Thedelldays Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 I think regardless of whether you are right or wrong (and you are wrong on occasion) removing the patronising tone in all of your replies would help when trying to have a proper conversation. adrians has turned into the most self righteous, pompous patronising poster of all time....

hypochondriac Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 adrians has turned into the most self righteous, pompous patronising poster of all time.... That never used to be the case. I used to quite like Adrian's posts and posting style. Over the past year however I have noticed that almost every reply is patronising and hints at superiority. Rather sad.

bender Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 So have we signed Forren then? http://beta.dailyexpress.co.uk/sport/football/371637/Southampton-sign-Norwegian-defender-Vegard-Forren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 Anyone else slightly concerned the new manager has indicated that we do not need anyone else in the rest of the transfer window? I thought the one good thing to come from him coming on board is that we may attract a couple of big name players which would enhance the squad this window which we may not have been able to get with Adkins otherwise seems very strange timing to do this??

Don't read anything into that, besides a lot is going to be lost in translation over the next few weeks. And at the end of the day, NA was always the same. Cards close to chest, don't reveal anything. I'd be very, very surprised if Forren was our only addition. In fact I'm now expecting a fair few, but I'm not sure where the money is coming from.

trousers Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21084201 "An interesting sub-plot for Southampton fans is the potential summer arrival of talented Espanyol midfielder Joan Verdu, a creative playmaker widely regarded as the Catalan club's best player. Verdu, 29, is out of contract at the end of the season and has not agreed a new deal, with the club struggling to find funds to pay him as they seek to reduce their debts. A host of clubs across Europe are known to be keen on securing his services for nothing in June. Considering his history with Pochettino, it's fairly safe to add Southampton to that list of suitors."

Dont know that much about him but if he´s such a talented player, why wait until the summer. Can´t cost too much if his contract expires then....??

Giordano Posted 20 January, 2013 Share Posted 20 January, 2013 Its a lot better than arry coming in and basically saying the team is rubbish and we've no chance really. MP is right to say he thinks teh current team is strong. If he said otherwise would reveal him as an idiot. He avoided lots of bear traps in his interviews very skilfully. He's not stupid.
