of course it wont millions upon millions were actively demonstrating against war lord blair in 2003. he won the next general election

dont think he did

this has been said since NC left and MP with the players were all linked away yet there they all go

reaction in the studio saints are not the only team with a very good youth set up, they come across as they have they will struggle hugely with the mad strategy they have taken koeman will have to be an exceptional coach to make them competitive Ralph comes across as a media diplomat worrying faith in so many youngsters with no first team experience Brought through academy players and sold at optimum prices. Sensible to sell 1 per season to sell what they have so far this summer is utter madness southampton have simply failed to bring in the players that ralph suggests southampton have spent a lot of money in the last couple of years club has a very good set up morgan is making is very clear he wants out. be interesting to see his attitude if he is still there

talking Saints David Pleat no way will they be able to reproduce last season with the players they have gone. Its starting from scratch McGarry (journo) Farcical what is going on. You dont sell that many players without having quality in already or quickly in. Now look, they are struggling to make signings and the season starts next weekend. madness Steve Claridge Lots of answers needed about the club and the direction. The sales when you let so many go will be difficult to stop Ralphy we tried to keep MP we tried to keep the players expect the unexpected MP wanted to move for a better chance of CL football we have an exciting manager we were in control of the sales everyone is excited about the new season when you talk about players out, you have to talk about players in Koeman wants to continue the football philosophy Koeman has chance to mould his own team and here long term Sorry if we couldnt be more open about it all at the time lots of funds for fees, wages etc for the team and this should be exciting transfer market in football is very dynamic and interesting you have to sustain success and we will do that the passion of the sport is wonderful and more so in southampton (clip of a cortese interview from a while ago, talking about how the club want to challenge the top sides. saying we didnt have the resources but we had a different angle in the youth system with great players. we created talents that half the world seems to be after. we wanted to keep most of them) agrees with NC on youth. the structure is incredible and we will continue to believe in our youth system and get many into the team shaw would not have got the games he did at a higher club. shows the opportunities are there will use the money to have a deeper squad that last year there is no guarantee that the youth players will all be good enough more names will be made from the young players that remain koeman was aware that sales would be made when offers came in ronald was involved in every part of the sales and signings did not expect so many players would be chased like they were We look at our squad and morgan is the centre piece he is not for sale understand player emotions and they will communicate that Morgan will be there and is not far sale Jay is another part of the team that we want to build and his rehab continues wont say if offers came in for morgan and jay and neither are for sale with this new business plan, wont give targets but we will be competitive want to build the club step by step to european football and the foundations were not there when we came in £92m is a little too high, was not quite that much but it was a very strong sum had to make payments for money owed for players been given green light from owner to invest large parts into fees and wages was hired to bring in a culture to be as well run as possible we dont expect trust over night and understand the emotions from the fans we ask for time from fans and understand we have to earn fans respect club is not for sale otherwise would not have turned down very lucrative hockey jobs in the NFL Katherina insists the club is not for sale and wants to grow the club in the interests of the investment of her father there we are

just buy reading various bits and bobs. Rojo has been consistently mentioned in the last month or so

seems it will....Taider

any more updates...on anything? cheers for the smileys

be interesting to see any changes in what he said last week

clearly celtic but what about a striker? wide player?

if koeman was in control of the transfers

there getting players in early does not automatically mean they will be shyt a great deal of their shytness was down to their god awful manager put pochettino in charge of that lot and they do not go down

just wait till koeman has a dodgy spell and you post up his form record. over and over and over and you start calling him Kukoo-man or something

Cortese left 6+ months ago. Seeing as these things were always his fault, I should imagine the fans forum is any day now.

decent signing but another loan. no commitment of anything to any medium term future of the club from the owner

but the season starts in less than 2 weeks with the final friendly on saturday we have some winable games in the next couple of weeks and to simply not give ourselves a better chance than we should is terrible

its called an opinion remember being completely derided suggesting that the press report were indeed true about players leaving when it all started in january with posts like this yet here we are

why have you missed season out in your list? he is decent in a different country and over 30 to sign him for £14m is madness compared to what we have let go if he was half that price, that would be different

why are so aggressive? just because I do not rate this fella at £14m and do not think he would provide any more than the bloke we just let go for a fraction of that warrants you being all hard about it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Kie%C3%9Fling ok, look forward to him powering more goals than lambert last season no problem

then why have we let lambert go to spend £10m more on a player with zero prem experience

13.

he has had two good season no way enough to suggest that much for a 30 year old

he scored 15 goals last season
