SW5 SAINT

Good to see that the Boards statement was signed PCFC!

Exeter and Torquay too maybe..........

I think they are now to insignificant to be paired with us anymore.......

But we are talking about England, not whoever Fabinho and Bakayoko play for. Not many better Englishman than JWP in his position for England.....

I thought those figures at the time were Shaw 27m (+add ons) Lallana 25m (- 6m to Bournemouth) Lovren 20m, Chambers 11m (plus 5m add ons) Lambert 4m, Cork 3m. So about £89m. So if they only paid out about £4m in agents fees, that would be a result.........

Should not that also apply to incoming players, those sums would also be in instalments going forward.

If they get the England call, I wonder who will tap them up?

I wonder why are Everton wouldn't go for Hart before Forster?

Apart from the MK Dons, most clubs who expand their stadiums or move to a much larger new ground seem to attract the fans to fill them. I can think of Southampton, Brighton, West Ham, Manchester City, Swansea and Hull just of the top my head.

How can you say this. Seeing poopey in League 2 is not boring, the only thing better would be seeing them in the National League.....

Doesn't sound like he's having a very good afternoon at Bournemouth...........

Well I suppose they the only football club with the word community in their name. I wish the media would start using their correct name. After all every time Chester's name appear on a video printer or in the results listing, FC is always included in their name.

I seem to remember we signed Evans from Oxford, and they threw in Mark Wright into the deal as well.

I can't help wondering if VVD's injury is career threatening?

You make some very good points. But to to be honest in a professional game it was never representative of being Hampshires finest against Lancashires best. The best footballers are always going to be drawn to the richest football clubs in the world, wherever they are. Fans have always been another matter entirely, although sadly it would now seem even those who are wealthiest are drawn to the richest and most famous clubs.

I think as its Southampton, it should be a Ocean Liner leaving Southampton docks.......

We should be looking to extend his contract now, just ward of the predators.........

I think its somehow worse because it was such a good goal, with Cedric being quicker and disposessing there man beating the next followed by an excellent cross etc etc

Look at the positives, we appear to have unearthed an absolute gem in Gabbiadini. Lets just hope the management grow a pair when Liverpool and ManU come calling in the summer!

I wonder what things would be like if he was still in charge?

Just got on a tube at Piccadilly and got talking to a load of Southampton fans, a Cup final or something is on tomorrow. Should have asked them if they were on here! Why can SSN only talk about Manure?

Not quite sure why it is such big news. It is after all the second season running that the manager of the reigning champions was sacked.

Nice profit for the Liebherrs there........

I hadn't realised we paid £25M for him?

I can't imagine that a half fit out of contract CB of whatever previous quality would be able to demand 100k per week. Nobody else has exactly been battering on his door to sign him.
