For all the grief that has been levelled at the Board, for me it was apparent that they meant business when they hired this guy. He is the real deal. We may not win the Champions League under him but we have a safe pair of hands and a guy who isnt going to take any cr@p. The way he has dealt with Morgan and Boruc is spot on as it is with Taider. He hasnt been fazed by the goings on this summer and is straight forward and honest in his dealings with the press. I am not a lover of Twitter but his Tweats say what you want to hear from someone who wants the fans to know that he is on their wavelength. Yes, early doors but from what I have seen so far this is the best Saints signing for some time.

It is far too early to say who will be the biggest success in the Premiership but as a manage and human being I am more than happy with our guy.

It is way to early to give Pelle hero status but it was even more crazy writing him off after a couple of games. The signs look good but it is a long hard season. One thing I am sure of though - Ronald K knows his football.

So pleased for Ronald Koeman and Pelle. Delighted too for Reed and the Board. That is the way to deal with all of the snide comments and criticism. SFC still mean business. And a big mention for Morgan. That is the way to say sorry!!!

Trouble is Motson doesnt count because he spends his career watching football and not sitting behind a PC.

You say that it hasnt been a good window for us after two games in the league. At this point I would say it has been a lot better for us than QPR and Palace and Burnley and Leicester and etc etc. But then you spend your life picking holes in the club and that seems to get you off. You must be praying that we get relegated so that you can come on here and have a field day. As I said before, get a girlfriend and take up golf

Bern please, not Bernie. I am glad you hope he scores more but why post what you did. The way you come across is as a doom merchant. The club have lost a lot of players because the club has been successful and bigger teams want our players. Is that a bad thing? We have a good manager who is trying to get things on track. Is that a bad thing? If we get relegated you and the other negative posters here can have a field day. I like to think though that most right minded Saints fans want to get behind the club and hope for the best. I dont care how many goals Long scores but I do hope that he makes a positive contribution to the squad this season. You sound like you will be picking over his every mistake. I think there is a massive difference in our outlook.

For once we agree Alps. Delldays posts childish drivel!

QPR and Palace are really tearing up the premiership..I am sure I can find others but frankly it isnt worth spending any more time on this cr*p.

Okay Delldays, let us really hope that he doesnt score 10 to 12 goals this season and just think how good you can feel about yourself. FFS get a grip mate. It is almost as if you are willing the team to fail.

Noooooo well balanced comments here please. We are only at home to the wrist slitting, bedwetting, glass half empty posters.

Of course you couldnt care about comparing other Premiership clubs because it doesnt help your agenda. You dont know we will be miles off until the seaon is well under way but that doesnt stop you talking rubbish Delldays does it?

I asked a non Saints fan earlier and he had no idea what was happening at the club. He is a Manchester United fan and spent hours telling me how pants their transfer window had been.

So you have decided against getting a girlfriend or taking up golf Charlie. Best hit the Prozac before the season is well under way then mate.

Terrible? Really? Perhaps you should wait and see where we finish before you make such generalised statements Charlie.

FFS what is wrong with the people on this board? He was not a starter and reaised quite quickly that he couldnt settle here but somehow the sky has fallen in. Get a grip!!!

I dont think the problem with Townsend is wages - that seems more about Schneiderlin. Generally I think it is about wages. Clubs like QPR are prepared to pay more than us it seems (which I dont have a problem with).

I think the problem is wages.

Perhaps we didnt want him?

Isnt she the tart who sh@gs her brother in Game of Thrones?

Koeman has been very adament that Schneiderlin isnt leaving so dont know where the swap stuff comes from?

I am not sure how you could implement a salary cap. It must be in contravention of employment laws. Even then I am sure they would find ways around paying people more. Even if there was a slalry cap, how would you stop players wanting to go to the "big" clubs and play CL football?

I nearly went to live in the States a few years ago but as much as I would have lived by their laws and conventions there is no way I would be anything but British. It is in my DNA. Anything else is just cosmetic.

But if you were Boruc isnt that what you would say?

At least before we had the Totty threads to liven things up when there was a lull in activity on the transfer front. I know tha Irene has the hots for Artur but I dont think he counts as Totty for us fellas.
