Saint Billy

I've been saying this for years but they all still seem to be lured by the dosh rather than guaranteed regular playing time.

I don't thonk anyone is writing him off, just not the immediate answer to our lack of goals atm. It would be unfair and detrimental to him to bring him back and expect him to starting knocking in goals growth spurt or not.

Mane always looks miserable playing for us even when he scores, get top dollar for him and get rid even if the newspapers are spinning a yarn. I'm getting sick and tired of saints plucking these players from obscurity and within months they think we're too small for them and that they owe nothing to us.

Getting him isn't easy either.

I don't, what we want is a manager who is wanted by bigger clubs which in essence means he is doing the business for us, rewarding him for staying with us and supplying the funds and backup for him to do his job properly. We cant have a team managed by a mediocre manager and ahem, mediocre players, none of which are wanted by other clubs, and expect a relatively good season.

Have to agree with this, he would galvanise our midfield for a start and he also has a decent shot in his locker plus he is English.

I'm still waiting for most of our present players to come good.

Is anyone confident that we will buy someone who can actually make a difference?

Who wouldn't?

Can anyone crack the code ?

According to some on here we dont need to!!

Why dont we look in the lower leagues, surely there is talent there good enough to bring on instead of wasting money on unknown foreign imports who find it difficult to settle into the Prem.

That is certainly the end of Bend it like Beckham, its got to be called the Cuco Bend from now on!.

Is that goal out of the blue/a one off or is he known for having a dig like that? If he can produce a shot like that and have a tidy game like he did today I would be inclined to keep him in the side.

Trousers, just stop it will you, enough is enough:)

Just a tad.

Your enjoying this aren't you Trousers,

Waste of time doing football bets this season!

I happily have egg on my face!!

Double gulp!!

I am and still will be, game not over yet.

Gulp! It'll never last!!

Blimey, is Koeman trying to get his contract ended early.

Loss Loss Draw

I think I will have a massive hangover for this game so that the result falls into insignificance.
