Saint Fan CaM

I've got a gut feeling that both will be fantastic for us if Koeman can integrate them into the team well and repair the spirit that has been so important over the last 4-5 years. Lambert was a real leader (a reason Lallana probably felt so lost and isolated without him) and we need a couple of the team to step up and replace that.

Hate how TV can ruin best laid plans, but mostly hacked off that they couldn't even manage to move any games when I'm away on holiday this year.

Not too concerned about Lallana leaving...there are other players as good if not better (Tadic). What really gets my goat and amplifies what a bellend the guy is, is that he clearly had no regard for his position as team Captain. That to me indicates a disgraceful lack of respect for the fans and the players he leaves behind at Saints. For that reason alone I would never welcome him back to SMS, not that he would have the courage to return anyway.

Excellent news...the tonic we needed and great business. Listening to his interview, got a good feeling about this guy.

If we were struggling financially and needed striker cover then using Sharp would be a no brainer. That's not the case.

Link please? (Edit: actually don't bother - found it and it's not that good TBF).

Completely agree with that.

Excellent news.

I'm right p1ssed off! Waited for this threads stream, then fed up with waiting I opened the actual U-tube stream in a different window...waited...nothing. Came back to this thread to hear the last minute of the interview! Will it be shown again anywhere (at least I can skip through the Utd b*llocks)?

I hope that the club create a new statue alongside Ted's - both men were instrumental in saving the club at it's hour of need. Other top clubs have more than one statue outside their grounds - we should honour Markus in this way IMO.

.............. Pelle? Tadic ..... Davis ..... Ramirez .... Morgan ..... Wanyama Clyne .... De Vrij? .... Fonte .... Chambers With a number of other decent players on the bench, the team could look quite tasty.

Really? Source?

Don't be daft...there will be no new player announcement. It will be interesting to hear what the gaffer has to say though.

Play the lad centrally, bolster his confidence by giving him more of a mainstream part rather than a bit part and he'll shine IMO. It will be interesting to see if RK gives him the much pitch time - I'm actually guessing not with the other options available to him.

Hope the club manage to get another signing across the line today and/or sort out the Lovren, Morgan issues and confirm Cork and Fonte's position. The silence is deafening. Whatever happened to the dominoes - did Lallana pinch them?

Seems like a top class signing...very pleased. If this is the standard of player we're bringing in, then I'm excited for the season ahead.

So actually, he's still not signed. Meh.

Its not often that you will find the owner of a football club reverred by the supporters in quite the way Markus is. Such is the legacy of a great man...thanks for the dream Markus.

Well that went ok then.

Should have asked him what he said to Lallana and Lovren about joining Liverpool. (-;

'We will re-invest the all the transfer fees back into the squad to improve on last season' - Reed. Oh really? When might that happen then Les? Ralph? Kat? Err...knock, knock...anyone in there??? #itshappeningbutnotasweexpected

Big step down from Utd to Southampton. All of one PL place and a few points. Don't need or want a journeyman like that little plank here anyway.

Bit like Lallana then?

This doesn't strike me as the type of signing we would make.

That would make a lot of sense if he's to step in for JRod until he's fit. Good player and one would fit our system too.
