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.

I used to go to school (and live) not far from Biggin Hill. Every year we'd have Lancasters and Spifires fly over and every time people would stop and look in awe as they flew over. Went to Leeds Castle this year and two Spits did a display. Awesome machines.

Not sure why you would think it is a problem to have two decent keepers on the books? Of course the club want to keep him, why wouldnt they?

Perhaps he could use that as his next User Name? Sounds appropriate.

Ah I see, so we are all living in a parrallel universe and none of this is real - explains a lot!!!

Are you Artur? How do you know so much about what he thinks? I am sure it sucks being replaced and I am sure it will give him time to relect on the couple of howlers he made last year that cost us points but he is being paid a lot of money to do what many of us would do for nothing. Forgive me if I dont have much sympathy for him but this is a professional sport and at some point in his career he must have taken te number 1 spot from another keeper.

So he is quite happy to be No2 and play for the No 1 jersey until such time as he can get a transfer? Seems reasonable to me if that is the case.
