Don't understand the love for Berahino on here. The lad is a certified diva. The black box assesses more than just ability in the 6yd box. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Really?

Tread carefully fellas, don't get toe carried away

Hahaha - bravo!

That's a completely different matter. I'm not claiming he can fill Mane's boots - I have doubts whether he will. I'm just picking up on the fact that you're saying Redmond couldn't get in the Norwich team - which is clearly nonsense.

Heavy Caressing Definitely Arouses Jemima's Fit Underboobies

You could choose to state that like it's a fact, or you could read Donatello's post above which proves it's utter claptrap...

No, Saints will be the first! Exciting to support pioneers isn't it!

I have no idea whether Redmond is equipped to replace Mane or not. But I'm certain that your notion that Redmond was not good enough to get in the Norwich first eleven is not as black and white as you make out. Norwich were shipping goals left right and centre and I believe that Alex Neil was opting for more robust, defensive starting lineups. Redmond was utilised as a sub to inject some impetous later in games once they had attempted to set a foundation.

I answered this above

But isn't what you mean by “see more ambition” really “see spending more money”?! For me, Saints show plenty of ambition, it’s just our ambition doesn’t involve chucking huge sums of money around. Our ambition is to build long-term self-sustainability by investing in the academy and developing younger players, whilst continuing to be successful. I’d argue that is a far more ambitious project than simply going out and spanking £35 million quid on a couple of Bentekes or suchlike each summer. I think you either buy into the Saints project, or as S-Clarke has suggested, go and support a club who’s ambition is to reach for the stars financially.

I reckon Berahinho's 'petulant child' antics last season won't have endeared him to the black box much

OK the first season of improvement was in a lower division and I agree you could argue that we finished lower (7th in L1) than the season before (23rd in the Champ) so technically we didn't improve our position. But we went from a horrible "gettingspankedwithPoortvliet&Wotteincharge" type 23rd to a exciting 7th, loadsa goals and a cup win. So I'm giving the old board 5 seasons and calling it 7 :-)

Ah, ok, thanks

Why?

How would you get rid of him? He's halfway through a 4 year contract. Would you sack him for being injured?

You must be ITK! Which teams are scouting him that you know of? Who's he going to sign for?

Agreed. As he's under contract another club would have to come in for him anyway. These claptrap articles are always written as though players can just be given away at any point in time.

I think if you are dead-set on seeing hundreds of millions of pounds being thrown around it is probably you that needs to go and find another club!

VvD looks massive!

How do you explain Yoshida playing in 20 league games last season for a team that finished 6th in the Premier League?

This doesn't make any sense to me at all. I'm sure I read on Saintsweb that all our best players are desperate to leave and as for that Les Reed, he is completely incompetent...

1. Happy 2. Yes 3. Possibly, but it's unrealistic to think you could employ someone of equal quality to VvD or Fonte who would be content to be the back up plan.

Wow, that is some reaction! Maybe you ought to go and have a lie down?
