Interesting. Could understand how some of the players would wish for a bit more advanced manager.

Gazzeta dello sport claims we have inquired about Ricky Alvarez, according to a number of guys on twitter. (Among them James Horncastle).

Don't think we should sign a goalie, Boruc looks to cut the mustard. Agree we should try to get a defensive midfielder, and maybe a versatile winger/attacking midfielder.

Heard he got banned from a restaurant because he ate to much.

Forren is probably not match fit either, played his last match 6th december. Strange he isn't on the bench though.

Forren not in the squad according to this: http://fotball.rbnett.no/england/article264635.ece

Any ideas on who Pochettino will bring along? Although his english probably is better than most believe, it would surely be smart to have a british assistant?

As many has pointed out, if Cortese had attended the press conference, the whole thing would be about the sacking of Adkins, and quite unfair to the Pochettino. No on liked the decision to fire Adkins, but you really can't argue with the results Cortese has brought to the club. Many people says they would rather be in league one/championship with another owner, but I struggle to believe that. When it comes to all the rumors presented, especially from you Turkish, some of it might be right, and some of it might be wrong. It's impossible to say.

So according to Crook Astori is a no go, but according to this http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southampton-sack-nigel-adkins-the-writing-1544510 he is likely to sign... Just shows that you have to take everything from the media with a pinch of salt.

Absolutley.

Thats it for me. If Adkins get the sack, football has gone to far. Always been pro Cortese, but if this happens it will bring back the despise i once felt for Rupert Lowe.

Would be a disaster and ruin the season for me. Would also make our club seem ridiculous and Cortese clueless.

Speaking off... Take a look at how Lambert's making space for himself before scoring against chelsea :-)

Or perhaps we had been down 5-0 at half time.

Exellent gameplan from Adkins. He left Lambert and Ramirez out for a purpose (closing chelsea off and going for counter attacks). Adkins have balls and knows what he's doing. Excellent.

Thing you will never read at a football forum: "from that youtube compilation, he doesn't seem to be that good". The echo says we're offering £4 mill. Thats not value for money in my opinion.

Also a norse. Agree with everything apart from that he's quick. If he goes to PL i think the tempo would be a major problem for him. Also, his defending is not up to premier league standards. But very good in the attacking parts of the game.

As hard as it is to admit, I think we should try to learn from QPR last two games. Close off the opposition, and hope for a lucky goal.

Brilliant performance!

You're not watching the same game as me. Think Lambert has been brilliant as a link up player today.

Think he has a lot of potential, but he needs to be a bit more ruthless on the pitch in my opinion.

And I'm sure this isn't the most illogical statement posted on saintsweb even in the last 15 minutes.

Hate to ruin a party, but discussed Astori with a couple of guys who knows italian football, and neither of them think he is worth € 10 mill. Says he is hyped, and makes to many errors. If we can get him for € 6-7 mill, it would be a good deal in their opinion.

Did you see the game, you arse? Somtimes football is a very random game. Liverpool could have won it easily today, and we could have snatched a draw when we played them.

No it's not. This is either a wind up (boring) or a very simplified (idiotic) observation.
