Monk

Pleased with this piece of business. I was in the home dug out he scored four past my Wessex League side on a pitch behind a secondary school with a stand of 100 seats and around 30 people in attendance. Eight years or so later, he's now lining up as a Saints striker.

Really pleased for JWP after a below average season so far, hope he pushes on from here. WBA look appalling. Does Tony Pulis do anything other than shout 'AYE'?

Thanks for the link Manuel, 3-0 Saints.

Something just doesn't feel/look right. Players seem to be having a pop at each other a bit quickly after missed placed passes, the most lethargic defending of a corner I have ever seen. Koeman and staff barely energetic/fired up. No speed in our defending, 50/50's or even tempo in possession. As for the game plan, Lescott and Okore are happy to play against the cross-long ball, we need to be playing in between the lines and having a 10 in the game. (Would love to see Gaston there!)

Joe Allen

Look forward to seeing it!

Where was Jay?

That's about all you'll see! My stream is pony

110% Agree.

3) win the game?

You're going to need much more than your B licence to work in the academy.

Do you understand why this is done now at children's level?

Now that would be telling.

As has Clyne, Adam & Rickie.

Luke Shaw has completely regressed since leaving.

Some irony in his comments considering he ended up at Monaco having agreed to join us.

Didn't want to start a new thread but interested to hear/read your opinions; Should the transfer window be: a) Removed & allow transfers throughout the season. b) Co-inside with a beginning and end of season? (no winter window) c) Alternative d) Stay as it is Surprise no journalist has written anything but I personally feel transfer deadline day masks clubs inability to develop and produce players.

Squad, when fully fit looks exciting with two exceptions. Would love to see a dominant '10' (wouldn't most clubs). Sad to see very few English players in the proposed starting line up.

I was told 15% but was also told it was a four year deal.

Well apologies owed. Five year deal it is.

Anybody seen the 'journo' that has written a piece for the BBC Sport page reviewing a player and his potential..... All due to the players 'career' on his football manager save game

and I don't mean football

The deal is done and dusted. It was in the final process since yesterday. Concerned with the sell on % fee that Celtic have included. Apparently some legs in the Lamela enquiry but I believe Saints have distance themselves to avoid Spurs mentioning any deal with Wanyama. ( I maybe completely wrong - this is from a Spurs supporting friend that works in the game.)

I asked yesterday and was told a very frank 'today'(Monday) with a wink.
