We will still finish top 9 IMO

Oh FFS

Cheers monk. Appreciate info, will there be potential for our 'key' players to move if our 'vision' is not met ? Any ideas positions or potential value of targets ? I.e low value squad targets or higher value first team replacements ?

Never expected him to be as such, I think he is much better and harder to mark when attacking from deep. He will make a decent CF in the future but right now he works better in the attacking three. Our issue is we dont create enough, no matter who is up top they dont get enough service and Rickie isnt a lone front man.

Cant be, its secret footballer not pretend.

Personally I agree with Chezzer, besides, unless Clattenburgs put down was vastly different to what has been reported then I still dont think that this level of response from the club is necessary.

Shame, 10m for Lambert could have been spent well on a left sided CB

You've won this round pastor....

Why is your dad going to do it for you ?

Really ? Tried other phones, keep going back to the Iphone, its probably not as good but somehow better in a strange sort of way.

This, just said that to the wife when she asked what the fuss was. Thats exactly what I think it is, try to get rid of Clattenburg as he is, TBF, an awefull ref. If it was purely for the so called 'abuse' then its a bit laughable really, and Id suggest anyone getting their knickers in a twist over the so called 'abuse' is a bit precious.

Clattenburg is a crap ref, we all know that. But this whole Saints thing is a bit over the top for me, if all thats been said is whats been reported then its very over the top.

Exactly, all Ive seenover the past couple of weeks is a few bedwetters doing exactly that and the usual crowd attempting to take over the asylum. From what I see we have lost a very able keeper, our two excellent midfielders including Wanyama who I think seems pretty vital to how we play. Added to this the loss of Shaw and Clyne for periods and breaking up the centre back pairing, its not really crazy to think we are going to be not as successful as we were. All that before looking at some of the opposition. Get a grip (not you krak)

Back in training, though light I believe

We were doing ok before injuries, suspensions and playing top four teams to be fair. Still, a CB and GK wouldnt go a miss, the squads still doesnt have enough depth.

This is the rumours I have heard circling, pretty sure the plan is to upgrade the existing waterfront as part of a joint venture with the council that has just been landed a large grant from government. We wont be moving sites, we dont even sell out St Marys, an expansion potentially in a couple of years but at the moment we are ok.

I would deffo take 8 mil

Why what did he miss ?

I think it will be difficult to talk about this subject openly without someone jumping on some sort of completly over the top prejudice tirade, however I think that its a subject that will effect us all. Whether you like it or not there is an undercurrent of discontent in many of the major cities harboured by the working class of injustices brought about by immigration. This wont go away, and in fact is likely only to get worse by further migration hindering job prospects and reducing the wages for certain jobs. Add to this the reports of high crime rates. Personally I think there gets to a point of enough is enough, I am pro immigration in certain quarters, in fact I think Australia has it bang on, allow those in that fall into certain criteria which are either genuinely fleeing oppression or that can actually add skills in areas that we are short. If you do not meet those criteria then simply do not allow a working visa as for me a country should always look after its own citizens first.

Houses, glass and stones......

Id take 8-10 only if that money is invested in a decent CB or Goalkeeper. I cant see him going to West Ham, I reckon he will want to see out his career at Saints TBH but anything close to 10m and Id snap their hands off.

Woulda been a cracking shout in celebrity death list 2014

Not really

Well, he isnt slow by any means, he isnt lightening but not slow, is a very good finisher on the floor and in the air. Big and strong, nasty and can despite popular belief hold the ball up. He will never flick it around a load of players but thats not his game. As per lightweight injury wise I disagree, you find with players after they have one or two big injuries they become a little susceptible. He has tendonitis I believe which is a horrible injury in reality. Is he good enough to keep them up on his own ? No, but he is certainly better than a bottom of the table player (in the right system)

I disagree entirely, we dont play with any real identified RM or LM, more an attacking unit that lines up losely as the forward four of a 4231 formation, there are loosely recognised roles of the CF and the three tight AMs that interchange and occasionally drift wide but generally allow the full backs to overlap. One of the midfielders generally holds and drops to form a back three CBs in the attacking phase and the other midfielder will play more box to box and will interchange with the AMs. Thats how I can see it anyway, so personally I dont see how a wide midfielder will help ? Especially one that provided less impact then an apparantly terrible gaston last season and a midfielder with a sketchy past, inconsistant game and just doesnt work hard enough.
