https://www.clubcall.com/southampton/ajax-to-fight-saints-for-dutch-deal-1754898.html The Dutch Under-21 international is unhappy at the Rotterdam club and looks set to leave in the January transfer window following talks between the club and his father at a training camp in Dubai. Ajax general manager Marc Overmars is keen to land the 20-year-old but faces stiff competition from Saints boss Ronald Koeman - who gave Vilhena his senior debut at Feyenoord aged 16. Reports claim Celta Vigo are also interested while AC Milan, Juventus, Torino, Udinese and Napoli have been following his progress closely with a view to taking him to Serie A. Vilhena's father admitted that his son had become frustrated with his lack of opportunities this season and Feyenoord's signing of two midfielders for his position last summer.

How many threads of this can we start before tomorrow night...

3rd!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamstring To all our hamstring injury experts... Christ... Where exactly do you think the hamstring is!

Lets be honest, with our squad we won't qualify 2 years in a row, so I'd rather play against the best we can how often do you think we could expect to get Bayern or Real Madrid at saints in a competitive fixture. Would be amazing!

Saint on red cafe before todays game: To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if Koeman is sacked before the end of the season. With their great start expectations rose and people started believing they could get europa league if not champions league. Now that results have gone against them and could easily get zero points causing a serious lack of confidence thus entering them into a downward spiral. WTFILN Come on you beautiful beautiful reds... show these money back teams!!!

The celtic chant for Wanyama, which we use, is the dogs ********... We just suck at singing it basically... Not the first song for which we can say that about ourselves

Another target that judas has taken with him to spuds along with his black box... spurs apparently in for Ings at £7m, personally don't think they'll sell him for that, would be madness if they went down. We really need to pull our finger out and sign him tbh.

We've bid 200k for this scottish nipper at Dundee apparently... interesting!

For all of you having trouble finding reliable streams now that Wiziwig has closed. I'm pleased to announce that I have found you one, specifically the Dear old BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30710045

This argument is nonsense. Who do you think was strengthened by the us selling Lallana and Lovren... If you sell to your competitors for exuberant fees then you make ground on them...They pay over the odds and you get the money to replace the sold player plus extra for developing the team. The key their is over the odds... selling to the competition for anything approaching replacement value is moronic. I.e. Arse selling RVP for only £24m, but then that was bad contract management and transfer planning full stop - the result of which is Arsenal not winning anything of note since the invincible (bar a cup where the best team they had to beat was hull). I would be quite happy with us selling Morgan to an english team for £30m. In perspective here for you, Toby is better and younger than Morgan, and he is costing us £6.2m (should we sign him)... Plus the lad wants to be here, plus he is replacing Lovren who we sold for £20m.... Selling to your rivals is superb business if you do it correctly.

Calm your teats man, that will not happen his managerial record ain't all that And they haven't even sacked whats his face. More likely to be ML as well.

So, apparently Berahino can leave for £20m, should we go for him? The likes of him, pelle and mane up front fills me with glee let alone with Jayrod to come back and playing Tadic in behind in the CAM position Hmm, tasty!

Wait what, how did geometry get translated into success!?!?!?!?! HTH

I'm afraid the second portion of that sentence just isn't correct. Acoustics is about success, but a venues performance owes a lot to diffraction and interference patterns. Either way, you gave a serious response which is far more than the OP deserves in all frank honesty.

Considering he is in the papers today saying the opposite, I would demote your source to Bull Shtie level

Great news for Maya, delighted for him. Very professional, competent and a great squad player.

Sorry but he hasn't just changed mane's game in under 3 weeks, taking him from utterly useless (according to the football experts on here), to someone we can't afford to lose for a month... thats down to the player adapting (helped by the coaches ofc) but it isn't him developing any new skills. Wanyama has just improved fullstop, when he first came he couldn't pass meters accurately. Likewise I think forster has benifited from full time exposure to the england goalkeeping coach and a better level of football. Koeman keeps them calm, gives the the belief and knowledge they can succeed and uses very sound tactics... He is a great manager in this regard, but I don't think he has made any significant developments in player skill yet relative to any other manager; only in mentality (prime example being Morgan) and tactical knowledge are there real signs of his input for me. The rest will come with time and a long tenure - something he historically does not do its worth remembering. Enjoy it all while it lasts, and remember the lows to stay grounded. Champions league would be amazing and a miracle - remember that if we don't make it!

"Forster, Pelle, Tadic, Mane are all not up to standard" - right lol... Great result, and excellent way to start the new year! Great job saints... We need to sing Toby!! Absolute snip at £8m when only 23.

mane is **** didn't you realise, shows you what retards we have on this forum rofl

Good win and a snap shot of the future. Happy saints fan

One of the worst refereeing performances we've had at SMS for many a long year. Struglling to think of a worse one tbh and hope we lodge a complaint of some kind. Happy with the team. We're clearly disjointed with the new formation but still offer a threat. Really like long for just his work rate if nothing else. Always a nuisance behind and pressing or winning headers (great jumper is long)... Also lol at american commentary, "with the bear hug from behind and heinrich maneuver" to describe players jostling from a corner Also warde prowse impressing me since he's been back. Really starting to see his potential now. before this i was always scratching my head with him.

Incredible.... "do not share stream" - thank you for ignoring this advice rofl

Ronald Koeman has made just 38 of the 48 substitutions available to him in the Premier League this season; no club has used as few.

Looks like I'll be keeping Lukaku as captain in fantasy football... He let me down this weekend. Sod's law if I change him he'll score another hatrick against us!!! The sacrafices I make in the name of saints!
