I just don't get the Liverpool thing; there's a few other teams who have actually won stuff in recent seasons, why not dream of playing for them??? Let's face it, he's gone. With only a few weeks to go Les needs to start investing in some quality in anticipation of selling VVD on deadline day for £70 million to Man City. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

yeah the odds on transfers and next managers are very sensitive. The simple reason is the bookies don't have a clue so they are on high alert as soon as someone parts with as much as even a tenner. If someone wanted to bet an 11/4 shot to win a football match they would take it all day long. If i was to go and put 100 pounds now on VVD to stay theyd be running scared and shorten it to evens. So yes, ignore these markets as they are largely meaningless. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

don't we already have Boufal, Tadic and Redmond? it seems the wide am who creates is always everyone's most anticipated signing. I think we are ok in the striker department; the main worry is Gabba and Austin getting injured. We still need a decent cm. Ward Prowse and Davis not good enough if we want to challene for 7th. Have a feeling it may be a quieter window for us but the key is keeping VVD Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Other Premier League Transfers - Deadline Day

can't believe Les didn't hold out for £50 million for Juanmi Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk -

Typical Les Reed. Already making a net profit in the transfer window and we haven't even sold any of our best players yet. In all seriousness, an incredible fee for a player who has sadly lost it. And our fans moan that we lack ambiton. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Jan Bednarek signed from Lech Poznań on 5 Year Deal
Saint_Tony replied to Wimborne_saint's topic in The Saints
makes me a bit more confident VVD will stay. Can't see us signing another cb now with Stephens' new contract. Welcome Jan! Now to shift J Rod and getva striker replacement in Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk -
so do we think theres anything in the Vieira rumour? can see very little about it other than a suggestion on here - could just be the bookies running scared Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Cheers Claude. Just not right for us, and too much of a risk to go again with him for next season. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Tuchel is top target, nor if we manage to get him. Let's hope this doesn't drag on too long Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

bizarre - was really not expecting that. Probably safe to say he's not going to Liverpool Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Man City, fine, but Liverpool??? Just **** off now Les Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

They were going for £15 on sports direct the other day; no longer on there so probably sold out. Better to wait for next years Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I've lost count of the amount of times he has said 'interesting' this season before games. Our season has been anything but Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The whole makeup of the league has been different this season; essentially back to normal on terms of the 'top 6' actually making up the top six. Then you have Everton and then the best of the rest. Under Roko and MoPo we were able to mix it with the top sides and beat all of them along the way. In addition, it was clear we were better than the likes of WBA, Stoke etc. This season there is little between 8th and 17th so our position is a little flattering. However, Ralph's comments suggest to me Puel may be on his way. It's not been disastrous, and not been all his fault, but ultimately underwhelming and largely forgettable. #cheerstoanothernilnilClaude Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

improved this season, but still not good enough for us and never will be Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Saints 0 Man Utd 0 - Buildup, Match and over-reactions Thread
Saint_Tony replied to Heisenberg's topic in The Saints
Always a worry when we are awarded a pen now. Used to be safe in the knowledge we had been awarded a goal when Lambert was on the pitch. A real letdown of a season. Get rid of Puel next week and let's try something different Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk -
I'm still waiting for someone to come in with a ridiculous £25 bid for JWP. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Season 2016-2017 My 57th Season following the Saints one of the Best
Saint_Tony replied to John B's topic in The Saints
We've gone backwards this season for sure. Not all Puel's fault, but I don't think he's the man for us. The EFL cup run was great but many teams have made it through to the final before. That aside, there just haven't been many highlights. The Europa League was a major disappointment and Puel's rotation has been massively frustrating. Quite simply, there has been a lack of entertainment and very few memorable games. I am struggling to think of any great wins; Inter Milan at home was good but that aside? Under Koeman and Poch we played some great stuff and beat all the top sides along the way. I am aware we may still finish 8th, but I feel that distorts the real picture; the way the league has been this year has been top 6, Everton and then very little between 8th to 17th.

tbh if Gabbiadini and Austin are fit then Long is fine as a back up option. J-Rod has sadly had it, could see him going back to Burnley or somewhere. Not sure if we will get much for him. Incredible even just a few months back on here some were suggesting he was worth £15-£20 million. No chance Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Liverpool 0-0 Saints - Match & Reactions Thread
Saint_Tony replied to Heisenberg's topic in The Saints
usually get nervous watching our games but have really lost interest this season. Liverpool only need to step it up a gear and should win this comfortably. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk -
strong side that, but Chelsea's line up is worryingly strong. Boufal really needs to put a performance in tonight.... Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

sort of expected that today. I swear Kompany always manages to turn out when they play us. I just hope Les and co are sorting stuff now for the summer. I'm not the biggest fan of Puel but he's had far more limited resources than Koeman and MP so hasn't done too bad a job. If we only lose VVD then we have a chance to build a decent squad for next season. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

tough one to call. Incredible how we are still managing to get some decebt results with the players we have available. Very worried with no Romeu though. A point would be a decent enough result. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Worried about this one; we will struggle to score and if Palace play anything like they did at the weekend then I can see them winning. A few tough fixtures coming up for us, need Gabbi and Austin back asap to get us over the line. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
