Hold on, what's happened here? I thought we were not signing anyone? Another one kept quiet, we are very good at keeping transfers under wraps until they are nearly done. Don' t recall seeing any links until the direct quotes from the agent. Assuming he's a Wanyama replacement of sorts. Still think we need another 2-3 to come in, especially with Pelle leaving.

It appears my poor attempt at sarcasm did not work. Lol. Plenty of time in the transfer window, I guess with Puel coming in some of our intended signings may have changed. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

50/1 Fonte first goal. What a moment that could be for him. Didn't we nearly sell him to Cardiff a couple of seasons back? A leader, and a legend Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

We're going to sell at least another three. We've not signed a player for two weeks now. Quite clearly, Les Reed is clueless and is going to gamble on Reed and Gallagher this season. There may be several weeks of the transfer window left, but it will only be for selling Tadic, Pelle and Bertrand. If we were going to sign anyone, we would have done it by now. I envy Middlesbrough, they're making signings and showing intent in the transfer market, whilst we're being bullied by Liverpool into selling Mane for a measly £35 million. #meltdown Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

We're about to sell off our third player, and now everyone just assumes we aren't going to buy anyone. I'm sure we are making a lot of enquries for players. Did we not do similar the last two seasons, selling first, then going and buying replacements? Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Too many England players get picked through the top 6, and take it for granted. For many of them it's probably an inconvienience. The Wales players are all proud to represent their nation, but with that they have the belief and spirit to win through. Can't ever see it happening with England Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

CONFIRMED - Mane joins Liverpool for £34m + £2m addons
Saint_Tony replied to toe_punt's topic in The Saints
****ed off he's going to Liverpool of all teams but you can't argue with the price. We've signed Redmond, and I'm sure we will have other targets ready. Do we think this will be it for the clearout, or are we expecting Pelle and Tadic to go? Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk -
Nathan Redmond Joins on 5 Year Deal - Official
Saint_Tony replied to Saint Garrett's topic in The Saints
It's a good signing, no doubt. Exactly the kind of player we can get the best out of and develop. Should get £30 million in two years when we sell him. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk -
Can't see us drawing Portugal. They will probably top the group if they win, or come 3rd if they don't. I think it will almost certainly be Hungary. They'll have their tactics sorted though, frustrate us and play for penalties. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

He's good in the big games, but goes missing way too much, and that's not including the suspensions. He will be missed, but I'm sure we will have been planning a while for this. Great opportunity now for Romeu, who I'm a big fan of. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Does anyone think Koeman leaving will have any effect on whether he leaves? Was just thinking he won't go to Liverpool as they aren't even in Europe, they're not even as big a club as Everton! Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk -
Have there not been more stories previously about players having issues with Koeman? To be honest it looks to me like a few will be leaving regardless. After all, we are nothing but a 'showcase' club who are a fantastic stepping stone for any good player or manager. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Looks like a done deal. Just hope we tie up a deal for a new manager sharpish, and any others who don't want to be here **** off. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

I wonder if it will have an impact on who leaves now? I remember a few stories of players being unhappy with some of Koeman's methods. I've lost all respect for Koeman now. Hope he fails at Everton. When MP left, he had never indicated he wanted to stay and I know for fact he met up with Levy several weeks before. This is very disappointing from Ronald, but we will move on and go again, we always have. I am aware of the clubs strategy, but Les really needs to keep quiet with Champions League talk and how well contract negotiations have been going. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

If he goes to Everton then what a ****, worse than MP, who I wasn't too bothered about going. Massive job to rebuild a pretty poor squad, especially Everton's defence. My main concern is some of our players jumping ship to join him. The money's ridiculous, but who are they actually going to sign for big bucks? **** him, can't wait to see them fail. In Les we trust. We will have someone decent lined up and we'll go again. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Bottom line for me is he just isn't that good. Sure, he has good delivery from set pieces, but offers very little else. MLG can bang on about his age and stats of how many games he started, I'm more interested in whether or not we have a quality player on our hands. The answer is know. He's done well for the u21s for England, but there's a reason he never gets linked with a move away. I think he may stay with us another season or 2, before finally dropping down to the Championship, which is about his level. Seems like a good kid, but we can't keep waiting for him to come good.

Not a fan of Spurs, but for me Dier, Alli and Kane all have to start. There's potential for a decent first 11 in the squad. I just fear we will end up playing someone decent in the quarters and reverting back to using the likes of Henderson and Milner to try and play for penalties. And then lose.

Same ****, different summer. How much are we likely to get for all of them, £70 - £80 million? Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Genuinely believe Van Dijk will be the standout CB in the league next season. Only problem with that is the media and pundits might start to realise it. With the stupid figures quoted for the likes of Stones, we should be able to get £40 million for him next summer. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Ron obviously wants a proper go at the Champions League, and understandably so. I also believe he'd like the chance to do it with us, but it's difficult with the way we operate. I know we are improving every year, and what we have achieved is phenomenal. But every summer its a case of 2 steps back, 1 step forward with selling players. This season feels like a missed opportunity, its sounds stupid to say but we could have quite easily finished 2nd or 3rd. If Ron is given the funds and can keep players, 4th place is a possibility. I feel only under these circumstances he might consider extending his stay Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

He's been overshadowed by Rose because of Spurs nearly winning the league (or not lol). Bertrand doesn't really have bad games, and is a far more reliable option, but sadly I doubt many non-Saints fans would see it like that Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Post-Match Reaction: SAINTS 4-1 Crystal Palace
Saint_Tony replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Incredible, we've gone under the radar this season with Leicester's success and West Ham's (even though we finished above them). What a finish though, its just a bit frustrating because of our poor run of form before the turn of the year. Next season has to be about the Europa. The league will be much tougher. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk -
Pretty confident we will win today, although I expect the other teams around us too. Just to clarify for the 1000th time, if the positions stay the same, we will need a Utd cup win to make enter Europa qualifiers? Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Europe gone now. That poor run last year left us with to much to do. We've done incredibly well to finish so strongly though Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
