Dig Dig

Are we really after any wide player in reality?

It's the Southampton way mate. A 12M return on a 1M investment is great business by anyones standards. He's not that good anyway (always been 2nd behind Jos, Lovren and VVD) I'd drive him up there myself for 12M. Plus, the black box will find someone better. #wemarchon

And with a tad more quality in the side, would have easily been top 4. The argument works both ways. Are you happy with the squad relative to last season?

Pay rises for some existing players and Jeremy Pied.

If we end up losing Fonte and not adequately imprving the squad in others areas, it will have been an appalling summer. No way the clappers could dress that up.

The point is that if Fonte has signed a 3 year extension as per CL's claim, there really isn't any reason to sit on that whilst Fonte is out talking to press about leaving. It doesn't add up.

Well that's where it gets confusing as Fonte's quotes in the media look miles apart from someone who has committed their future here once more, added to the fact that there is no announcement from the club at a time where they know there is ongoing speculation.

I think Davis tweet is more in relation to the Rangers/Celtic stuff.

So Fonte has signed a new 3 year deal?

I'm sure getting us from League 1 to the prem in 3 seasons has been the biggest factor in increasing our commercial competitiveness in the grand scheme of things.

Les is very happy with the squad. Two quality options in every position with the best midfield options in the league. We're all set for a brilliant season.

This signing definitely has the wow factor worthy of completing our summer business. Hats off Les.

Probably comparable to KD in the Prem for us.

Good old irrelevant Pompey comparison. Maybe we should spend absolutely nothing just to be sure?

Doubt it, pre-season is in what, week 2? Anyone who thinks we don't need to replace Pelle needs a slap and that includes Les.

Imagine if he joined Koeman at Everton. I doubt anyone would say it was a good appointment.

No chance. Don't be so negative. Reed has budgeted for 11th.

Yep

Redmond better not be his replacement, no excuses for that.

FFS. Why are we selling so early in the window as well. Man Utd and Bayern both interested, why can we not hold out for as long as possible?

People are sick and tired of so called experts. What do they know?

Right after the immigrants are thrown out. One step at a time mate.

we're on day one. The most hilarious part of this whole debacle is the leave mongs rejoicing in the lack of change and impact on day one of the vote, before any of the changes they voted for are actually implemented. You couldn't make it up.

Could be but you also need to consider that reports also suggested that Garcia wasn't impressed with the budget on offer.
