Baird of the land

Well i've seen nothing promising in his first team outings thus far. If we are now resigned to polishing other people's academies very rough diamonds that's a very low point.

Yes because he thought getting rid of Lambert was in Saints interest, not that Lambert asked him sweetly if he could go to West Ham and the board bent over backwards to accomodate. We can plot a fair idea of what Cortese would have done and it wouldn't be the wounded gazelle crying out to the lions to come quick.

Didn't he see what happened to Rodwell and he was far more far high profile than JWP.

No it wouldn't have happened to anyone else. Those who think this is some perfect storm no club could have avoided are deluded imo. If Cortese was still here he wouldn't be rolling over and selling the entire squad. Utterly pathetic weak board.

Both Gnabry and Jenkinson are highly mediocre. We shouldn't be wasting our time with loans for them.

Yeah, I doubt Koeman is happy but he's not going to exacerbate problems by mouthing off. If transfers don't come off and there's a bad start to season could see it unravelling quickly.

Yep my hopes have lowered to just re-signing cork, given how bad things are.

That's contingent on us tying cork down to a new deal and retaining wanyama.

Not unless cl stands for championship league.

What an utter load of rubbish. No other club would let themselves get pillaged in this manner.

Great panic buys we'll struggle to get rid of in the championship.

Massively overpay for an ageing Dutch centre back whilst letting our 19 yr old centre back/ right back go to arsenal. Woooo hoooo, what a joke board. No interest in fer either, unless it's as replacement for wanyama leaving which would be another disaster.

Rose and holtby would be great signings.

Yeah we need to focus on keeping those players we still have. Renewed very good contracts for these 2 and clear statements to rest that no bids will even be countenanced.

Normally a club would just tell suitors to go away. However that's not 2014 saints, so wouldn't't be at all surprised to see rest of first xi leaving.

Really there are people that wouldn't welcome him back with open arms? The guy was a fantastic chairman that brought the club forward massively and made great managerial appointments.

Man united, Rafael isn't up to much IMO.

European ambition you are having a laugh, that's all I'll say on the matter.

Given the interest in a new keeper can't see Boruc staying long. There would be a tiny part of me filled with morbid curiosity at seeing an entire version of the first 11 in position sold. The rest of me would be wailing.

Still don't get how you sell a guy with a serious knee injury. Waiting for it turn we've sold him dirt cheap rather than the size of fee a top young English international striker should command

Nothing can tarnish his legacy. That said desperately keeping my fingers crossed that she sells to a decent buyer sharpshooter.

If they are going down on their knees and letting spurs have their way with us, getting holtby in the disgraceful act would be a tiny but useful addition.

If there were release clauses. Saints could easily blame cortèse and say they wanted to keep the player but contractually couldn't. Instead they seem to be actively touting their willingness to sell anyone and everyone either through complete naïveté and weakness or deliberately to extract value.

So you think vic will be happy coming back from international duty to this. Fonte, who has been annoyed by contract inaction. No wonder Davis is touted as captain. He's the only first teamer certain to be at saints come the season.

What about wanyama. Surely he ain't going to be happy arriving back from international duty for pre-season to find a gutted first xi.
