Me too

Yep, you can just imagine the players we're going to bring in before the end of the transfer window with that sort of cash.

Just watched the highlights of the Brighton game. I haven't seen much of Isgrove but he's a speedy fella isn't he.

Don't know anything about Schelotto but with Campagnaro, do we really want a 34 year old CB? Even as a squad player? Surely we can do better than that?

Another one here, probably the same story rehashed. Taïder medical on Tuesday. http:// http://app.football-italia.net/?referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.football-italia.net%2F53344%2Fcampagnaro-saints-osvaldo-deal-too#article/footballitalia-53344

I don't think he suggested that Taïder was coming. He didn't really answer the specific question and was then asked what Taïder would bring to the club, even though he hadn't said he was coming! I think adam was trying to trip him up there.

Is there really anything new in there? I could have written that. Whether or not it's all 100% factually correct will never be known.

I concur. I wasn't sure if he'd signed for 2 or 3 years.

Alright! Who's been playing on Wikipedia? "Saphir Sliti Taïder is a French-born Algerian footballer who plays for Premier League club Southampton FC and the Algeria national team.*Wikipedia"

I agree. I'm sure he'll do well for us but I'm also sure he'll be gone in 2 to 3 years to bigger and better things.

Oops, spoke too soon!

Yep

Great! Thanks MLG

What was his name then?

I think it's a bit of a PR gaffe really. At the moment, it looks like we've brought in £100m or thereabouts and borrowed a player for a year. The assumption being that you only borrow when you can't afford. If Saints had announced their marquee signing(s) before announcing a loan deal then all would have been well. I guess the fear is that there will be no marquee signing, just a couple of loans and the cash disappears from the club coffers.

Lol, I'd love to be at that board meeting.

Ok, I'll relax

I'm seriously starting to worry that Koeman might pack it all in to be honest. His two recent tweetsc(the empty training ground and pictures on the wall of his office) suggest he's got the hump that he has no players to train and that he has nothing worthwhile to do. Might just be innocent tweets but the two together are starting to make me wonder whether he bought into this 'plan' after all.

Looks like Ronnie's getting bored already. Ronald Koeman (@Koeman1963) tweeted at 5:55 pm on Mon, Jul 28, 2014: There are some nice pictures in my office at the training ground in #SouthamptonFC http://t.co/GU07spZ1QG (https://twitter.com/Koeman

Me too. I couldn't give a flying one what the names of the players are as long as those that turn out for Saints are busting their guts to fight for the cause, then I'm happy to keep renewing.

Another pathetic thread... If you want to get rid of your season ticket then get rid of it you don't need to create a thread about it. However I suspect you don't really want to you're just looking for attention. If you're upset that some players that you've heard of are being replaced by some that you haven't well **** happens. Get over it and if you want to support the team then do so, otherwise we can live without you.

You can't be ready with replacements until the new manager has made his choice. Imagine bringing a load of new players in and the new boss takes a look at them and thinks they're ****. I have no doubt that Koeman knows the types a of player he wants and in typical Saints style, they are going about their business to bring these players in in private. If they publicised who they were trying to get in just to appease the moister sheeted fans on this forum then that would be a good reason to criticise the board. Patience is a virtue.

As far as I recall, Lambert, Lallana and Shaw are the only leavers so far and two have already been replaced. Others will leave but you can't complain about them leaving whilst completely ignoring the fact that replacements will be brought in. Not unless you're a complete moron of course whose only intent is to be a WUM and are happy to end up with egg on your face at the end of the transfer window.
