You're the first person I've heard say our CBs were fine last year. When Lovren was out injured we were in difficulties and now we have lost him. Fonte could be cover but we need two top-class CBs. solid as a rock, plus the new GK and a pacey striker. Then we can relax a bit.
I went to 2 days of the test match - excellent facilities and thoroughly enjoyed both days. The size of the crowd was disappointing though. The lift breaking down in the press centre has not helped our cause - Boycott made a big fuss about having to walk up several flights of stairs!
yes I fully agree. When we played Man City at home my recollection is that we started with 7 English players and finished with 8 while they started with one English player and finished with none. Now it seems we are going in that direction - recruiting mercenaries from anywhere but England. It's a great shame.
He's English which puts a premium on him. But in a few years Chambers may well be worth £50 million or more - look at Bale. Wenger has been quite good in spotting our up-and-coming stars in the past - and he's just done it again.
Perhaps it is time to stop selling players and replace them with better ones - I will be convinced when that happens and when we see the results on the playing field.
Yes Saints are currently the laughing stock - in the press, amongst other supporters and, more importantly, amongst the good people of Southampton if the comments I have heard are anything to go by. What a mess.
