What the hell is a 'Beast Rating'? Sounds impressive!

Overpriced but we desperately need someone so I won't complain.

To speak to them face to face makes it harder for them to BS.

Although it's hard to argue that West Ham are a bigger club than us, they have their own problems right now and their league standing is similar to ours. Fair enough if he left simply because he wanted a different environment and a new challenege but do it in the summer for christs sake Jose! Our lack of activity in the transfer window leaves me worried that we'll somehow end up concluding January with an even worse team than we did coming into it astonishingly. This can only be considered good business if that money comes back to the club to improve the team. It has left a bit of a bitter taste for me. Having said all that, his service for the club can't be forgotton. I won't be booing him on his return to St Mary's. I'll applaud at the end of the game but only if we win!

I am sad.

I like the way they decided to post all his photos One of the top two would have been sufficient.

Agreed.

We're totally incapable of scoring. I've never seen a season like it!

Redmond is rediculously one footed. I expect every professional being paid 10's of thousands of pounds a week to at least be able to shoot with their left foot.

Without a doubt.

Wimpson Road YO!

Agree with Jai27. The club only turn on the players that rile things up by stirring in the media and on social media.

Been pretty poor this season from what I've seen of him. I can't help but laugh.

Therefore no.

He'll make it. We've all got to believe.

I still believe he can pull through.

Guly Do Prado and Tadanari Lee will always be my favourites

Why? It would be an odd thing for him to make up in his first interview. Anyway, I'm certain Puel actively wanted Eric Black.

Nice idea and will help boost our status to up and coming talents. Perhaps some of them will set their sights on Southampton when they turn professional.

Just found it.

Puel has known Black on a personal level for many years so I'm sure he would have had more input than that. In fact, I remember an interview from one of Puel or Black saying they had a conversation back when they were both working in France that if Puel ever came to manage in England, he would love to work with Black. Here it is. Roughly 30 seconds in: "I'd played against Claude quite a few times when I was playing in France, and we had a mutual friend, so we had met up a couple of times in France, and he's always sort of discussed if the opportunity arose would I come and assist him if he ever came to England? “About six or seven weeks ago, the call came to say 'Would I be interested?' and at that point I came down to meet Les [Reed] and that was a kind of semi-interview, discussion-type scenario, and they offered Claude and then me the job.”

I'd give him at least this season. If we get some quality firepower in this January then I think our system will work fine. At the moment we're too toothless to win these important games. Having said that, failure to improve this January will be down to our board and not the manager.

Can we all pause for a moment and observe a minutes silence for Mane's hairline.

No amount of media hype is going to make me hate a club I just can't hate. I'm sorry.

Last remaining player from our league 1 days. Would be a shame to see him go but the day when he's no longer fit for the first team is quickly approaching.
