Goatboy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 oh a forum where people voice their opinions, you call it bedwetting, dont you think it a bit childish? It is a different opinion to your own and you cant cope with that. I can see a deterioration of the club I follow and point it out. In your inability to argue your point you have to throw playground names. A bit like the Pompey fans have to shout scummer, a nonsense term and very low brow. Go on doing it, it just shows you up yep you've got it in one, and I tell you what he'd go, no matter how you believe the board are strong and will rebuff them.Iam quite happy to be a bedwetter it has served me very well in life. i dont have the all is well in my little rosy world, i think ahead and try and steer into calmer waters before the s### hits the fan. others just go headlong ito the carcrash not seeing whats approaching. So carry on with your schoolground namecalling, it is always a sign of being bullied in your real life Calm down Nick. I'm just quoting you. Here you are happy to be a bedwetter. Like SaintRichmond you appear to be arguing with yourself. Only one person showing himself up here.
Polaroid Saint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I'll bet you a cheese sandwich that nothing happens today. Sadly I can't risk it. That's too high a stake on such poor odds. ;-)
John B Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I'll bet you a cheese sandwich that nothing happens today. I agree but will raise you as I'll bet a cheese and pickle sandwich that nothing happens today
Plastic Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 It's quite entertaining to see forum members go postal one by one, it's like something suddenly snaps due to the information vacuum we are in. Personally I've transferred my obsession to the totty thread, it feels healthier.

notnowcato Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I preferred the old rumour thread... at least that had some humour / sexy ladies on it. This one just has the stench of a burned St Charlie.
SimplyRed&White Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I think one of the areas where concern is growing is the fact players who have been offered new contracts ie Rodriguez, Fonte and presumably Cork are stalling and with Schneiderlin and Lovren being lined up for an exit that is a hell of a lot of uncertainty with the new season looming. RK is a good manager but he too has to find his feet in the world's most competitive league where "settling-in" time will be at a premium.It is only the media that say we have offered new contracts, not the players or the club. As a good union man you know not to accept the first offer. You negotiate for the best you can. Keep calm.
Give it to Ron Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I preferred the old rumour thread... at least that had some humour / sexy ladies on it. This one just has the stench of a burned St Charlie. or a burned cheese toasted sandwich...

thorpie the sinner Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Hopefully after game today, big Ron will give us an update as to where we are with incomings, been quite upfront thus far.
Goatboy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 answering for CB Fry, you are confusing yourself you must remember which username to use before replying Oh dear. That old chestnut. Is that the only answer you have left now Nick? Unsubstantiated accusations because you have made a numpty of yourself?
Toadhall Saint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Put everyone bar Guan 2.0 and Monk on your ignore list. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/profile.php?do=ignorelist Alternatively why not start a thread named GUAN, KBilly, Monk updates? They can then post on that.

Goatboy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Are you CB Fry? I thought you were Jeff?! I've forgotten who I am now. It's so difficult to keep up. I call myself Goatboy but if anyone else describes me as Goatboy they are being childish.
OldNick Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Oh dear. That old chestnut. Is that the only answer you have left now Nick? Unsubstantiated accusations because you have made a numpty of yourself? just pointing out your confusion. It is a hot day
Goatboy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 just pointing out your confusion. It is a hot day You're right, I am confused. Are you 'happy being a bedwetter' but not happy if you are called a bedwetter? Is it childish to call someone a bedwetter but not childish to call yourself a bedwetter? This is the sort of thing that keeps me awake at night. That, and the p**s soaked mattress;)
Saint Billy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Oh well same old same old, back to the Totty thread:D

Oh, and the red panda can stay as well Alex Crook blocked me on Twitter this morning so I've lost one of my top notch sources of exclusive hot-off-the-press Saints news now.... What with being blocked by Neil Allen a few months ago I'm running out of tweets to cut and paste. Just Bobby Davro and Keith Chegwin left now.
Gorgiesaint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Page 4, new thread ruined. Well done guys, great effort.
DT Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Our first game is on August 17, away, against Liverpool. Has anyone told those in charge of getting a team together?
alpine_saint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 3 weeks to first game, 5 players short, nothing in the wires, and no appartent movement in offloading Osvaldo. Has uncle Les and the board p*ssed off on holiday, or has the dosh been spirited back to Switzerland and thats yer lot ? Worried.

Matthew Le God Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 (edited) Our first game is on August 17, away, against Liverpool. Has anyone told those in charge of getting a team together? Is this not a team...? Boruc Chambers Fonte Lovren(Yoshida) Clyne(Targett) Wanyama Davis Schneiderlin Ramirez Tadic Pelle Left back and centre back may not be ideal, but its far from a disaster. Plus we still have 23 days for further additions before the opening game. Edited 25 July, 2014 by Matthew Le God

Matthew Le God Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Either you really need your bumps felt, or Katharina is paying you. What is wrong with that as a team? (and please don't use the pathetic nickname Gashton in your reply)
Saint Garrett Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Thats still a decent side and that is without Cork. However you take Lovren out and it looks a hell of a lot more shaky.

Has uncle Les and the board p*ssed off on holiday, or has the dosh been spirited back to Switzerland and thats yer lot ? Worried. We're trying to get the best possible players which is why it takes longer but it is the right thing to do. What is the point in quickly getting in average players when we have a youth system like ours? Go to pub or something, have some fun in the sun and signings will be here before you know it.

Beckenham Saint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Either you really need your bumps felt, or Katharina is paying you. That team would be perfectly adequate, alright it won't win the league, but that as a starting 11, ignoring the 23 days in which we will see additions to key areas, would not be relegated either. As a starting XI, I would be pretty happy with that. (and please don't use the pathetic nickname Gashton in your reply) Don't hold your breath. Also, just seen this on the ever reliable(!) "football-rumours.co.uk": 24 Jul 2014 09:50:05 Celtic have this morning rejected a £6.5m bid for Virgil van Dijk from Southampton
Saint IQ Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 does that mean pelle and tadic are average. we got them pretty quickly? Manager (having Koeman) and clubs willing to sell got them in quickly, although was it that quick? We were probably working on them for 2-3 weeks
S-Clarke Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 does that mean pelle and tadic are average. we got them pretty quickly? Pelle and Tadic both dragged on a bit, and at the time people were moaning about how long it was taking us to sort that. Looking back now it seems as if it was sorted quickly, but the reality is that it was a fair few weeks of will he won't he.
Batman Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Manager (having Koeman) and clubs willing to sell got them in quickly, although was it that quick? We were probably working on them for 2-3 weeks "probably" i see so, have we not been working on transfers all summer then. after all, we knew these players were leaving months ago. we have (and I quote) over 20 scouts world wide watching players and managers in detail so that the turn over of staff is a smooth one
Matthew Le God Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Thats still a decent side and that is without Cork. However you take Lovren out and it looks a hell of a lot more shaky. True, but if(when) Lovren is sold its hard to see Saints not buying another centre back(maybe even two). Yoshida starting is fine for a bottom half Premier League team, not if we want to maintain a top half finish. If Hooiveld plays its a disaster waiting to happen and he'd be better off at a Championship side. We are being linked with Lovren replacements, and if we get one of these to sign the Lovren departure may not have a huge impact... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-transfers-virgil-van-dijk-3909641 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-want-stefan-de-vrij-3893127
Window Cleaner Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 "probably" i see so, have we not been working on transfers all summer then. after all, we knew these players were leaving months ago. we have (and I quote) over 20 scouts world wide watching players and managers in detail so that the turn over of staff is a smooth one and yet we only seem to be signing Dutchmen or players from Holland. I make that about err 19 scouts who aren't pulling their weight. Mind you with some of the crap we've signed in the recent past perhaps it's just as well.
Beckenham Saint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 [/b] and yet we only seem to be signing Dutchmen or players from Holland. I know you expanded and included "players from Holland" which both our new signings are, but neither Tadíc or Pellè are Dutch.
Bearsy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Is this not a team...? Boruc Chambers Fonte Lovren(Yoshida) Clyne(Targett) Wanyama Davis Schneiderlin Ramirez Tadic Pelle Left back and centre back may not be ideal, but its far from a disaster. Plus we still have 23 days for further additions before the opening game. That looks ok to me MLG, i mean it might be a bit Southampton Nil at first unless the new bros settle in quick & if cowman can get something our of "Gashton"(lol!) You'd be worried tho, wouldn't you MLG, if pre match any of Boruc of Centre Back or Pelle or Tadic or Ramirez is pull up injury! Kelvin Chambers Yoshida Hooiveld Clyne Davis Wanyama Morgan Mayuka Sharp Isgrove Edit: If any of the bold bros start i will be immediate bet on Liverpool!
Sevvy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I can remember a few years back when we were a way to Wolves they were on a good run and Saints had a lot of injuries so we had to send a weakened team with a few youngsters in it, no one gave us a chance saying we were going to get stuffed, now didn't we win 6-0. So all this talk of a below par team, give them a chance you never know after a few games together we might upset a few of the big boys, what ever happens I will support Saints, we are Saints fans.lets stop the bickering on here, and look for the positives.

Window Cleaner Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I know you expanded and included "players from Holland" which both our new signings are, but neither Tadíc or Pellè are Dutch. I was projecting into the future with Vlaar and Van Dijk or whatever he's called.
doggface Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I would generally put myself in the patient camp regarding saints, but I admit I am getting concerned about us getting deals over the line. transfer market is tough but I am disappointed we are not further along in the rebuilding process now. I rate tadic and Pelle but we need more and soon if we are to have any hope of a good start. ron was a great appointment but there is still a lot of uncertainty around and I think it's going to be a transitional season at best and a relegation fight at worse. We were overpaid for certain transfers and it maybe that we have to do the same to get some key deals done, we are not in a strong bargaining position due to our lack of bodies.
