Bailey Posted 3 December, 2009 Share Posted 3 December, 2009 Make no mistake about it, there will be another big turnover of players at Saints in January and the summer. Pardew has got targets lined up, and a number of current players have been told that their future lies elsewhere. I've been told that we can expect up to 6 new signings in January, with a number of the players out on loan leaving permanently. One thing is for sure, it's going to be an interesting transfer window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can move clear of the relegation places by January, i think we'll be an attractive project for anyone to get involved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 3 December, 2009 Share Posted 3 December, 2009 I only had a tour round a year or so ago, and the changing rooms weren't too shabby then - will be interesting to see what they've done to them. Shamelessly copied from an excellent tour guide who posts on Saintlist. Love the last sentence! Regulars on this site will remember that I mentioned recently that the home dressing rooms at St Mary's was in the process of being upgraded. That work has now been finished and I can tell you it is amazing. The floors in both the Shower/bath room and dressing room have been relaid and 20 individual seats have been installed in place of the benches. These individual seats are set back into a light wood self contained alcove, hard to explain, looks something like a throne! The seats are fairly wide, with a black leather cushioned seat finished off by a black leather back rest complete with a saints badge in monogramed style imprinted in the back rest. Each seat has a small wooden locker at the top with an individual safe with a pin number dial. As I say it is difficult to explain in writing. I did not have my camera with me when I went in pre match on Saturday but promise to take it next time i have a tour whether it be at the Tranmere game or a normal day time tour. Then I can email it to someone on this List who can put it on a web-sit for all to see. Believe me it has the 'wow' factor especially when seen with all the kit neatly laid out. The match sponsors guest on Tuesday were very impressed and the first reaction from them was a loud 'wow'. I was told by a member of staff that it is based on the new Arsenal stadium dressing room. I have only seen the Manchester United and Portsmouth dressing recently and it puts the Old Trafford dressing room to shame and as for Fratton Park, well I can tell you that I got changed in better dressing rooms back in the 1930/40's as a schoolboy!

yorkie Posted 4 December, 2009 Share Posted 4 December, 2009 He has a quandary - if the team is playing well and winning why change? Adding new players to the squad - means competition for places, but can disrupt the team spirit and ethic. By the end of January we will know whether we have a real chance of pushing for promotion via the play-offs. We should fear no one - we are clearly head and shoulders above many of the teams in this league. However we are currently not showing the swagger and arrogance of a side believeing it is too good for this league. New players with a better pedigree may create that feeling amongst the squad - it is a very difficult balancing act to work to. Yes we could do with some more "good" players - but ex-Championship has beens - no thanks! There must be quite a few decent hungry young Premiership players aching to play and would take a cut in salary? Dream on...has beens or half decent players at our rivals is the best we can hope for...is Beckham free? PS I did hear Guttusso was looking for a move to England...Nicola is he a mate of yours?

derry Posted 4 December, 2009 Share Posted 4 December, 2009 There will probably be a lot of players available who are out of contract on the 1st July for small fees. If we strengthen in January the team has the rest of the season to gel and if we make the CCC further strengthening to hit the ground running in August. I sense that the owner wants to see promotion as soon as possible. Unlikely this season but not impossible. The last two places could be possible as a lot of teams will beat each other.

When asked 'you must be looking forward to next season in the top flight' his response was 'you must be joking, watching us lose week in week out is no fun at all, I'd rather watch us winning in the Championship each week'.
