I still think 5th or 6th
  3. Nice Comment from Robbie Savage "I don't want to hear how bad Manchester United were, Southampton were great They were tactically immense and defensively solid. A well-deserved three points. What a fantastic performance and Southampton were disciplined throughout." Must be one of our best away wins in the PL ever
  4. Hope Spurs lose tonight them and Liverpool seem to be getting some good results recently especially Liverpool who dont have any ex Saints starting
  5. Of course they are B+ players we could never afford A+ ones We will probably finish in a B+ position better than last season
  6. Dont remember Burnside getting much stick he was always a favorite of mine as he scored the final goal in the great FA Cup fight back against Forest in 1963 Melia did because he did not look like a Footballer but he helped us get promotion in 1966 and played every game the following season and I think was a good buy. Lew Chatterley was rubbish did not realise he was Lawrie Mac's brother in law. These days people are too critical after a couple of poor games players are castigated even though they must be pretty good to be chosen to player in a PL team in the first place
  7. I agree MLT was a fine player probably the most skillful player ever he did keep us in the PL but the years he played were not that successful for the club. Paine and Lambert got us two promotions played in World Cups played in European Competitions so that is why I think overall they have contributed more to the club in a positive way. We are now an established PL and were when MLT joined but 50 years ago we were far from that until Bates Paine Chivers Sydenham Knapp et al got us into Div 1
  8. Terry Paine from Winchester and Rickie Lambert from Bristol Rovers were in my opinion the best two signings the Saints ever bought in both England Internationals one a World Cup Winner the other a player in the last World Cup were largely responsible for our rises from the third tier to the top tear. They will always be club legends lets leave it at that

    Jack Cork

    I dont really understand why people are particularly worried about Jack Cork he is a decent player but not outstanding If the Club think that the youngsters are better than him I support them if they want to buy a better player than him I support them too. Of course if they re-sign him I accept that too but I doubt he will be first choice . The club does know what it is doing so lets see what happens
  10. As we are in fourth position I think we should spend big on a Striker to increase our chances of European Football I will be interested in what the Club does like Koemann says our GK Defence and Midfield are excellent but we do miss a lot of goal chances
  11. Well I could be wrong we could get a CL spot after all must admit I did not expect Everton Liverpool Spurs and Arsenal to be so poor perhaps they will play better in 2015 but on todays performances I doubt it. Koemann has done a great job and the players we have brought in I think are much better than the ones we lost I think it maybe time to spend some money on a top class striker to get us a few results
  12. Dont worry we will not be in fourth position at the end of the season probably 7th which is really good
  13. It is seventh and I think we will probably finish in that position in May
  14. I would agree with you if the player was older but as he is a youngster I would think Southampton is an ideal club to develop your skills and start to play in the PL.

    Yoshida

    Yoshida was not very good today at RB not his fault as he is a CB and does not have sufficient pace to play there but unlike most other positions we do not have a reliable player to play there
  16. I think they have done really well got a top English manager moving to the Olympic Stadium 5th in the PL I think their future is bright going to be one of our rivals for the forseable future
  17. Morgan has played for us for seven years and is one of our all time best DM although I want him to stay he deserves to earn as much money as possible as well as French Caps and Titles at another club. I will follow his progress with interest like I do with Dyer Bale Walcott and OXO

    Gardos

    Never seen him play so I was wondering how he has fitted into the Squad
  19. I think you are quite believable Jeff Lambert aint very good anymore.
  20. We dont seem to be getting anybody in according to the Echo http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/11685728.Saints_ready_to_complete_January_business/?ref=twt Koemann makes a decent case
  21. Although it would have been nice to have won I feel a draw was quite a good result - Most reports in the papers suggested we played reasonably well and more than deserved a point. God knows what is going to happen to this board if we do eventually lose
  22. I think there four starting Forster Cylne Shaw OXO and four on the bench Chambers Lallana Walcott and Lambert
  23. From the BBC Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne was highly impressive again, both in defence and attack. There is an opening for a right-back in England's team and he has walked through it. He has shown enough to warrant a good run in the team. And I hope he will not run elsewhere
  24. If he cannot get into Liverpool's team regularly in the bottom half of the PL he is hardly likely to get into a top PL team. Never thought I would say that
