It used to be 'struggling Southampton'.

Thank-you for taking the trouble to do that. It is very interesting. As posted our loans not as good as our signings. To be fair our signings have been consistantly decent

what is the percentage of our good buys to poor ones in the last 3 seasons? if you count the loans in I suspect it is slightly better than 60-40.

I'm not sure somebody returning from injury should be considering being part of a Pulis training game

Oh I didnt realise I was a time lord and any reference in the future was part of it lol. You are a very sad individual that you have to wait for a post and then in the future when the PR is mentioned you add that to try and prove you are correct. I wonder if you realy do have a mental problem, Wes Tender did have name for it somewhile ago. It was something to do with having to be seen to be right, as though it was a major importance in your life. As I dont care I will say that yes you were right and I was wrong. I do hope that will ease your distress as my original post must have been at least a week ago.

to narrow it down ,its not the ones who question the way the club is being run through lack of investment.

I hope it is as he is a close friend of very good friends of mine. I have met him a couple of times and is a really decent bloke

Im not actually saying that, Iam saying that if to stay in profit after all the other revenues have been taken out we still need transfer dealing to be our profit we are in the mire. We cannot rely on having big transfer deals each and every year.

Reading the last few posts infers that our business model is rubbish as it is only the transfers that keep us going. Well apart from VVD and Forster there aint much left to sell for decent money. I wonder how many posters on here are from PR companies. A lot of new names have appeared in the last few weeks/months

a 2.1in maths doesn't make you a football pundit. I just think it was awkward and even the normally smooth Jeff Stelling was strugling

it is about gender not letching, now if you said as she is on countdown I would agree but she has really toned her clothing down. Just a token woman to annoy with a stupid laugh. Personally I think there are a lot of very decent female personalities around who are engaging that would do a better job than Riley.

I will be delighted if we sign 3 players but it will look a bit last minute panic mode. I personally would like us to sign a player who has played in the Pl and if a forward. Has scored a decent amount of goals as that is what we need most. My preference would be Bony as he is big strong and has played at a smaller club before making the big move. Hopefully he will want to really rekindle his career with us

lol

I wonder how long Sky will keep Rachael Riley, she may be ok on the eye but talk about dumbing things down to suit PC Oh and Neville was 100% correct

I assume all this is all in your humble opinion?

Is that right? if so that is of grave concern. Puel has no experience of any other league other than the French one and so boy have we taken a risk

if he couldn't even acknowledge Long as he came off, doubt he had a thought for the fans

Who is saying buy anyone, please point us where that is said. Conversely do you think that not getting more players in of decent quality is right?

Hutch, you might do so in a years time lol:(

Id prefer a star formation

well he wasnt listening if so

Well when Les was interviewing Puel for the job he should have made that clear

Lol, Im frustrated by the clubs direction, but to start calling for the club to be sold is a nonsense. Im sure like myself that a couple of quality signings that give the squad and fans a lift would be ideal. The team were not that bad last night but it was a lack of cutting edge, add to that my concens that the squad is thin considering we have to play in Europe and many extra games. I remember Everton a few seasons back looking in a precarious position until they manged a late run to keep them out of real relegation problems

I think it is very sad that we point at players like Matt Targett. He is not getting the back up of who is in front of him and had to try and nullify Valencia who is tricky and very quick. Targett was one of the few players who actually got into crossing positions and tried to get the ball in the box. It is also rich that fans who have been saying to me that we dont need to invest then criticise the young players coming in to the team to learn their trade. Get used to young players being inconsistant and looking lost in our first team, as that is the future, as we get the worst bits of a players development before they are sold at high prices to rival teams.

Well if we still owe money for Osvaldo then the club is not being run as well as people tell us it is
