FFS the transfer window is still open

Enough we are buying new players including a striker 🙄

Our previous DOF working hard.

We have already broken with the past.

He’s just picking up some comments from Martins presser. Zero inside knowledge.

He’s been aware of it all along. Doesn’t mean he isn’t still pissed off about. Full confidence in Jason Wilcox. Probably our best signing. I reckon Mowbray is an asset too especially as “ he won’t see his family, watching at least one match a day and living out of a suitcase “

Sort of like the first Ted Bates statue…..

Dunno we still have Tella, Che, Aribo, Stephens, Charlie, Bazunu, Armstrong etc I still reckon they all , with a drop in leagues and continue to to follow Martins lead all have a big part to play. Don’t judge them on last season.

The Joe Shields link isn’t that stupid. When he left us for Chelsea they turned a blind eye to Wilcox doing some under the counter scouting for us while Wilcox was still under contract with City/

I teed you you up there 😂well played.

Of FFS as far as I’m aware Kane isn’t sorted yet. I’m a world weary pragmatic sort of guy but I’m even getting unstable.

It’s all under control.

No just building a statue with all the money we have

It has been amusing but even I’m am getting frustrated that we havnt signed “ the mysterious four “ ……………… still confident but c’mon. I know Martin and Wilson said be patient but FFS get a fucking move on.🤯

Astounding

OK you always seemed to be one of the few pragmatic posters on here. I just thought it was unnecessary to encourage the illiterate Rasmus haters. Although Lord Dunkhunter song was inspiring.

What the fuck are we talking about Rasmus for ? His job is acquiring and managing the SR rosta. He’s doing an excellent job at that as well.

Absolutely Rasmus also made a perfect scapegoat for the bedwetters.

Yeah Serbia have officially historically been allies of Russia . Dragan has a very neo liberal western stance.

Ankersons job was always was to build and manage the SR rosta. There was Film of him and he crew visiting Vincennes recently soon after SR purchased them. That’s his job. Watch the first Wilcox interview. At Man City for 10 years. He clearly believes in the Southampton project.

I’ve watched every interview a couple of times. It’s like Martins first official for Saints. A lot of fans were saying it was a bland interview. I’ve watched it a few times ( yes I’ve got too much time on my hands at the moment ) and there was a lot in the there. I remember him being asked about his possession football and said something along the lines of he would be prepared to change it in a particular game if necessary. Hes mentioned several times that we have 3 or 4 players lined up he’s spoken to the players and their clubs. They are keen to join us and are prepared to wait. Wilcox interview was excellent. He’s even mentioned although his contract didn’t officially start until the end of last season he’s been looking at players for us since January. im assuming with the approval of City after Joe Shields jumped ship to Chelsea so quickly. You can take my word for it or not up to you. Even Dragan admitted last season was a mess and said he should have keep more of an eye on what was happening. Don’t forget he own quite a few major companies as well as SR. He said he would be keeping a much closer eye on Southampton this year. I don’t think people realise how powerful he is in Eastern Europe. He’s a even a major player in opposition to the Serbian Government. He has a reputation can’t see him accepting failure again.

Spot on.

The only people that know who the 4 players prepped to join us are Jason Wilcox, Darren Mowbray and Russell Martin. As Martin and Wilcox have said the team at the end of the window will be quite different from now. I remember Martin saying in his first interview the fans have to be patient it’s a long season. Clearly he hadn’t been briefed on the fact 50% of our fan base are negative and ignorant. I was talking to a season ticket holder and fanatical Saints fan. He was saying he didn’t know why he bothered to go any more. I mentioned SR his response was “ oh aren’t they the lot that are ripping us off “ I then mentioned Jason Wilcox and Darren Mowbray. He hadn’t heard of them. I gave up in the end.

It’s obvious Martin is using this as a practice game. Clearly he will want to win but if we’d fielded a stronger team he wouldn’t have learnt much
