Will say 1 positive ....our 2 deadline day signings look quality.

I'd keep more of an open mind on Redmond......remember Puel has transformed players for good to amazing before....he obviously sees something as a coach that many fans don't, personally I think he's onto something....but needs coaching more into the role. Redmond is young enough to learn quickly though.

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else feel a bit let down by the transfer dealings of the last 2 summers. Whilst I'm massively thankful for all the Liebers efforts since taking over Southampton, it feels like the momentum built of the last few years has been lost. The vision lost and the passion for development of the club somewhat slowing & decreasing. This summers signings have in my opinion from what I can see not moved us forwards as a club, and with all the sales of the last few transfer windows I wonder now whether as a club we've now on a downward trajectory.

I really don't like the fact we're now so open about what we do. NEVER show your jewels and crowns of the court to your competitors or enemies. We seem to be doing this too much at the moment and I'm concerned we'll lose our edge on other teams as others copy our model.

He's sounding suddenly more interested.....maybe because Southampton may actually qualify for the Champions League!

What on earth is going on with Forren? Why did we even sign him?

Why are we looking at players all already at their peak generally? Most of these players are past their mid-20's......lets develop the existing group with more great players with great potential. Otherwise we go back too easily to buying journeymen like we once did.

Very good point! I'm concerned about 5 aspects: 1. Burnout of players 2. Injuries being now picked up with the new system 3. Players not being suitable 4. Lack of plan B or C 5. Running a high line defensively and playing the offside trap is a dangerous strategy?

Coming. From the man who thought 17th would be good. Troll comes to mind?

Well this should hopefully fit in perfectly with our "world class" radio station and catering.....oh wait....errr..

There's no need for him to mention that his son started from Southampton. At the end of the day, he choose to bring up his son the southampton way, we sold him for good money, it's turning out to be a good move for him, and Southampton are continuing to do well.....

Unfortunately he already blew his privileges to speak to authority on his terms a long time ago with his prior actions, however I doubt he can see that....disappointing he's learning these lessons as a twenty something and wasting his career away than when he was younger and the consequences were lesser. Sounds to me like a lot of us fans will now enjoy watching him rot in the reserves after seeing that "attitude" resurfacing again. Cortese is not an all forgiving man. To have standards, you must have boundaries....in a way....almost having Puncheon still at Saints more than earns his money for the club because it demonstrates the need for players to realise they don't hold all the cards in the modern day game.....I find it quite refreshing....

Have to say I find the original post quite funny. It's amazing how aggressive threatened he feels by Southampton :-) .....I take it as quite the compliment!

I'll happily have him at Saints! He's the extra striker we need and my preferred option in the championship.
