Saint Fan CaM

Spurs at home.

Great signing - at long last done. I do wonder about how those who get excited about the 'record club fee'! How long ago was Delap signed for £4m? What would that be worth in todays money? Put's a little bit of perspective on things perhaps - i.e. we've not spent big - yet.

Anyone know if FIFA 12 has Saints in the Prem? And if you buy this version, can you update the squad with any new signings at the end of the transfer windown? Ta.

I'll believe it when I see it on the OS and not a moment before. (;

Very good pre-season. No messing about - well done NC, NA and team.

Surprising development - never thought it would be Martin who went out on loan. Agree with those suggesting we will be getting in 2 new CB's - there's no way Seaborne is good enough for Prem unfortunately. If it's true we're going for two new CB's, that's pretty incredible in itself to be honest - looks like we're going to be seeing more signings than we previously thought?!

Come on guys - this ain't gonna happen. I mean which first choice starter would he displace? Surely not Hammond, Schneiderlin, Guly, Lallana, Cork or Chaplow? Surely none of those guys...? (;

Wow - looks like the Saints transfer rumour mill is really starting to get very sluggish. With no signings (yet), it's getting a bit boring really - bring on the new season! Blimey, even the Euros is starting to look exciting with so little else going on! LOL

Quite different actually.

Both of these are great and in fact I actually prefer the white sleeves as there's more white involved - clearly there's the Arse connection bit it's quite different for us - will cause a stir beyond the club I would imagine. I would buy these shirts f'sure as they are different (I like different) and I didn't buy last years for obvious reasons.

Totally this.

Would be a top signing - it ain't gonna happen though I don't think. Plus I'm not sure we should be thinking about loan players - they don't work out so well when we're trying to retain a squad spirit that's as close as the one we've enjoyed for the last 2-3 years.

Dann would be an ideal choice - like Jos at Celtic, he has not been given a good chance in a progressive team and his age is right to develop with the squad. Is he left or right footed - anyone?

Bit of a bargain for £1m TBF, but I cannot see this guy fitting in with the 'Southampton way' - not one for the future like Jay Rod.

Check out the 1978-80 shirt following our return to division one. We've gone back in time with the sash design, could it be we're doing it again in relation to past achievements so we're getting this one again? Could be worse.

I'm not surprised by the price hike, however I didn't think I would be paying £175 more for the same seat watching the same team in fewer games. I had thought about £100 increase would be about right compared to other similar clubs. I think the issue for my ticket is that I am now sitting in a 'premium' seat - central Kingsland - so the club think I deserve to be rogered for the extra. Bit disappointing to be taken for a mug, but let's face it, if we stay up it will probably have been worth it and if we go down, we can look forward to cheaper seats!

That's a really interesting table - I am of the opinion we will do quite well this coming season.

NC can wait for as long as likes - I'm getting an ST. In the past, I've always been hacked off when induced to buy an ST early to get a discount and then the squad is decimated and no decent signings brought in - it always felt like..."OK we've got your money, now we can serve up rubbish football". Not since NC has been at the helm - I'm more than happy to keep hold of my money while I wait with bated breath on new arrivals.

Would be nice for the club to show it off on the OS surely? NC OUT!

Europe has to be the aim. Nothing else is good enough otherwise the extra three tiers at SMS and Di Matttio's wages will not be paid for. Never the less, we will finish somewhere between 20th and 14th. Ish.

PLEASE STOP IT! All this about Adkins?!?!? What if pigs end up not flying? What if there really are more stars than grains of sand on every beach in the World? What if the World was to stop spinning? FFS - this is worse than reading the Sun!

He has been plagued with serious injury and has struggled to keep a place. Of course there MIGHT be a plan to allow Davis to play while he recouperates his injurys as no.2 given that he's on a free, but I would be surprised if we took the risk TBH.

Take those in red out of the equation as probable loan deals, pending sales or in the case of Forecast assignment to the training ground staff and that leaves 19. So I think that means we could buy-in up to six new senior players? That would be GK, CB, RB, CAM, RW, ST - which seems to be about right. My shopping list would be... GK - Robinson CB - Scott Dann CAM - Pienaar RW - Jarvis ST - Rodrigues

Blackpool - once liked Wet Sham but Fat Sam has ruined the club and I would love to see them sack him if they lose.

Unsurprisingly you have misquoted me. However, others on here clearly think like me - the guy is not one for our squad ethic/culture IMO. Sure he can score goals, but so can many, many others.
