Southampton will make improved bids for Forster & Redmond and look to give Fonte the Captain's armband. Schneiderlin is also set to return to the club.

Hope so with the signings. I read the same on newsnow.
Why not make spider captain?


2.) 23 Jul 2014
Would rather spider had the band.

Not sure Fonte should even be in the first XI if the club is serious about making progress.

Assuming Lovren leaves, I think Saints need two new CBs.

Fonte is a great servant and very loyal but he made a few costly errors last season. Not sure he's good enough for the prem let alone captain the side


5.) 23 Jul 2014
Seriously?
Fonte is commanding at the back, and a calming influence for the youth.
IMO would be an ideal captain. Yeah we need more cbs but to shut fonte out of the team would be a mistake, we are loosing enough experienced heads without dropping them on our own!

Fonte not good enough for the prem?? Is that a joke? Obviously didn't watch much of our last campaign then


8.) 23 Jul 2014
Fonte is quality! He was solid at the back last season and I would love to see him with the armband! Amazing servant to the club and no1 would be better than Fonte for it! Coys!

Fonte made some pretty big mistakes last season, he's good enough for the prem but he's no where near the same level as de Vrij etc

Deals are being done all the time,because we don't hear about them doesn't mean Saints aren't doing any business.


11.) 23 Jul 2014
Fonte was good last season but I felt the intention was to bring in a new CB and fonte would be back.


12.) 23 Jul 2014
Fonte definitely not good enough to be in the side let alone captain it. Flog him to Cardiff if they still want him. Fonte has been a great servant to the club??
So what -so was Guly but he wasn't good enough either.
2 new centre backs needed if Lovren does eventually go!!


13.) 23 Jul 2014
Fonte absolute diamond, so loyal and superb professional. Get De Vrij and Vlaar alongside Fonte. Vlaar can play anywhere at the back even full back. We need a strong back line as we gave away so many needless goals last season.


14.) 23 Jul 2014
Fonte would is more than adequate as a squad member.


15.) 23 Jul 2014
How can everyone be upset with Fonte? Lovren didn't do it all on his own last season. Yeah he made a few mistakes but so did Lovren. Spurs away comes to mind. He will make a great captain.
