Southampton Not looking good ?

[Papas1982]

and the pessimist in you ?

At least you have brought the odd player in. We haven't made one signing and no chance of doing so until we get a new owner. Le Fondre sold, and quite a few decent players released. Could be heading for the ten point deduction.

I don't wanna talk about the pessimist. Then I become the suicidal!

i never got The treatment Le fondre received. Always seemed to score but never played enough. I remember absolutely battering you for 88 minutes at st Mary's and yet in two minutes he won you the championship.

Scored more when he came on as sub. Fox in the box, but didn't do much else to be honest.

I remember you scoring a lucky deflected goal from Lambert, but not the absolute battering for 88 minutes.

appears I got coals confused. Your 3rd was comical defending. Maybe nit a battering but I belive commentary can be heard 1 minute in saying it was very much against run of play. Amd from the. On it appeared to show more saints than reading. Either way I was happy bith got promoted ahead of west ham as thought we'd played the better footy.

Well we all have our opinions lol, don't I remember watching it and thinking the title was sewn up. Only for him to tear us a new one. First one was comical route one I believe. Second a well worked counter attack. Both well finished mind.

Second one was route one, and a bad mistake from Fonte. Jason Roberts gave him a torrid time.

Two more signings done and dusted today, Shane Long and Florian Gardos. After a shaky start to the window things are finally coming together nicely.

Shane Long went to Hull for £8 million, and to Southampton a few months later for £12 million. You don't get any bargains when clubs know you have money to spend.

Im kinds torn on this one. I think we've obv overpaid. Like you say, we made lots and it's being shared about.

That at said, I remember seeing him tear us apart alongside Lukaku at WBA. Think he fits our style well as he works hard and will fit alongside Pelle. But if he doesn't score at least 10 league goals it's overpriced.

He has got pace, runs all day, good in the air. Not a great first touch and not a natural goal scorer. 10 goals a season is his limit.

We will have him back when you get relegated and we go up.

Seen a lot of £10 bets going round. I'll happily take it we won't get relegated. Or double on you going up lol

12m is a bit overpriced but like you say, clubs know we are rolling in it and adjust their asking price accordingly
I'm actually quite excited by Long, he is a massive pain in the arse in the box, and while he may not be the biggest goalscorer, he will give defences enough headaches to open up the play a bit for the others. If him and Pelle gel we could have a pretty potent strikeforce!

Would like to have seen Ramirez given a shot too. They linked well in friendlies I saw.
