Didn't he get sacked after 10 games with Inter? This guy has really bad luck.. (or he's crap, or both)

Utterly stupid thread. 4 games...

You have mentioned Puel three times in the match thread already. FFS he's gone, get over it.

This code worked for me! THANKS!

When is it realistically to think he will be back in the starting eleven? Assuming he has been in full training all summer, he should be quite ready to go . Ofc I'll take it for granted he has his head back on.

He was highly rated in France and had plenty of suitors before we got him, even top-clubs. He's not an average player, he has the potential to be top-class. He has superior ability and potential than anyone of our current midfielders. I think an in-form Boufal is the only missing piece of the puzzle in our squad now that VVD stayed.

Pretty poor ITK record, you have 0 % accuracy so far.

Amazing return for Spurs. 3-4 times the money they paid for a guy who has been on their bench for 2 years.

Standard quotes from the Puel lovers .. Pellegrino >*1000 Puel anyways.

"Chelsea and Liverpool look set to battle it out to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after he turned down a new £180K a week deal at Arsenal." Im glad we are not after him, massively overpaid player and what has he really done to deserve 180k a week?!

Replacing Mane is almost as hard for us as it is for Barcelona to replace Neymar. Mane is a rare breed, there is very very few of those gems around. And we have tried in Boufal which still can deliver. Also we got 38,5 million for Mane.

I don't think he accepts being a squad player any longer. My guess is that the contract renewal been taking some time because he wanted assurances of first team football this season. VVD out and Hoedt and Yoshida is first choice from now is my bet.

Great professional, loves the club and has turned out to be a solid CB. Good news! But can't help thinking this means one of our CBs (VVD) is on his way now...

Tom28 has been accurate before but I just think its odd that the if the situation is toxic and inevitable we are gonna sell him, why on earth would Les Reed say " we believe he (Hoedt) can develop even further here at Southampton, alongside his international teammate Virgil van Dijk" to further signal he's going nowhere.

We were lucky to win it and a bit thanks to the ref. So glad Super Charlie took the penalty in the end too. Our defense was shaky today, couldn't deal with the crosses West Ham put in. I don't know what has happened to Tadic but he's always looking out of form. Time for Boufal. JWP - those who can't see what he's offering should look at his play today. EVERY ball he put in to the box was spot on and no one in the team can put in crosses like him.

Can people forget about Gardos. He's only here to pick up his pay-check for the remainder of his contract. I don't think the club counts on him on any level.

I will give VVD my 100 per cent support if he comes back to the team. He's way too valuable for this team. I don't give a **** about the person VVD, but i do care about whats best for this football club.

Talked to an old friend from Italy yesterday who happens to be a Lazio supporter. I asked about Hoedt, and he was in general positive. Fantastic left foot, great physic, and pretty fast for a tall guy. His positional play, understanding of the game and some times lack of concentration is his biggest weaknesses (which is pretty serious for a defender). 17 million euro for a player who's they got for free, not a regular starter is "fantastic money" and he's sure that Lazio wants the deal to go through. So all in all, good player but some good coaching needed. He asked me in return who this Van dijk guy is, he can't be any better than de vrij

Of course Puels biggest fan thinks that way. I guess some of the hardcore Puels fans wants Pellegrino to fail just to prove it wasn't about Puel. Thats why we after one game see stupid thread headlines like this.

Lads, go take a pint and chill, the goals will come. It was not Puel written all over this game besides the 0-0. I'm excited for the new season.

We deserved to win. It was a good game by saints overall. Optimistic for the future. Way different and more positive than Puels tactics.

Redknapp have been far worse than Carragher lately. And that ****er has even played for us. Carrager has played for Liverpool is whole life so he's always gonnna be biased towards Pool.

Wimmer is not better than Yoshida and on par with Stephens. Whats the point? If we're replacing VVD we need to aim higher.

On RAWK "Secondly, Barca can **** themselves with their constant leaks to their local press. It's a constant feature of their negotiation style and if the footballing hierarchy is to be changed, then it's time clubs with financial muscle stood up to them." LOL.
