Sounds like the Mane deal is done and so Ramirez was further down the pecking order.

Ramirez signed by Hull on loan

Oh... What a shock, SSN talking about Man Utd again. Shouldn't be called SSN, it should be called FFS.

Someone has just shoved a dildo in the ear of the reporter at Everton on SSN! Getting a bit bored with SSN to be honest as it's like the Man United and QPR show.

Wow! Quick off the mark with this thread.... anyway, I'm thinking Alderweireld on loan (by the sound of things) and Mane. That'll be it and that'll do just fine.

Still being connected to Saints (not Newcastle) on SSN

It's incredible what some people will **** when they've got their beer goggles on.

Don't worry, I got it!

Looks like Sainsburys to me.

We might anyway!

This. The bookies normally get it right. This would be unbelievable after it all looked dead and buried a week or so ago.

Fingers crossed that we get these over the line and that they're not the figment if some over active imagination. What a great signing Toby would be.

Disappointing that the best we can achieve is 'Satisfactory', no chance of finishing in a 'Good' or 'Excellent' position then.

We won't finish below 10th. Apart from West Ham, there are plenty of other **** teams in this league.

Good report from a Hammer into the game today ... gives the Saints a lot of credit before hammering the Hammers http://www.ironviews.com/southampton-demolish-hapless-hammers-3-1/?

Reasons to be cheerful 1 - 2 - 3 (accordingly to Jose): 1. The Manager came with a philosophy of keep playing football 2. We still have a lot of good players from last year with the right motivation 3. The Club and Manager brought in the right players that want to work and want to be here. They want to be a part of the Southampton Way. That'll do for me

... another thing I have just learned ... is that this is a tech related thread and I've gone off on a tangent rather! Apologies to all concerned.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You say that as though it's a fact whereas it is actually just a misguided opinion No we haven't! We lost the manager and a few players at the start of the window and since then we have brought in a new manager who, in my opinion, is an upgrade on the previous one and we have at least replaced the players that have left. Some people on here (no names mentioned) automatically assume that those players aren't as good as those that have left (I tend to disagree) so I would describe the window, more realisically as being one where there was some initial bad news and since then all good news as the new players came on board. Yes, it is a wonder actually as those same people seem expert at ignoring the good news and just focussing on the changes that happened a good number of weeks ago now and refuse to stop talking about how bad everything is. Now sure where I said I couldn't handle it. Just said the total negativity of people on here ****es me off. Like stating that Taider is another bad news story! No it's not! A player that came on loan, has never played for us and has left ... so what? I seem to recall that some people (no names mentioned) suggested that the signing appeared to be a 'downgrade on last year and not a very inspiring signing'. Yet when he leaves, it's a 'bad news story'. Exactly the type of no win whining I was talking about.. Whine when he signs and whine when he leaves. I have learnt one thing today though and that's there's no point in trying to argue against it as some people have the negativity so ingrained into their very persona that there is no way they are taking the blinkers off.

Maybe it's to prioritise both. Ever thought that was possible? I'd rather have a go at the cups and do well in the league than just abandon the cups as we did last year even if it means finishing 9th instead of 8th.

It's not the suggestion that the problem it's the constant banging on with the same old theme. It's not fair, we're ****, the board are crap, all our signings are rubbish, we've done the worst business in the whole world, we're doomed, we're going to get relegated, etc etc etc.

Yes., there is problem. The forum is full of whingers and bedwetters with nothing better to do than complain about every ****ing thing they can think of. Apart from that, it's fine.

What a bunch of whinging ****s on here tonight. FFS... All ****ing doom and gloom. If you want to be depressed go and watch Eastenders. Not a transfer rumour amongst the lot of you, just childish pathetic arguments. We are where we are. Get over it. Trying to argue that Crystal Palace haven't had a bad transfer window because they haven't lost any big name players.... They never had any to start with FFS. Just pointless bickering.

Blimey! I thought I'd come to the 'Transfer Rumours Only' thread ... turns out I'm in the 'Artur Boruc Instagram' thread instead! My mistake.

Can't see why he would have played last night if we were planning of getting rid by the end of the week. Just doesn't make sense.
