Key players leaving??

[VectisSaint]

Two things from this completely pointless thread:

(1) The interpretation of AP's comment as about as obtuse as could possibly be. It is fundamentally clear that AP was saying that he is OK to start the season with the squad we currently have, but that we will need more (and while the transfer window is open that is not an issue). As for anyone who "bricks it" based on an interview with a football manager, then seriously you need to take a look at yourself and grow up (unless you are only 10 years old of course)

(2) Alpine admits he " doesn't know". That must be a first.

"We might not secure them but we'll be pretty close - I'm pretty confident we can start the season with the squad we've got but we do want a couple more additions - maybe three."

 

Were Pardews comments after last night, am i the only one absolutely ****ting it and totally panicing and over reacting to this quote that he is 'pretty confident' of starting the season with this squad or does he mean that key players are going to leave so we dont start the season with this squad?

 

with the squad we have I will be pretty confident when the season starts but would ideally like to add two or three - is how I read it yestersay

Laughable thread. None of our key players are leaving, people just being paranoid as usual. With regards to people saying the squad is weaker than last season, yes we may have lost Antonio, who I think was effective, and Papa Waigo, who I didn't rate that much, but we have cleared out the dead wood in the squad and are slowly building a good side. I am confident there will be a few more additions before the window closes, and the signing's we have madehave been good, our backline is now solid. When was the last time you could say that about a Saints back line. Bring on this season, comparing this squad now to the one we have a year ago makes you feel so much better!
