I wouldnt play Morgan and Matic together necessarily but he is certainly a mile better than you believe. Could fit into almost every club in the world

Cant disagree with you at all here, Im really at a loss at how no other club other than Spurs have showed any firm interest in the lad, and even more that Spurs attempted to get him on the cheap. For me he is ready made for Arsenal, Spurs, Utd and Liverpool. Exactly what they need right now. He is exceptional, easily our best player, one of the best I have ever seen in a saints shirt

He has actually been ok for them.... Which was surprising

Is the answer to the thread title injuries ? 27 games ? Losing players/manager ? Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Everton, United ? Or some other ******** ?

You can edit the club legends yourself I have alpine saint commenting on everything

All Im saying is this sort of thing very much happens. They realise they can get a bit more, try it on, we either pay extra and get the job done quick or its dragged out. Im under no illusions if a big club comes in they'll be in pole position. Its just pretty likely that Athletico may be starting to yank our chain a bit. Worth remembering they really dont have a lot of dosh

Exactly, its clear that they believe they could get more than the 8m concluded in the deal (6.3m plus the severence fee) Surely we could just offer more and save them the heartache of messing about, which in reality, if we want him, is what will happen

Exactly this Blokes a loon, if he'd of stuck with any of his last 6 managers they'd be far better Too many changes too often

This And Gallagher really isnt goid enough right now

Think its innevitable that we will lose players, there isnt, regardless of what people say, a team in the world thats immune to it. That said, I dont think we will see the exodus that we did in the summer (though it worked out well) one way or another players were unhappy, we seem so far from that now. Realistically though, they'll always be a financial element, but if we keep looking progressive then we will stand a better chance of holding on to our talents

Im not saying it isnt doable, it definately is To be honest, secretely Im getting excited, but the realist in me is telling me to reign it in until after xmas as, after all, its saints

He is an arrogant *****, and he is liverpool manager. That was how I felt previous to the liverpool signings. I like, saggy chops, mourinho, martinez, pearson, poch, bruce Hate rodgers, allardyce, pardew, warnock, poyet Pretty much have no opinion with the rest

Which isnt in the league and they played a weakened team

Lets see how we are after xmas shall we ?! We have played two of last years top 6 and lost to them both so far

Cheers

Anyone ? Reeds interview ?

Anyone got the Les Reed interview ?

I agree fwiw, just putting into context. I think part of our issues last year was our lack of an incisive front man. I agree we probably have more than 10m, but we dont know that, january is generally a very difficult time to get people through the door amd personally I wouldnt mind Rickie as backup

Whether you think its right or wrong, we wouldnt get a better backup for pelle right now for under 10m, so if the choice is the return of SRL or likely no back up then I think Ill choose SRL

There really is no need to put anything else on this thread, leave it to elsewhere. Yes I questioned this board early on, but I dont think I was unjustified during what was the darker days of summer, yes I questioned Ralphs ability, but its the here and now that matters now, and what an excellent job they have proven to have done. Markus' legacy is now forever etched in our history, with what has turned out to be a magnificent piece of work that hopefully will see us through the future now and I really am proud of that. Cortese may have started it (and in reality stoped it, started it, stoped it, started it ad infinitum ) but ultimately it was Markus' dream and money and I have to say a massive congratulations to Mr Reed who I know had a lot to do with its ultimate development So proud of what this club is right now Thank you leibherr's

Its a pretty well worked video tbh Yes its pr bull****, but watching that makes you realise what a special club we have

Out of interest, as I genuinely cant remember if the rule was changed or not Do champions league winners now get an extra spot in the CL draw ? So if Chelsea win it, does 5th place get an entry into the qualifying section ? Im aware at the time of chelsea winning it didnt work that way

Because he is physical

You still have to be able to take points from the top teams, and right now I, aswell as many others, are trying to curtail my optimism by pointing out the fact that we have had a reasonably easy start, and the two top teams we have played we have lost to. Now, you could temper that with the fact that we have played Swansea a d West Ham and won, both were form teams at the time. This could be our year, but right now Im looking at the Dec fixtures and holding back my cries of CL..... Hopefully I can start claiming we are the real deal by jan

We have played two teams from last seasons top 6, how did they end ? Lets not get carried away
