No, it looked s**t.

Fonte is clearly good enough to start.

Why do we need 2 CBs? Hooiveld is good enough as our 4th CB.

What points to a change of tactics or a step backwards?

I wonder what will be considered a successful season for Spurs? Sent from my RM-875_eu_euro1_217 using Tapatalk

Last year's kit looked utterly s**t, regardless of whether you like stripes or not.

Can't see him going for that cheap. Regardless of his contract, he's worth more to Villa and will be in demand from other clubs.

You're not 100% certain are you, you've just made that up.

If someone said to you that Danny Fox was a better left back than Luke Shaw would you think it is a ridiculous view?

I think the Swindon, Bournemouth and Brighton games will all be a tough test, Swindon still early days of pre season, but it wouldn't surprise me if we lose one of them, decent quality local opposition, a week ahead of us in their preparations. Would expect to start seeing a side resembling our first choice by the Bournemouth game.

When exactly has Shaw gone missing? You sound absolutely ridiculous.

Each to their own opinion, but I think he's better than Yoshida and Fonte.

Good point, still very young and I a high standard for a Centre back, impressive. Always a bit cynical about those sorts of stats articles, but that's a fair account, good balanced analysis of three good defenders.

But it's not an unreasonable assumption that the target should be to strengthen the squad at least a couple of weeks before the start of the season, particularly because we've lost three key players, from an already light squad; we do need to get a move on to sort our signings.

Yeah, fair enough, makes sense, just stood out a bit as unusual.

Sharp in midfield doesn't make sense to me, not that it matters much at this stage I guess.

Why was it refunded? What happened?

I know these early games are just about getting rid of rustiness etc, but can't see how the 2nd half line up of Sharp, Gallagher and Mayuka in the same side would work? Yoshida playing left back?

Yes, you're saying he's upset, where did you get this info from? Are you ITK Batman? Sound like it.

That was my thought reading that, just pieced together the rumours on here and nicely made it into an "ITK" post.

Who is saying he's upset about anything?

Do you honestly not understand why Saints fans hate the Skates? What does League placing have to do with it?

He's got a lad that is still in the Saints academy? That's a turn up for the books! Fair old commute that, Chilworth to Herts, good two hour drive each way.

Exactly this, drawn out process over several weeks which did Saints no favours as well.

Think we can and will do better than that. Only possibility is that we really do have faith in Targett and just want an experienced figure to provide a bit of cover in that position, but this chap doesn't even sound like the best fit in that regard.
