Sounds like a pile of ****. He's not going anywhere. Last I heard, he was favourite to be team captain.

None taken

Human?

Badger? Or Bear?

Rat?

I was talking slightly more realistically, that we will replace leavers at the very least. Guan seems to believe 4 or 5 players may be coming in. Even without them I can't see many of the poor teams that finished below us last season overtaking us. I would agree there is a chance that we will finish outside the top half but it's certainly not a given as the post I quoted seemed to suggest.

Yes we will.

I'd second that. Linda Lusardi does it for me but there again so did Victoria Principal.

I was going to go with Mick Shannon but that would have been far too silly.

Michael Svensson?

Yep, I'm thinking a little lower in the league (10th) and taking the cups seriously so we have a proper go at it this year.

Lol

Doh! Although I expect mini-me could do a deal for forum members

Do season ticket holders get 10% discount on Veho products at the Saints shop?

Has he gone to Swindon or is he up north?

So more of a 'nice to have' than someone essential for us to finish 8th as we managed to finish 8th without this attacking squad player last year. By the way the 'attacking squad player' would be the sort of person I mean that wouldn't get a game. We're not going to get high quality players coming here to sit on the bench, we're not Liverpool after all

A Guly replacement... essential? Really? I'm sure we could get by without replacing someone who played so few minutes last season as to make no difference to our season whatsoever.

Are you really suggesting that Koeman came into the role without knowing exactly what was going on with Schneiderlin and Lovren? Do you not think that either he or his advisers have access to the Internet or newspapers then? Those two were in the news long before he got here. I think you're very much underestimating Koeman if you think he turned up here with his eyes closed. He would have known more about the goings on at the club before he arrived than anyone on this forum does now. You seem to think he turned up, was told a pack of lies by the board and bought it all without making his own enquiries. Just a ridiculous suggestion.

7! WTF are we going to do with seven new signings. I'm imagining that you're talking about a GK, LB, 2xCB, CF. Where are the others (that would be unlikely to get a game) going?

Me too. Still quite snug round the middle... I guess that puts me in the 'fatties' category.

Man City Chelsea The Arsenal Man Utd Saints somewhere between 8th and 10th. Newcastle and West Ham have strengthened but I can't see anyone else catching us. Also think we'll have a good go at one I the cups this year after last year's furore (if that's the right word) Relegated WBA Sunderland Burnley

Lol
