Good riddance.

Yep and the way we’re going to play will mean the ball goes forward… just not munted up the pitch by a defender.

Nope, not said that once. And thank you, I have listened to RM and am aware mistakes are going to be made. It’s a risk v reward style whereby we’ll score more and no doubt concede more, but in RM’s view gives us a better chance of winning a decent number of games. Will it work, who knows. Will it be more entertaining, seems that way and after the last few years I will take some entertainment. The point made originally, which seems to have been lost, is that having CB’s who are comfortable with the ball at the back will lead to less mistakes. Playing Bednarek, Lyanco, Stephens (include McCarthy in that too) will more than likely lead to more mistakes because they aren’t comfortable playing at the back.

Not sure what you’re struggling with tbh, but never mind. I’ll assume you are one of the “get it forward” merchants.

Where a team plays positively and tries to be proactive in winning a game. Appreciate you may not recognise it as we haven’t seen it for a long time.

It’s not about buying “better” players, it’s buying players who better fit the way we want to play. Bednarek and Stephens cannot play on the front foot as defenders and are not comfortable with the ball. If we can get defenders in who can do that, then it will clearly make us a better team all round and help the way RM wants to play. The only time Bednarek and Stephens ever look ok is in a deep back line, where they have lots of help from the rest of the team in soaking up pressure. Why would RM adapt his style to a negative set up to suit two sub standard centre backs? He won’t (and neither should he).

Two Baz howlers? FFS

Well said!

Players can move house but not change clubs… just a thought.

Done, hopefully it helps and good luck with the campaign.

Is it close? All I’ve seen is questionable link from Givemesport?

Yeah, £60k a week gets you fck all these days.

Tend to agree, seems to have a confident aura from the videos. Am sure the positivity will disappear once Goztepe dick us next week.

Hope not, they’re a decent poster on here.

I think the opening line “There seems to be a a lot of Southampton fans on social media platforms” was where I stopped taking the post seriously.

Thank you sir

Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez - think he’s 15, so would be next year?

Course he wouldn’t, would be abject failure.

There is a fine line, but someone offering £30m for Lavia when we want £50m, or £15m for Tino when we want £30m after Chelsea payaway isn’t fine lines - they are rather large differences and unless they make serious offers then I’m all for the club standing ground.

Not sure time on the ball does Che much good. He seems better when he has no time to think about it.

So far so good, they seem to be sticking to their guns. Suspect we’ll end up with a £40m plus add ons situation. Would rather sell to Arsenal!

£30m 😂

Yeah on second viewing, not as mental as first thought. The person I saw post it was making the point their team (Huds) ended up finishing above QPR. Though Forest year before were shite then Cooper got them into playoffs. If you want to go up automatically don’t be shit at all, playoffs may still have a chance.
