Saint Billy

10th or below, no higher.

I think tongue might be firmly placed in cheek!

The trouble is, aren't we jeopardizing being safely established if everything is put on hold because the club is up for sale ie strengthening the squad.

Wasn't it stated once by Cortese that he was considering teaming up with wealthy Chinese ex clients to put an other in for the club?. This was a long time ago mind you.

Nukes incoming !!

I suppose watching videos of saints last season is too out there.

Good post that!.

Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to what is the clubs ambition atm?, as it's very difficult to correlate ambition with the club being up for sale.

Brave post on here atm, prepare yourself as dissenters are not welcome in this place.

Agreed, but what about Deadly Catch?, how will I survive?.

Plus, is Vvd match fit yet?

So much for "Saints hold all the cards".

Not on the field it doesn't.

Very true, I feel exactly the same.

The club do not hold all the cards if Vvd refuses to play.

I would be more than happy with just the signing of Sigurdsson as it is a perfect fit, but cannot get my hopes up when the only link is based on someone supposedly seeing him drive into the training ground.

It's coming to something when signing someone from Swansea is just a pipe dream.

Half witted!, not a good start. Are you aware that this forum is in existence for us mere mortals to voice our own opinions whether you or someone else agree's with them or not. As our dear club is not as transparent as it claimed it would be, we have to sometimes guess at its plans for the future on and off the field. With regard to the future, is our well run and sustainable club up for sale or not?. Will the possible take over by Chinese ownership still be able to maintain the so called Southampton way and run the club prudently?. Yes we are lucky, very lucky we are still in existence, but unless you support one of the top 6 sides your glass ia always going to be half full, your best players will always leave along with the better managers and both will always want to be part of a club that offers more than what Southampton FC does. This is bound to have a negative affect on the fans eventually, especially Saints fans to which it happens almost annually. This is not just a Southampton FC problem but a modern day problem with football in general, even Arsenal fans throw their toys out of the pram regularily. The game is dying in my book mainly due to the gross amounts of money in the game and unless the playing field is evened up in some way so that more clubs have a chance of being more competitive fans will start deserting the game, plus we will see more negative games where the minnow clubs will just shut shop and play 10 men in defence as this is the only way to get a possible result against a team of elite footballers. Rant concluded.

This all depends if Austin can stay fit and find some form, if we can create chances for Gabbi, if Tadic can be more consistent, if Redmond can convert more chances, if Forster can play like he did when he first joined us, and for me the most important part, whether our midfield can produce more attacking play rather than constant back passes and square passing. If the manager has the belief that this can happen with our present squad then we have no need for new players but I have serious doubts.

We want someone who can splash it all over!.

Cheers, that clears that up then.

Sorrry, I must try harder to be witty

Not keen on Loftus Cheek, sounds like a character from Life of Brian.
