I've seen loads of videos during the pre season and our attacking players are hitting the back of the net quite frequently. Then you start watching some pre season friendlies and the standards of our goalkeeper before you realise it's them who make our very own look good in training. 5 year contract ha ha.

Can I be the first one to say this? Pellegrino out

I think I've worked out the problem we have at the moment and it's really simple too. Everytime we have a great player we sell them and replace them with someone who is average.

Yes, The way it's going 'The River Itchen.'

Where too as nobody will pay us what he is worth to us. Ps I'm not sure why we have two Virgil Van T*** threads?

According to the echo he is still on strike. Why does he not put in a request to leave? I know he will lose his bonus but **** me if he is desperate to leave then go.

Ha ha behave.3 or 4 to improve the first team?Struggling to think of any other player in the last two years that has improved us other than Gabbi.

2 things. First one it signals to the other players we will back down in the end. Second, We will not bring in 2/3 bloody good players because we don't. Probably buy average players to develop and sell for a profit or another squad player to fit in with the others.

Fraser Forster is going to carry on being ****e.

Me 2

Class

Thoughts so far after 3 per season matches. Austin is not a natural no 10, if only we could buy a class one. Peid pretty good going forward and not as good as Soares in defending. Taggart has done well so far. Boufal and Bertrand work well together. Not sure Clasie and Long will feature much when you only give them 15 minutes to impress today. Finally our defending can be shaky sometimes as they lack organizing and composure.

Tell him a swap deal for Kane instead?

A Donker?

Always sad news when a passionate Saints fan passes away. Will raise a glass to you and our Markus up there.

Had our pants pulled down by Liverpool and VVD. Dont care if they have paid over the odds, it's the fact it's bloody Liverpool and those smug fans I hate.

Saints don’t have a huge budget and have been very conservative in the transfer window so far Could of fooled me? ha ha

Heard from someone tonight and I have no idea if he knows anything at all. We have targeted many players but our new no selling hard stance is working against us. We wanted some loan options from Chelsea but we lost out as Chelsea would not deal with us because we won't deal with them. Also Manchester City. Then Celtic won't let us do any deals with them because we are not selling VVD where they are after 10%. Seriously the guy who told me this could be right but it does feel strange clubs are reacting like this.

Good point but you do fear Spurs will hold on to theirs while we can't. Lallana, Chambers and Shaw for starters.

I'd like to know what was on the end of that?

I think Les Reed is in shock on how the prices have inflated this summer. Is he looking in the bargain basement at the moment and seeing Jack Schitt?

We can debate VVD as much as we want but the decision lies with one person. If Les Reed thinks he is bad for the morale of the club he will leave for Liverpool no doubt. A statement will come out saying we tried as hard as we could to stop him but action was taken because of the circumstances. Sorry, but I can't trust Les on what is going to happen next as a half a dozen others have left for the same place.

So the squad is off to France next week and VVD will be left to train on his own at Staplewood. Does that mean a fitness coach stays with him to do ball practice or do they say a spare ball will be left on the ****ty pitch and it needs pumping up. Shame he is not docked wages too for lack of respect to his contracted team.

It will be Jack Stephens next because it's never going to stop.

It's important we make a stand here as the club has so many other players on long term contracts. If VVD gets his way then the contract will mean jack **** for them too.
