Heard how this deal came about. De Ridder mentioned to someone that he wanted to play in the premiership as it was the best league to play in he thinks. This guy mentioned it to Svensson (take it he was talking about Michael not Anders) and he said come to Southampton as it would be a great place to learn the English game, the words give it two years in that league and you will be ready was mentioned. So does he wait for us to get there or does he demand a transfer? Anyway thanks Michael for this as early signs tell us he is going to be a gem.

Phew It's not just me who thought that!

Or play football for 15k a week with the risk of breaking a leg which could end your career or earn 55k a week with a sign on fee of 1m and sitting on a wooden bench. No brainer really as his loyalty is ****!

Football is a business, If someone offers you 6m then he's going whether he wants to stay or not. Perhaps they see this as a chance to bring in a more proven striker at a higher level like Carlton Cole? However this Lambert rumour I will give it 0.5% on happening because Rickie has never let us down and Adkins can see he offers us so much more than just his goalscoring.

Fonte to Alex 'If you look at my girlfriend again I will rip your head off, ok'?

'Do you want me to lend you a tenner Alex'?

Well said David in Sweden saved me writing a crappy version of yours :-D I honestly believe we can get to the Premiership with a good goalscorer as we need to have a striker on the pitch who can break fast for us, speed is the biggest fear for any defence. I'm going for these choices: Sordell from Watford Frimpong from Arsenal Some unknown striker from the Cortese network.

I will have to say it on behalf of most Saints fans. I was so grateful for what Marcus did for us, but I can't justify paying even more money when you fork out for season tickets, new saints shirts for me and my son etc. Sorry but I'm glad you guys attended, well done.

Bristol!

Just a thought after the Matty Taylor link. We've had some quality signings from ex skates considering they have been in our shadows for so long. Quashie, Crouch & Viarafara (haha can't spell it! Who would you rate as the best and what good ex saints went onto becoming a skate? I have Channon as the only one right now.

First up we won't sign him and statements like yours are plain silly! So when Peter Crouch signed up did you threaten the same thing? I must add he was the last best striker we had you know!

I can't think that we've ever had one at our club before, Matty Mills is the closiest one I've thought of.

Just heard they will be talking to Adkins about Oxy and maybe other things soon.

I said it would be just like Huddersfield so I will take all the money :-D

After watching the short video my marks of 7 has gone up to 9. really does look very nice, the back looks very good indeed, so happy with it now. Why does that photo shoot make it look crap!

The long sleeve looks funny but the short sleeves look better. give it 7 out 10.

Come again?

So he can save me a seat :-)

I will take a spanner to the game so I can take my seat down the concourse with me.

Saw a phone video of Beatts a few years back at a party, stay clear as the guy has become a loser.

I see the mirror had to feel some space in the sports section last night? I would love to work for that **** paper [sits in his office playing spin a bottle for bull**** headlines]

My son and I hope to go but my daughter refuses to come along which makes it difficult for me.

I would not go that far, watching Bolton on the Sunday live match takes some beating.

The whole game?!? Where did I ever say that as that would be stupid! I would love to see how Arsenal and Manchester United did it on the tours they are on, probably loads of subs about the 70th mark and not letting anyone do 90 minutes.

I hope not! This is what ****s me off, the amount of times we start the first game of the season and a manager will admit I'm not sure what my best team is yet. Get the players upto match fitness quickly and start to gel as a team please. Thank you.
