I very mch doubt a young player would have thought about that, but his agent should have. It doesnt get over the fact that if a good affer comes in he wont go.

yes that is correct, when he signed it I doubt he knew he'd be playing the 2nd tier, and much like all the others we have sold over the years most if not all had length left on their contracts.

Well acting in our best interests for a business is to get a good price and then invest and buy another. That seems our business model. At the same time it would be lovely for us fans to see him in a Saints shirt, but why shouldnt he be allowed to florish in the PL where he deserves to be

Im sure keeping Fernandes would be wonderful but if a PL club comes in with a good offer he's gone. It would be selfish of us to expect him to sacrifice a year of his career staying in the Championship

Whilst the penalties against Sweden were pathetic(except for the 3 that we scored) you have to admire the grit of Lucy Bronze, with her John Terry like putting her head where it hurts, and the decent crosses Chloe Kelly put in. As for Lauren James OMG so overrated

After watching s for over 50 years I still find it amazing that players who are loyal and do try and give it all are pilloried whilst the mercenaries are given a free rn. Stephens may not be the best bt he is our level of footballer. Give him a break, he will give his all and show pride wearing the shirt.

I dont give a fetlocks about this thread anymore

Perhaps it was RM who decided he wanted to do something else, afterall having a shot meant that there was a chance we'd lose possession lol

Went to the club shop saturday and got one for my grand daughter. There was a constant flow of people buying it. My son in law who is an Arenal fan thought its a good kit, better than a lot out there.

crikey you have returned at long last, I thought you were out grazing with Shergar

or if you know nothing pretend you do to get attention

I still feel the same about those 2. Sadly they had the last laugh. To be fair to Bailey when he came to the Dell that season where he had got Osgood and another sent off, and the crowd were as aggressive as you see his Blackburn teammates withered but he stood up I think we won 5-0 that day

I think unless you have had the honour to see them play Its hard to put them on the list, I am lucky to have seen Big Ron and Mick Channons early years (Terry Paine late in his day) although Im sure Id like to swap the years to be younger!!!!

Not many have put Rodney Wallace in theor selection. It is a surprise as I feel the Rod Wallace and Mlt combination was as exciting a partnership I have seen (Ekelund was marvellous as well) Ron Davies must be top for me and I suggest for most who started going in the late 60's like myself. Top scorer in the top league 2 seasons as far as I recall. 4 goals at Old Trafford against a team with Charlton Law and Best. Bowyer as well again top goalscorer in the top division. Channon, MLT, Moran, Armstrong, Niemi, Shilton, Michael Svenson all make it.

Doucore is what we need, but perhaps when he was a few years younger. Id still like him here but I suggest his wages are massive. Everton do pay big wages

I feel he was treated appallingly by us. Ok he came from Pompey and we didnt like it as he was a cheap price,we still had thoughts of grandeur after being in the PL/Division one for decades.

Listening to female players asking for parity in wages is madness. Dont they understand that 10's of millions watch the mens game and what that generates compared to the womens game. Some female players use their sexiness to promote themselves on the pitch, which is a nonsense if they want to be serious in the game. The Swiss girl being the most prominent for that.

East of Southampton, East European, Chinese, Korean or that American from the Eastern seaboard?

what when you see an update on one of the feeds online ? Sadly this is just a parody thread but can be mildly amusing, and so I look.

I doubt Birmingham need to sell Stansfield

Bearsy was class and made people laugh, that is the major difference

Yes both brothers were very good players,I played against both. Martin used to partner Nigel Green and were a good pair.

Hed still be our 4th top scorer last season lol

well he gave VVD and Konata a torrid time at SMS

Was Reg , Chris Wilkinsons and Martins father. I played against their mum on a few occasions when she played for Plesseys (?) at Eastleigh
