Golac's Cunning Stunts

I don't remember that particular pic. How about this one of Lawrie with the team. Who was an ex-guardsman and who wasn't 🙂

Will take a slight issue with your mention of Charlie George in the same sentence as Delgado. Yes, Charlie didn’t play too much for us, but when he did oh boy what a player. But that may be clouded by my schoolboy memories of being in love with football and with the saints teams of those times!

Sorry, but that sounds like a complete fairy tale.

I’m starting to wonder if che was left out on Saturday because he finally found out he isn’t going to be leaving and needed some time to come to terms with it. Surely there would be more noise if a club is close to signing him?

Apart from a few obvious ones, it gives me great pleasure looking at the “Out” list this summer. 3 or 4 more out please. Give them away if you have to😜

Did he? I missed that. Thought he was nailed on as a CB

We already had a mediocre premier league 11! In fact finishing bottom shows it wasn’t even mediocre!

I think it will be hard persuading Spence to drop down to the champs. Surprised a prem side isn’t on for him to be honest

Could be a Mowbray connection there?

Yes, stupidly optimistic

be very surprised if he plays a full 90

I know..we should make an offer to Leeds for Piroe

Substantial rebuild and 7 days to do it. Got to laugh.

They are actually sheep in sheep's clothing

now that would be worth watching to be fair

Celtic target Lyanco 🙂 https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/celtic-target-southampton-defender-lyanco-27599262

Yeah agree. They were all happy enough last season serving up shit football and shit results. Need a rocket up their arse 🙂

Usually in life, the truth lies in between the two extremes. In this case, between cultist fantasists like you and the pessimistic doom mongers. Things are ok but not great. Could be better and could be worse.

Aribo is disappointing. Did well and was well liked at Rangers. Played in a Euro final. You’d think he’d be more than good enough for the champs.

Yeah not quite the same as he has handed in his access pass as you said earlier. If a deal is definitely struck there is no way he plays tomorrow. So I call BS

Sorry but if he is subject to an imminent multi million pound deal there’s no way either side would allow him to play tomorrow. If he gets a season long injury for example, that would scupper the deal. So if he has “left the building” there’s no way he’s playing tomorrow. So that is BS

You say better at “a bit of admin” but I would assume it is that they were more prepared to offer a better financial package

For some of those I assume you’re using the phrase “can play there” in the loosest possible sense.

I do get we have to cut our cloth and all that. But I think with Tella and Che we go up. So selling them is massive (perhaps unnecessary?) risk and for the money we get for them it’s peanuts compared to a return to the prem. Hoping for good replacements if they go but who is going to sell good players this late on in the window (apart from us it seems)

Take all this with a pinch of salt, but Wales Online report that Saints were in for Piroe and Leeds did a better job. Also state that Piroe preferred a move to Saints Wales Online state that Piroe was actually quite keen on a move to Southampton after talks with the Saints, excited to reunite with Russell Martin. But, Leeds did not give up and worked hard to get him. “The level of effort Leeds made to sign him proved to be a key factor in persuading him to move to west Yorkshire, working round the clock with Piroe’s camp this week to thrash out nitty, gritty bits of the deal.”
