Can Southampton break the top four next season?

Yep, and so far theres not even a sniff of one half-decent signing.

 

I assume you know people on the inside of the club in the know? Details?

 

Yep, you keep repeating that old mantra...

 

You say that to dismiss adriansfc's point as if it isn't valid. It is valid, you don't know what the club is doing behind closed doors, to assume they are doing nothing on the transfer front is a bizarre logical step to take and one you are rightly ridiculed for.

They spent most of last summer poncing around on Ramirez. 'Nuff said.

We signed 8 players last summer and as a newly promoted club those 8 players (including Ramirez) helped Saints finish 14th and be part of the most lucrative domestic season in world football in 2013/14 = a successful summer 2012 transfer window with the objective achieved.

Why do you disagree with that? Last time I checked Saints were in the Premier League for 2013/14 and Boruc, Clyne, Yoshida, Rodriguez, Davis and Ramirez all played a big part in that. Gazzaniga, Mayuka and Forren less so, but they are all young and can play a role in future seasons. So yes, objective achieved!

Because we didnt pay enough attention to the defence because of it. I reckon we could have finished top 10 without Ramirez and with a couple of decent CBs instead. Have you forgotten just how bad the seasons start and end were ?

 

Have you forgotten that Ramirez played an important role in a number of games helping us gain points? He really didn't do as badly as lots on here make out. I still maintain he is our best player.

Alpine expects us to do all our business in early June like Man Utd did last season (although actually they didn't). He expects this despite the fact that the transfer window is not even open yet (opens on 1st July). He also thinks that because we are pursuing one target we cannot multi-task. He also likes to ignore the facts, he suggests we ignored the defence despite signing Clyne, Yoshida, Boruc (and Gazza) who last time I looked were integral parts of our defensive set up together with Shaw who was clearly going to make the step up. But hey, you are accused of trotting out the same mantra, an accusation made by mantra man himself. Tiresome but at least it is a little amusing to read when there is nothing else going on. I was almost beginning to think Alpine had perhaps seen the light and gone away to provide an equal level of support to some other sucker team.

Not sure of the stats myself but I'd like to see our win % with and without Ramirez.
