Yeah with no pre-season to speak of under his belt either. A whole 3 mins tonight !!

I'm on my fourth password reset, still no friends and family link that they speak of in the article. Without meaning to knock them you would think its pretty common sense to test the system to make sure it works and displays all the correct information wouldn't you ? Mr Cortese will not be happy !

So a change to the company that has taken the first team for years now.....and the problem with that is ?

Absolutely, still credit for keeping this thread going I guess

I'm sure Eddie Mitchell will drive him up there personally

For a start S_Clarke is one of the few people on here who does NOT hurl abuse around on this site. Secondly everyone is entitiled to their opinion, yeah even on here, but seriously how can you decide after 20 mins that Gazziniga is no better than Bart ? There was a good save, a bad kick out and what else did he have to do ? Wether the groovy gang (what ?) or the thought police (what the hell ?) approve or disaprove of your opinion surely you can see that 20 mins to judge a new keeper is a little OTT. I remember after about 20 mins against Bournemouth in the League Cup a couple of years ago I thought the kid on the wing was out of his depth. That was Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and how bloody wrong was I ?

If we were to pay megga bucks for a player then pay wages of £100k a week I would want someone whose performances arent quite so patchy as Theo's and who doesnt spend so much time injured as Theo.

Certainly is, and yeah very much in the mould.

Tadanari Lee ?

I have seen him 3 or 4 times now and have been more impressed with him each time. He will be one of the first names on the team sheet in the not too distant future.

didnt like him did ya ? at least he was usually close enough to the winger to catch him.....unlike the current left back !!! played a big part in our last 3 years, pity that passed you by !

You will be shot down for that. I tried to point out exactly what you have said about Fox last season and was told it was nonsense. Still as the club seem to be actively pursuing another left back perhaps those that matter also have the same reservations.

If you could put the best bits of both together you would have one hell of a left back for sure.

Is this now longer than the Jack Cork thread from last summer.....or the Rudi Skacel one from a few years back ? It feels like this had been running longer than Corrie !!

It was nowhere near 800k, both Adam Blackmore and Simon Peach have tweeted independantly that we settled a fraction of that.

yes we did give up any chance of sell on clauses back then in the dark days.

Thats very true, even the Rangers owner, Green, said Southampton had acted honourably.

I expect us to be bottom come mid September given the fixtures we have. We will rally by Christmas and have a decent New Year where we will finish about 14th. Tadanari Lee and Nathan Clyne to shine, Rickie will not be club top scorer. thats my predictions !

I dont think we stand a chance with signing this guy........ there that should see that it happens

Carlton Palmer is the one that immediately springs to mind. Who knew he would be so good, at least for a season.

Mine was Keegan without question. I even remember it got mentioned at school in morning assembly the next day....and that was in Weymouth !!! Always remember getting home from school the day he signed and Dad saying to me "If Southampton were to sgin anyone who would you want it to be?" The only name I could come up with was Trevor Francis and he said "No son, better than that" !! The one signing Saints have made where I can remember exactly where I was and how I heard the news.....I guess that qualifies as a WOW signing

Yes but as someone has just said its in his interests to do so. If he impresses and gets into the squad will he revert back to his old self, job done ? Like I said I dont trust him and would be wary of his motivation.

If we bring in another forward or midfield player who has pace and can play out wide then no. If we dont sign anyone like that then he could well make it into the 25. Personally I wouldnt take the risk, you cant trust the guy.

So he did.....just testing to see who is keeping up

Lallana not featured at all then !
