That would be a massive disappointment and probably our worst looking kit in decades!

Shouldn't be sold unless we are spending big on a replacement! It's classic saints fans don't know what we've got till it's gone! I remember when we were first in the championship people cried out for a goal scorer we got rasiac and the forums slated him for bringing nothing but goals. Sadly the average football fan isn't clever enough to talk about the game!

He needs to drop down a few levels and play a full season out of the limelight to see if there is anything there still, it really is sad to see a player fall so far so fast.

Have to agree with this we are due a season of adjustment at some point, I wouldn't be happy with a top ten finish next season what with the added European games and the inevitable summer upheaval, a little step backwards but hopefully allowing us to consolidate and push on again.

A gamble that didn't work out but not a big risk so best for both parties that he moves on.

Clauses are irrelevant it is up to us if we sell and assume the response to any enquiries will be a simple come back with double that offer or get stuffed, I would have no problem selling players to them provided they are willing to pay the same idiot tax they have paid for our manager silly season is definitely in full swing if managers command 5m transfer fees hell that's more than we paid for Rory the Long throw Delap (why did that never work for us?)!

The web is full of such stories and the only complaints I've read seem pretty valid!

That article really is the worst form of click bait imaginable, all they have seen is that Koeman has worked with him twice so therefor must want to take him with him, the article even says he was a key player for us last season which I'm sure even he wouldn't agree with! Oh and your right if that's the player he most wants and we sting them for a profit nobody will bat an eye lid!

I suspect they never thought they would get triggered and if they did 20m or so is a good price for a player in a mid table team !

desperately needs a proof reader and any fan who wants Moyes is mad the last thing we want is a negative manager coming in on the back of two failures.

This we should simply stipulate as part of the terms of letting him speak to Everton and I would also make it clear that no player fiollows him this transfer window, unless of course he wants to start the bidding for victor at 30mil!

Think it was probably a bit of a joke as he sounds so similar to poch lol!

I've said all along if he wasn't going to sign an extension then he should go I never want a repeat of the drift at the end of the strachan reign again it was a disaster for the club so everton's interest is perfect as we can pretend to be all ****ed off and demand a big wedge of compo while really we were going to sack him anyway! Almost as sweet as when the scots 'poached' burley from us! Just for giggles we should refuse to release his brother and put him on gardening leave for a year then at least we will know which one was doing the best work! Ooh forgot #wemelton (that has to be the tag of the summer!)

We won't bring in a manager who wants to radically change things we have played a broadly similar formation and style since we returned to the top flight with a few minor tweaks along the way. Any manager who joins the club will be expected to continue this so there will be no twitchy style influx of dodgy crap! We have been victims of our own success lately which is both a blessing and a curse but I for one would rather the club stick to it's principles and plans than risk busting the bank on gambles and greedy individuals that don't want to be here.

about as likely as me being the next saints manager!

He reminds me of Matt Oakley solid but unspectacular will probably play for us for ten years amass 500 appearances 12 goals and a great testimonial. Academy players will go one of three ways 1. Great players we will have for 1-2 seasons before they leave for 'champions league football' 2. Decent pro's who will stay and do a job ie JWP 3. Not good enough will wash out to the lower leagues and generally disappear apart from the occasional late bloomer who makes us look dumb. JWP will never be Paul scholes but that doesn't stop him doing a job for the club so quit moaning!

Still one of the best footballers I've ever seen in the red and white stripes, truly wasted in WGS's system but I'll never forget him dismantling Spurs!

I was really pleased when we got him, looked a real prospect and was England u21 Captain what a disappointment but he was good at clapping the fans! Delap was our record signing for so long it was embarrassing and Hirst before that!

Totally agree with this, so far Austin looks a terrible piece of business he might eat sleep and live goals but he needs two working knees to be any use, jury is still very much out for me. Similarly with Jrod he looks gone from what I've seen so far so realistically getting pelle to sign a minimum 1 year extension should be top priority or we could be starting next season with only one forward! I'll be gutted if Tadic leaves unless it is for silly season money when he plays we are a better team he has been a revelation and I'm surprised it has taken this long for the wolves to circle!

Funny how nobody mentions SKD giving the fans the bird at Hillsborough when Wednesday thrashed us 5-0 and he was absolutely hopeless! Got a lot of time for the guy and he is clearly very popular in the dressing room but he let himself and the club down very badly that day. Hope he enjoys his retirement and the club give him a shot at a role off the pitch.

to be fare Lallana has been playing better and better under Klopp but I do have to admit to having a chuckle when they lost that final!

Palace win for me, I can't bring myself to support Man Utd we should be perfectly capable of winning the qualifying games like we should have done this year.

approximately as long as he remains at Arsenal as it is clear that Wenger breaks players even though he likes to dismiss the evidence.

Cyrus Christie looks like a decent prospect, derby's youngsters seem to know how to play football properly!

Lee Holmes has always had a huge amount of talent sadly his body just can't keep up I remember when he got injured for about the millionth time playing for us watching him smash the turf in frustration he must have a real feeling of what could have been!
