Saint Billy

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.

Please god no!.

Make my day why don't you.

Apart from the obvious Le God it has to be Ron Davies, Mr reliability in front of goal.

The fact that it has gone quiet with Lander again is more indicative. If Lander had the funds this would have been done ages ago. Hopefully its not happening.

I hear you!

I only wear a tie at funerals, hopefully our new manager feels the same.

Gardos cover.

Looking good.

Enjoy the journey and good luck, get us playing like we did under mopo and we'll be happy campers.

Red on white?

Just in case anyone resurrects this thread in a year or two, I am fully supportive of Pellegrino and although I know very little about him I wish him well.

If he is 90% of poch I'm happy with that

I'm with you on that so there's a first.

Gulp!
