Not really. Leeds has it's crap parts, as does Southampton, but the nightlife, shopping and culture knocks Southampton for six.

 

thats as maybe, but its still up north and f*cking freezing

From the sound of it, Barnie will be partnering Lambo up front which is a mouth-watering prospect to say the least. I think Rickie will be scoring a few more goals now too because defences will just not be able to handle the pair of them AND the likes of Lallana, Antonio and Waigo pitching in too. Overall excellent signing - shows the intent has not gone away (far from it!) and all we need now is as I've been saying for a couple of months is a strong attacking central midfielder. THANK YOU once again Markus and Nicola for supporting AP and giving us something to cheer about.

 

COYR!

Welcome aboard Lee I really hope you do well.

 

My one concern is Lambert and Barnard up front seems a little short on pace.

 

The pace will come from the wings. Barnard still fast enough to cause a threat at this level.

As long as we have pace in the wide areas it should be fine. Lambert, Barnard, Waigo and Lallana would be fine, replace Lallana and Waigo with Holmes and James and we'd lack any penetration.

 

Personally I think when Connollys fit he will start, Barnard will probably end up playing more games. Can't see Connolly being able to play twice a week so I imagine they'll rotate a fair bit.

Good, no idea about him, but I have been worried about cover for Lambert, and we've taken action to solve that problem.

 

Identify problem area, sign player to solve it. Jeez seems SO easy doesn't it

Have been told LB was very very sharp today in training at Staplewood and will most likely start up front with Lambert if not will be defo in bench. Personally I think this will be great as to be fair to RL although he can finish he isnt the worlds quickest :) So I suspect LB will play off him.

Excellent news!

 

Looking at the fixture list, lets hope a decent chunk of their fee is based on us gaining promotion this season.

A silly question I think. I don't know why everyone is so concerned about Patterson now. He never really impressed me and he has had a fair few opportunities.

 

Barnard on the other hand is totally proven in this league, and at a perfect age. If you put a poll on this forum 'who would you rather played for saints, Patterson or Barnard?' I think you would find it would be pretty conclusive.

 

its a silly question because YOU don't rate him? Well thanks for that. I didn't realise you opinion was fact.

 

As regards your poll, it doesn't adress my question at all. Is Barnard actually better than Paterson is what I asked, not which player fans want. I was after responses from people that know what Paterson is all about and really know Barnard having seen him a fair bit. So thanks for you response. It was worthless.

Said he was looking for a Mellis replacement on Solent last weekend as well, would be nice to get a proper goal scoring midfielder in.

 

did he mean a midfielder that gets into the box or just another central midfielder because Melis had left him one short?

He didn't say, just said something along the lines of needing another body in midfield because Mellis wasn't coming back.

 

I was hoping we'd bring in an attacking midfielder but after the Stock link it looks like it will be another in the Hammond/Schneiderlin mould, agree that we really need someone who's going to bust a gut getting into the box not another deep lying midfielder.

Are we bringing MLT out of retirement?

Southampton bashing seems the in thing nowadays, disagree with you, it's because sotonians don't have any pride in there city unlike people from Leeds/Manchester/Liverpool/Newcastle. Newcastle as a city has less people than southampton, you wouldn't of thought it though, Southampton needs to let people know about it, people be proud of your city.

Chez it's a no brainer for me, sign somone proven at this level or keep someone one who is unproven at any level.

Due to a lack of pride, it's like a good looking bird who has got fat and lost respect for herself, it's up to the good people of southampton to raise it's profile.

rubbish. It has bad bits. Its been badly run.

 

But its green spaces are second to none. The rest could be sorted.

 

I am always proud to show people the best of Southampton.

 

We take places like the Avenue for granted, but its really unique.

Well said, the city needs more like you and less of the hoity toity Ponty types with no soul.
