What's wrong with green? Maybe I'm biased because it's my favourite colour but I don't see what the problem with green is.

Arsene signed Oleg Luzhny after one decent performance against them so it wouldn't surprise me.

Looks really good to me, I like both of this season's kits. As long as it fits well and you can wash it without all the dye running out I might buy one.

Hull's relegation had nothing to do with missing Long. They barely clung to safety last season and narrowly went down this year. There was very little difference in the quality of the two teams. If MO is better than one of our current players then of course there is a point to loaning him in. He wouldn't be taking a place away from one of our youth team players, if they were good enough they would already be in the team.

Saints opt not to take up right-to-buy on Eljero Elia
Lighthouse replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Elia is 28. JWP is 20. JWP still has plenty of developing to do. Elia is pretty much as good as he is going to get and he's not that good. He is a journeyman who never stays at a club for more than 2 years before moving on because he can't get into the team, adapt to the style etc. etc. I know we need depth but out of all the thousands of players out there why sign the one who has already proven he isn't good enough? Take a risk on someone else, not a player who has failed to deliver for the last 5 years. If you just want depth, sign me. It'll do it for £2k a week and I'm available on a free. -
I saw an African looking bloke walking around Gatwick earlier, he could have been flying to Munich but his earlobes were the wrong shape so it's inconclusive.

Palace away on Boxing Day, Arsenal on NYD, Everton at some point over the X-mas period and we play the top four 5 times over December and new year.

There is no way we are going to match the combined wage demands of Toby, Song, Remy and Cabaye.
-
If we do that everyone will want £80k a week. Plus Remy is decent but not incredible. Certainly not worth blowing our wage structure out of the water over. His best scoring season was at Newcastle and that was only really on par with what Pelle did last year.
-
I didn't realise a prank like this could be so cheap TBH. Supposing 30,000 Saints fans were to put up £100 each. A lot you say but for a 5 year deal that's only £20 each annually. Wish we'd known this sooner, we could have had all sorts on it.
-
Spurs have spent that before on Soldado and Lamela, I can't say I'm all that worried. If someone comes in with a big offer for Kane or Lloris they will be a worse team next season IMO. Besides, that's only about £19m. More than we're likely to fork out but not a lot more than we spent on Osvaldo.

Odds only reflect betting patterns.

I've heard they are a lot cheekier in Manchester than Southampton. Could have been part of his decision.
-
Milner will be a decent enough replacement for Gerrard but I'm not so sure the Scousers will be happy with that. He'd struggle to get into a top 4 starting 11 and that's where most of their fans will want to be. On a side note, I'm astonished that he is only 29. Could have sworn he was playing for Leeds in the Prem about 15 years ago, thought he was about 33 by now.

Lighthouse replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Why are so many clinging to the notion that somehow preseason training will make him better? All it does is build fitness and teamwork ahead of the new season, it wont make anyone suddenly a better player. It's not as if fitness is an issue here. If he was overweight, out of shape or coming back from a bad injury then a pre-season would probably sort him out but it wont make him a better player. -

I've been pretty underwhelmed with him overall so can't say I'm surprised or disappointed. He's not a 'handy squad player' that just seems to be a byword for not being good enough. A decent squad player should be able to offer something useful, Elia doesn't. -
anyone know a midfielder that scores goals ?
Lighthouse replied to JonnyOldBoy's topic in The Saints
A holding midfielder who scores goals? Even the likes of Makelele and Vieira rarely troubled the score sheet, I doubt you will see one at Saints any time soon. -
