Largely agree, though I think I'd put Cedric in 'Indifferent' rather than bad. Also I'd probably be putting Romeu in 'good' considering the price we paid for him.

Probably depositing the Mane money into Kat's bank account.

Think we're likely to get a bit of joy on the break though so pace would be a plus.

Fonte or Yoshida will make a big difference. Don't fancy Maya up against Zlatan. I'd go for: ----------Forster---------- Pied--Fonte--VVD--Targett ----------Romeu---------- ---Højbjerg------Davis--- -----------Tadic----------- -----Redmond--Long----- Perhaps harsh on Cedric but thought he was pretty poor on Saturday.

Big teams only want to play pre-season games they'll win!

Which paper?

Can't see us signing a 30 year old tbh.

Hard to believe that Everton would be interested or he'd want to go there considering the rumours about his strained relationship with Koeman.

Probably because he looks about 50!

Looks decent! Like a more direct Tadic.

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing his signings and management style.

But Erwin is a Koeman, sooo ....

How big of a draw is the Prem is a big question. Could we tempt a manager from a team in the Champions League? Probably not I'd guess. Someone like Rui Vitoria from Benfica could be a wild card option. Only 46, European experience etc.

Is the original SWF thread still out there somewhere? Was amazing.

His name translates as 'Frank The Farmer'. Perfect for a little 'Ampshire club like ourselves.

Since this thread is likely to go on for some time, could someone add an apostrophe to 'Saints' in the title please? It's annoying!

Was just thinking last night how in our previous 2 'meltdowns' we have never had any Arsenal, United, Liverpool or Spurs fans on here, yet countless Everton fans have felt the need. Says all you need to know about how big a club they are.

I'm going to enjoy it so much when we finish above Everton again. It must be really difficult for fans of other clubs to comprehend that losing our manager really isn't that much of a big deal to us anymore. You can't blame them, most other clubs are run in a trigger happy, chuck enough sh*t and some of it will stick kinda way. They can't get their head around the fact that a manager for us is just another employee, and we've probably had a Manager Shortlist in mind since the day Koeman joined. We'll see who has the last laugh. #wemarchon

Don't be ridiculous. Why would anyone from Under Armour even discuss it?

Praet off to Sevilla apparently.

Wait 'til they see him in the Prem.

A great read! Always interested to here from those with contacts at the club. What exactly is Saints list? I assume some sort of email thread?

Am I right in thinking that they risked a fair bit on getting promoted this season?
