Toussaint

Hey, leave me out of this!

Or you could say an arbitrary statement like that gave him an easy get out? We were always a stepping stone, I expected to lose him, just not to an inferior club.

I think we have achieved beyond our wildest dreams, I don't think there is a "next level" for Saints. If by next level you mean Arsenal, Chelsea , man City etc? We could do a Leicester perhaps, but they are not at the next level, it was a one off I believe.

100%, there are so many similarities, both classy, articulate, intelligent, have had huge football pedigrees.

General consensus amongst my group yesterday was he influenced the outcome of the game with his poor decisions and lack of authority over the Chelsea prima-donnas.

Lack of game time, therefore leading to lack of form and fitness. I think he just tried too hard to impress yesterday and it went horribly wrong.

Where are you watching it!

Stuff them both, any soft spot I had for Bournemouth evaporated when became aware they hated us. And, from a Pompey mad colleague, they have colluded to join forces in song expressing their loathing of us.

I believe Wanyama and Mane have been having major attitude issues this season. Professional organisations do not air their dirty laundry.

My view is cash in, they clearly don't want to be here, what's the point. Look at Victors shocking effort since he spat the dummy, one good showing against arsenal and we know why that was. Booing is going to reinforce their desire to leave, cheering is going to appear to back them against RK, I 100% back RK and the club against these mercenary low-life's .

Protest, what a cracking idea. That's sure to turn provincial Southampton fc into a European superpower.

100% agree, Wanyama is going through the motions.

Yesh, I am liking dem also

To be fair, Toby wasn't ever ours, Morgan stayed for another year and has kept his side of the bargain, Clyne was always going (and was very average for the second half of the season) , and has been replaced with an international, we have Gardos coming through, and I'm sure we will find another CB if needed.

Except Chas and Dave!

Not Ronaldo FFs , cheap option again, no ambition and another foreigner!

Ruddocks penalty against Newcastle, for a dodgy trip on Rod Wallace, against Newcastle , sparked "the great escape". In some year I can't remember, prob around 98.

Poor lad, you lot are already pylon on the pressure, nevertheless his life could be transformed, if he's insulated well be the academy.

I don't know, they could get a great ventriloquist act going!

At the moment Yoshida is performing better than Fonte, Clyne has been woeful for the last few weeks, but I don't think we have an alternative

Matthew Oakley for me. V pretty and tidy with little end product

Thanks for the enlightenment Mother Thereasa!

A good article, thanks for sharing

I wanted to express a contrary opinion, but you used the word fact, which means you win!

I was there, thought he was absolute class. Apart from a couple of obvious fixes there was a lot to like about the new look Saints. Bayer were a very good outfit
