And you have them talking up European ambitions

Agree with your hypo. Assume lovren and Morgan go. We will need 5 players just to break even. And those 5 players all won't be as good as the ones who left And that does not start to strengthen the squad as a whole from last season Can only see a fight to stay up

Did Koeman tap up pelle before he officially joined saints?

Comparing us to WBA is no recipe for success It was only 10 months or so that you were using Everton as the example of why we can get the top 4 a challenge

Can't see why he would go to Everton, they routinely sell their best players and are not in the champions league Ohhhh

Ok, if you think the Dutch league is really strong then that is up to you. I don't.

They have a bloody good manager and players better than ours, like robben, RvP, schnieder, de vrij, which of course, we won't be signing. In fact, I doubt we will sign anyone of note from that side

I could not care less who we could beat as a team or not. It's individual players doing well over a whole prem season I suspect we would lose up at celtic in a one off game, yet only two of their players at a push would remotely have the ability to succeed at saints

The Dutch league is pretty poor. Not sure on the odds on success from that league to the prem

We won't have a good a team as last year, I think you should start to accept that

Doubt it. He is now a defender and would be wise to make that position his position

Well, seems Morgan has told the club to put up or shut up. Which I guess many of us have said one time or another this summer

If we start to miss our prime targets then we really will be in the ****

dunno, I get it all the time from him and a few others

ok richard

as you do, as you run on here sticking up for stubo

he said it was hideous and said that it was so because Cortese meddled and we had no brand. it is there in that thread.

I said one or two........which it was, just one you keep on coming on here and sticking up for your buddy, stubo

it has been edited. along with a post from me which he replied to which now been edited. it is like clockwork, anyone who mentioned stubo from the uglies, you on on it, sticking up for your partner in crime

stu said this (about the red and yellow one that granty put up) and said this when I suggested that the actual kit was quite good...

always a pleasure seeing run to stueys aid

valbuena would be good but we wont be getting players like that, i doubt

we also got a record number of points etc....maybe, had we had a better squad, we would have held on to those leads. either way, it was a brilliant league season, the points haul suggests that. even more so as it was our 2nd season back tell you what, we will be quite some way off that this year

better than being in the top 10 all season and never really ever looking like dropping out after 1 full season back in the top flight? I thought we were brilliant last season, all things considered

and look how it is turning out for them
