Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 May, 2012 Share Posted 11 May, 2012 People do seem a bit dense often when it comes to football. My dream is a world where football fans don't have a summer reset button for all acquired knowledge of the past season. My dream is for a world where dorks on an internet football forum are able to debate subjects without resorting to abuse of other posters because they don't have the intelligence to do otherwise. I'm not holding my breath for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stattmeister Posted 11 May, 2012 Share Posted 11 May, 2012 I'd forgotten how amusing this time of year is and the hullabaloo about who we are signing "FACT", particularly the football rumours website. Too funny a read to ignore (and I am not suggesting any of these are realistic or viable) but silly season last year is going to be a hundred times worse now we're in the prem; every slimey agent is going to be touting their average players and peddling their wares for a decent pay day in our direction - Cortese is going to be in his element with them... http://www.southamptonrumours.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted 11 May, 2012 Share Posted 11 May, 2012 In the same way it's also short sighted to say a player is a world beater, just based on 1 or 2 games we've watched. We're SWF. We don't need to watch games, we've got YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 11 May, 2012 Share Posted 11 May, 2012 A lot of opposing fans that I spoke to this season thought that Guly caused them a lot of problems. Despite us generally not particularly rating him, and the frustrations he brings, it's his unexpected nature that makes him a problem from the opposition team. I don't think he's amazing by any stretch but he was involved in our best and most effective football this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 11 May, 2012 Share Posted 11 May, 2012 Surely that depends which fleeting glimpses? Plenty of games that made him look very good. From the outside he's a goalscoring midfielder/forward in a promotion winning side. I bet any NPC side would be chuffed to sign him. £3.5m is high, but far stranger things have happened. I'd value him at £2m myself. Beyond the harsh words on here, if Guly had played as a striker the entire season, it's perfectly reasonable to think he could have notched 20 goals. Clubs will see that and be prepared to pay for it. Even £2 million is too much. Based on his age (he's no spring chicken) and his form in the second half of the season, we'd be lucky to get a million for him. Perhaps if we had sold him in January we'd have got £2mill, but not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper/Rodriguez Snodgrass, Davies, A right back, A keeper, A Centre Midfielder Reckon we'll be fine. I'm most looking forward to how Cortese handles the extra media pressure concerning transfers. Will be interesting to see if we can keep it all secret like we have in the past. Also be interesting to see if there's any truth in this "difficult to deal with tag" we keep hearing about.
