Press are ramping up the articles and links. Seems he will get his pick of any of the top 7 in the premier league.

Saints dont do release clauses

It's like watching a boxing match where one guy stands there and just gets punched over and over, no attempt to fight back and is then KOd in the 2nd round. Would much prefer to see a few punches thrown and landed rather than the dross served up this season. At least get KOd with some pride ffs BIG 6 results = LLLDDLLL (scored 4) so far - compare that to last season LWDLWWWDLWWW (scored 24) we just aren't throwing punches under Puel. Man up Puel #ffs

Southampton to Plymouth is 155 miles Arsenal to Cardiff is 155 miles

We have our rival it's Portsmouth - I rarely think about them these days. Notice a handful are still obsessed but they are irrelevant just now. They've been temporarily replaced by teams we are bitter towards (for taking our players and or managers) namely Spurs, Liverpool and Everton.

What has our league finishes from 100 years ago got to with today? Don't let your past dictate your futute.

The Mane thread gets put forward as an example alot - looks to me like it was a thread where a handful were questioning his form but the majority on the thread felt he was a proper talent and we're proved right.

That might seal VVDs exit. Imagine Reed will stay on too? Or is he planning on retiring? Any ITKs know his plans? Imagine Kat is annoyed

According to the latest finances we receive about 70-75% of the reported transfer totals (after agents, player and previous clubs are paid) so we potentially received about 20-22m for Mane (+all Long's ability according to a few) yet Reed was praised.....

The constant excuse made for Puel is that he has no goal scorers and its almost a miracle that we are joint with Watford. Long scored 17 last season. Jay scored 18 last season he was fit. He does have goal scorers he just hasn't got the best from any of them.

Shane long scored 17 last season

The circumstances were the same, if not worse for Koeman When Koeman arrived he lost Lallana and Lambert (sold) and Jay (long term injury) - they were our main source of goals. Between them 38 goals and 22 assists season before. Puel lost Mane and Pelle (22 league goals)

Our squad is still better than Evertons. When Koeman arrived we lost Shaw, Lallana, Lovren, Lambert, Chambers - he didn't make excuses and we didn't need to make them for him. Puel has divided the fan base. He's marmite

We should have done way more to keep him. I like lucky managers

Take back the best of the rest crown from Everton and play attractive and attacking football Less respect for the big 6 on and off the pitch If Puel does stay then he needs to rethink his style and approach to games

Koeman has engineered a 33 point swing from last season... Given the respective squads that's outrageous. Koeman is the far better manager - absolutely no contest.

Puncheon taking a dump during the game

8 days to prepare and I would predict far more intensity and attack for this one. Our results against the Top 6 have been very disappointing thus far. LLLDDLLL (scored 4) so far - compare that to last season LWDLWWWDLWWW (scored 24) difference is the approach and respect we now seem to have for the BIG 6 Chelsea have far more to lose, we need to get at them fast and early. Make them nervous, don't let them settle and dictate without a fight.

A cheeky repeat of last season would be v.nice Tough match, but 8 days to prepare and with Romeu back + Gabbi fully fit you never know. 9th time lucky against the BIG 6 in the league. Let's get at them, sit deep and we will lose.

We seem to have given far to much respect to the BIG 6 this season. If Reed isn't talking about selling players to the top 6 then Puel is setting up with far too much courtesy to the top 6. Weve seen with the EFL that the way to beat these sides is attack, Puel just keeps playing the same song but expecting a different beat. City are a good side, but if all u need is a good side then we'd be 7th and we'll clear of WBA, Watford, Burnley and AFCB

Lets hope not. 16m seemed to be the fee reported at the time

What happened there?

Could understand our original setup. Game plan was to frustrate and try and nick a goal Just didn't have a plan once they scored and all seems a bit predictable again.
