Saint IQ

Well if Van Beek has more to learn and is expected to move to a big club in a year or two then Southampton is the perfect place

The most depressing thing about this now is we never managed to get the "We got the Toby All-der-world in our hands" song going.

Here we have an 18 year old Spurs fan deciding to register to a saints forum pretending to be a saints fan...... What a life

Thanks for your time random supporter of the ****e team in North London, a couple of points Poch kept saying "Don't worry I have 1 year left on my contract" You did poach him and Mitchell. You tried with Jay Rod and Morgan with laughable offers. As for never finishing above you in the Premier League I suggest you do your research, can't be a very good 'Fan' of the club if you didn't realise we finished above you in the 2002-3 season where we also stuffed you 4-0 on the way to the final of the F.A cup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002%E2%80%9303_FA_Premier_League

Because Everton are bigger than us and Swansea's players don't turn out to be as good as ours, except Bony oh and Allen, apparently Also Mirallas won't sign a new deal and Lukaku won't be there forever. We just seem to buy/Develop more high quality players than them, which is a good thing surely

I think we'll go young and Dutch, possibly 1 of these 3 1-Sven van beek 20, youth apps for Holland, 41 apps Dutch League-Played under Koeman 2-Terence Kongolo 21, 2apps Holland 54apps Dutch League-Played under Koeman 3-Virgil van Dijk 23, youth apps for Holland 62 apps Dutch League, 71 apps Scottish League- From Celtic who we always seem to buy players from! We have no chance of top 4 in the short-medium term so we might as well sign young players and develop them, hope they're loyal or sell them off to the highest bidder. That's the way it is, if you don't like it go support one of the elite. We are not them.

Isn't Hoffenhiem a tiny village with a population of 3,000 and something, can't really compare them to saints although I get your point

I just hope Spurs have an awful start, Toby's hamstrings carry on giving him grief and Poch gets the boot by xmas. Premier league is becoming more and more competitive, Harry Kane will get less space and time this season and more attention. Hope De Gea goes to Madrid, Loris to United. You can't say many if any of these fixtures are 'bankers' Finally lets hope that #WeMarchOn #UpTheSaints

Would old Radhi Jaidi be able to have a word with him joining, haven't seen much of him but he's class on all the FM's

This better bit I don't get off some of our fans, last season they were lucky, very lucky Eriksen, Kane and Loris won most of their points on there own They might well be better with Toby and Trippier now amoungst their ranks but before when we had Toby they weren't better, they were on par with us and I think it's clear Poch and Levy knew that and acted on it. Win win for them, get a quality CB who conceded the least goals all season bar Chelsea and weaken the competition.

We might have to play 60+ games this season so probably will.

I rate Yoshida, barely put a foot wrong last year, obviously we'll sign someone but he'll have to be bloody good. Not too keen on this Ogbonna guy myself

Yoshida's time to shine. Go on son. Take the league by storm. Could be his first year where he gets to play 30+ games for us.

Can't believe Clyne's retweeted this what on Earth.

I hope either way we know for certain where he is next season by page 60. Enough is enough.

well it was 10m euros so if true we are offering double that.

Off course they can, if nothing is signed and sealed that is.

I see it's already posted, this 'done deal' 'having medical yesterday, today and probably tomorrow' 'Deal imminent' stuff is just mental if he's not actually having one or close to a deal. Happened with our other defectors but not to this extreme scale.

The agent of Toby Alderweireld has said there currently isn't an agreement in place with anyone. #THFC Vic Alderweireld: "We have a concrete agreement with no one." #THFC Vic Alderweireld: "There are conversations right and left but currently there are no changes from the last few weeks." #THFC Vic Alderweireld: "We're still early in the transfer window. So we wait as we did in previous years." #THFC

https://twitter.com/svenclaes this guy hasn't said anything since last night

Phillip? He's a bit too old now I agree, class in his day though

You always say "As i said before" when everything you say is on SSN and websites all over the internet, I don't think you know anything more than any other saints fan

For sure! Spurs and Liverpool's tactics the last two summers has been to disrupt our rise, I mean there's dozens of quality CB's, RB's, AM's, Target men, Head scouts and Managers all over the world but they had to purge ours. Spurs will have 6 first team CB's on there books if they don't sell any and Liverpool have nearly a dozen attacking midfielders!

If Alpine had said that I'd be far more inclined to agree, we are one of the best run clubs in the world FFS Alpine and are clearly punching above our weight, I don't believe we're going to stand still or go down either, we'll just keep trying to get amoungst the heavy weights year on year. What a time to be a saints fan we've never had it so good in my lifetime! Are you just an attention seeker? That seems to me to be the most sane explanation

Spurs drifting from 1/4 on to 5/6 JOINT favs with us! http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/toby-alderweireld/club-after-summer-transfer-window We have gone from 11/4 to 5/6 since the 5th Please say this means something positive for us likelyhood is it's just punters placing bets since the legal mumbo jumbo came out
