badgerx16 Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Too ill to train but has been able to get fitted for golf clubs and go to the barbers. Hmmm.... How much effort is required for that ?

Wade Garrett Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Sounds like Tom is full of sh*t and CB Fry is revelling in his internoot hard man image. Without trawling through swathes of crap posts, have I missed anything else?
Special K Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 There has been a spate of prolapsed arseholes in Soton recently, so he may have caught that?
ART Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Simon Peach @SimonPeach 26m The official line on Chambers' absence from #SaintsFC's friendly with #AFCB is illness. Will be interesting to see what Koeman says after
BallBoy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I make it we have about £50 million left. We need to spend it fast before the rest of the senior players give up. I have tried to be optimistic but we have quite literally lost our 4 best players. No team can do that and call it progress.
Winnersaint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 There are going to be a lot of people looking like right tits when we sign some very decent replacements. Hell, if we don't and the worst does transpire, then I am more than happy to look a tit, but at least I won;t have spent so many weeks being so bloody morose. My sentiments exactly. It's Saints FFS. Support them or **** off and support Manuchelsareslivercitytott. Nothing we can do about it. Not good I'll agree but we still have a club to support, which was more than it looked like in June 2009. Don't understand why people can't be grateful for that. My opinion FWIW is that we are paying price for Pochettino's failure in not getting that squad into the EL, which would have at least signposted progression even if CL was ultimately unrealistic. Gonna be an interesting season!!

trousers Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 @bigadamsport: RT @solentsport: Koeman described talk of a bid for Fraser Forster of Celtic, and an incoming bid for Calum Chambers as "rumours". #SaintsFC
buctootim Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Did he say if they were true rumours or false rumours?
teenagegsaint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Any truth in the Chambers to Arsenal rumour, Guan?
Give it to Ron Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Koeman plays it down but gathering pace - signing coming soon - Koeman Alex Goring Crook @alex_crook 8m Ronald Koeman has told my reporter #saintsfc are close to making a new signing. My money is on van Dijk Alex Goring Crook @alex_crook 7m Koeman played down rumours Calum Chambers is on the verge of joining #afc but reports are gathering pace he could be on his way #saintsfc

Baird of the land Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Really there can't be any truth to stories about us selling our star young right back can there? That's without even bothering about the pittance fees being quoted. Sales have tested my faith in board's ability to say no.
gary3009 Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I'm sorry but i just do not understand the need to sell Chambers for that amount. A player who is getting better and who,to me anyway,shows the potential to be usefully versatile for us. Why do we have to sell?? This is just getting ridiculous ....
WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Hope Di Marzio is right on twitter says De Vrij to Saints next week. Get him and Van Dijk as cb and things will be looking a lot better
Saint Charlie Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Hope Di Marzio is right on twitter says De Vrij to Saints next week. Get him and Van Dijk as cb and things will be looking a lot better Really? Can only find him saying Lazio are in advanced discussions for him.
SuperSAINT Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 sam byram linked to us as chambers replacement Yeah, might have to dust off those old links to right backs... Wern't we linked with Mauricio Isla too?
kpturner Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Chambers is definitely going I'm afraid (had it confirmed). Confirmed by whom?
bristolsaint29 Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Confirmed by whom? Just seen £16m as the price apparently
SuperSAINT Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Where? http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/11368125.Arsenal_and_Saints_discuss___16m_Chambers_deal/?ref=twt
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Feels like a bit of a cleansing as much as a fire sale. Lots of players going all at once - is this the plan to remove all of the Cortese/Pochettino favourites for as good a price as possible and start afresh by letting Ronnie choose the side he wants to build? Probably nonsense on my part but, if I believe it, it acts as my coping strategy!
kpturner Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 £16m - totally ridiculous fee, but given the current situation I would prefer to keep him. Bit tough with Clyne and Chambers worthy of the same slot though.
Baird of the land Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/11368125.Arsenal_and_Saints_discuss___16m_Chambers_deal/?ref=twt Crettinous comments trying to justify selling a great young player. You'd forget the amount of wonga they ******** had already pocketed.
Badger Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 sam byram linked to us as chambers replacement That would be quite a good move , but doubt we'll have the initiative for such a move.
Badger Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I'm sorry but i just do not understand the need to sell Chambers for that amount. A player who is getting better and who,to me anyway,shows the potential to be usefully versatile for us. Why do we have to sell?? This is just getting ridiculous .... Beyond belief isn't it ? Reed must be the most calamitous clown to be involved in the club since Rupert.
DG Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 BenSmithBBC - I'm told Arsenal want Morgan Schneiderlin AND Callum Chambers from Southampton. Spurs have also made an enquiry for Jay Rodriguez Seriously...what's the point? A nightmare transfer window and the board have a lot to answer - you CAN SAY NO
Saints foreva Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 BenSmithBBC - I'm told Arsenal want Morgan Schneiderlin AND Callum Chambers from Southampton. Spurs have also made an enquiry for Jay Rodriguez Seriously...what's the point? A nightmare transfer window and the board have a lot to answer - you CAN SAY NO They will bottle holding that BBC fan forum that Ralph said would be making a return.
hypochondriac Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 If we sell Jay rod, chambers and schneiderlin then we may as well close the club down and it's basically asset stripping IMO.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Guess this is what happens when you make a CFO a CEO? Off to bed with the hope this will all look better in the morning. But I'm pretty sure it won't! Bad times. Just hoping Ronald makes good on his assertion we will be stronger by the time the season starts...
hypochondriac Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Couldn't give a fck. If we want Gnabry and they're prepared to sell, buy him. Don't throw away the future of your club. We can handle one player like Shaw leaving for a good fee, but the plan was still to produce good players for the team. Chambers was supposed to be one who'd be here a long time. A very good player but under the spotlight and unlikely to move, it seemed. Who cares we have another good RB? We had 2 good ones last season. Now we have 1 and infinitely less hope. Why shouldn't Clyne leave? He's a good player, he'd improve Liverpool, christ even Man Utd. We may as well be in the championship if this is how it's going to be. What is the point of having loads of money if we have no players?
Saint Charlie Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 We may as well be in the championship if this is how it's going to be. What is the point of having loads of money if we have no players? Quite a bit of our squad has a Championship feel to it anyway. Only a handful of genuine PL proven players.
niceandfriendly Posted 26 July, 2014 Posted 26 July, 2014 In this interview when asked about Targett and if we need another Left back, Koeman accidently said "with Marcos, er, with Targett we have a good player and we're looking for another one". Hope he just gave away the Rojo signing. About 3.45 here: https://audioboo.fm/boos/2352532-reaction-here-s-koeman1963-talking-to-kristemple-after-saintsfc-s-1-0-win-at-afcb#t=0m13s

We now need 2/3 marquee signings, not 1, 2 or 3. We've pocketed an insane amount of money, so now we can reinvest it. If we don't, then we've clearly got some insanely bad financial issues. The £18m or so we've spent so far isn't even touching what we've received in transfer fees.
S-Clarke Posted 26 July, 2014 Posted 26 July, 2014 Marcus Bent? Stewart? Marlon King. We can pay his bail, or something. Or maybe, as a tactic, we can buy up all the players who usually score against us and just stockpile them in the reserves. Just like Chelsea do with all the young European talent.
Tom28 Posted 26 July, 2014 Posted 26 July, 2014 Sounds like Tom is full of sh*t and CB Fry is revelling in his internoot hard man image. Without trawling through swathes of crap posts, have I missed anything else? http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28497920 Full of what?
Wade Garrett Posted 26 July, 2014 Posted 26 July, 2014 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28497920 Full of what? Fair play Tom. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
egg Posted 26 July, 2014 Posted 26 July, 2014 Quite a bit of our squad has a Championship feel to it anyway. Only a handful of genuine PL proven players. None of our players were "genuine PL proven players" when we were promoted. Ditto the academy boys when they broke through. Ditto any foreign player who has never played in the PL before.
OldNick Posted 26 July, 2014 Posted 26 July, 2014 Hark at him. Okay, you've never whined about bullies in response to me. Or grizzled about stuff I may have said to you on here. Or weeped about me attacking your opinions. Fair enough.no evidence then lol
CB Fry Posted 26 July, 2014 Posted 26 July, 2014 no evidence then lol No, of course not. Not on our exchange about Waynyama the other day, or your pis s weak psycho - analysis of me being bullied at school or some nonsense or you desperately trawling for posts on this forum where you think I've been precious. No, no evidence whatsoever.
