Davis to replace Schneiderlin

I think Davis could replace Schneiderlin.
He does not score many in AM but is a good tackler and passer as DM he would work really well with big Vic.

Put Reed in AM too and make him watch 100 videos of Paul Scholes during the summer and that could work.

The only thing Harry Reed has in common with Paul Scholes is his hair colour. He's more like Steve Sidwell, if we're measuring him against other ginger midfielders.

He's shown he can do a steady job in a defensive role. He'll be a good squad player. But the club will have to sign a proper replacement for Schneiderlin - there's just no way around it. They can't lose their best player by a mile and just try and make do with what they've got.

Like all young up and coming players they need game time and regular football to improve. Look at Walcott,Oxlade-Chamberlain,Shaw,Chambers and the stand out Alan Shearer who at 17 scored a hat trick against Arsenal - the rest is history. I could go on but just throwing in random names as examples. I remember Alan Hansen of Liverpool making a comment that has come back time after time to haunt him"teams won't win anything with youngsters". Bit unfair to liken Reed to Steve Sidwell who will be remembered as a journeyman playing the majority of games with Fulham and Reading. Still waiting to hear Qwertyell to post something that is positive mainly about Saints players,youngsters,the board ,manager,groundsman,tea lady,programme seller,etc.,etc., Onto Leicester and get back on track.

i think reed could develop into a good playmaker playing in a side that like to move the ball around. I totally agree that a replacement of high quality would be needed to replace schneiderlin if he was to leave. we should look for a playmaker who can defend rather than another wanyama though

What about Clasie? isn't he allegedly being lined up to replace Spiderman?

{Ed001's Note - he was lined up to replace Cork in Jan, I would still see him being signed in the summer, but to replace Cork not Schneiderlin. Not saying Schneiderlin is defo staying, just that Saints tried to sign Clasie to strengthen the midfield alongside him. So, unless something has changed, like new interest from elsewhere or Saints have decided against getting him in favour of a different option, I would expect him to come in purely to enhance the current options.}

Ed001 are you qwertyell in disguise. I think you are and am positive that you post your comments to create reactions to keep this banter going. Good on you but your cover is blown as far as I'm concerned. I'm up for a bit of this and will you expose the club that you really support - methinks it's not the boys in red and white. Come on convince me your not an imposter. In the meantime I still Challenge qwertyell to post something that is 100% positive about the Saints I.e. The board , the manager, the effort the team squad have put in, this season that proved the cynics wrong, the envy of the other premier league teams of our academy- I could go on and on but hey I can't wait for the end of the season and stand tall and be proud of what we have achieved this season.COYR's

{Ed001's Note - are you being serious? No one could be this dense surely? I make no secret of my allegiance, if you haven't looked at my profile to see who it is, then that is not my fault. As for lacking positivity, how much more positive can I be than pointing out that Clasie was lined up to replace Cork, that he is not of interest to replace Schneiderlin? Saints tried to bring him in to play alongside Schneiderlin and Wanyama to push for Europe, but couldn't get a deal done in January.

I don't have time for childish games, I have 80+ sites to edit, so please don't waste my time with your idiotic theories that make no sense. If I wanted to stir up banter, I wouldn't waste my time doing it here when there are Liverpool and Man Utd sites that have many times as many posters to banter with. It just isn't worth my while to do it here if I was so disposed.}

If all theorists were posted as idiots what an idiotic world we live in. As for the childish remark then all people that enjoy a good banter would be placed in a giant crèche of pre school infants. Lighten up Ed001 just trying to get qwertyell to stop being so negative about our beloved saints. I'll take your word that you are what you are. Sorry but being positive about Classie wasn't exactly a secret . Being a bit nosy I didn't know that Southampton Fc have 80+ sites. If they haven't what other teams do you edit? If you do edit other teams that doesn't sound like allegiance to me just a job. Still in the meantime I am enjoying a bacon and egg sandwich here in Leicester and looking forward to a hopeful return to form today and a hopeful 3 pts. Funny old game.COYR's

{Ed002's Note - Try not to be such an nmoron. Last summer the Southampton fans made embarrassing idiots of themselves for abusing an editor who explained exactly what would happen - and it did. This summer you will be fed tiny tidbits of information only because quite frankly it isn't worth the grief to me to tell you more.}

Or dear oh dear moron now. Well at least this moron is in Leicester supporting our team. Are you there? As for info you probably know as much as the rest of us. Now southampton fans are idiots who excercised a right to question editors opinions. That's life for Christ sake. Getting grief is part and parcel of your job as long as it's not personal and obscene - you don't deserve that. I would be the first to have a go at anyone who abused you on this site. This summer will be very interesting for any outgoings or/and I comings. Whatever happens what a season hopefully we can do a job today and get the 3 pts today. COYR's

{Ed001's Note - you are being a moron for accusing us of underhand actions and for being too stupid to look at the profile to see that we are not, and have never claimed to be, Southampton fans. No one is calling all Saints fans idiots, nor do you have a clue what you are talking about regarding what we know. We tried to give information last summer and received abuse, now I give a bit and you start making pathetic accusations and bitching. Waste of our time dealing with people like you. If all you want is Saints fans then go elsewhere, none of our sites are meant to purely for one team, but to talk about that one team.}

Personally I think all the Eds do a fantastic job keeping us informed. I'm sure that Paddysketch 1 didn't mean any harm with his comments but I realise that a few idiotic remarks can make your job harder. Come on Saints fans, get behind the Eds and stop abusing them. This site can't function without them.

{Ed001's Note - he clearly intended harm making accusations like that. The whole point of these sites was to expose all the idiotic lies spread through rumours, then we get idiots who spread more, like him. It is very harmful to suggest we are stirring up banter like that, why would we bother? If we want to give a contrary opinion we could do so through our own editor's names. So to suggest we are like a lot of these fan forums out there, with their multiple accounts is a very harmful thing to say. We try hard to avoid those kind of things for good reason. If you go and read up on sites like Koptalk, and how their owner just rips people off, you will see why I am so anti that kind of thing, being at one time a Koptalk regular before I found out what he was doing. That is why we keep the sites free, as increasing the subscriber base plus keeping it happy would require definite regular info. So it would be easy to just then end up making stuff up just to keep people interested. We avoid that. Sometimes we can't get info on a particular club for months on end, and we are open to saying if we don't know. One of the first rules we say to all editors is to make sure to say that if you don't know the answer say you don't know. You can then give an opinion, but it is better to say you don't have any info first before giving an opinion as we have survived this long (nearly 14 years) purely on trust. The trust that when we give info it is not just off the top of our head and made up. It doesn't mean we always get things right, but at least people know that we aren't just guessing like the newspapers. We rely on trust on both sides, as sometimes we get information we can't pass on that can affect things but we are unable to pass on, such as personal things that affect why a player might be wanting a move but that we are asked not to pass on. So we have to steer clear of the fake accounts, as then no one knows who to trust.}

As I said before I think all the Eds do a bloody good job and I hope that stupid remarks from 1 or 2 people doesn't put us back to where we were last year when all the Eds refused to give any information to us because of abuse. I say again Saints fans, Get off the Eds backs. They don't have to do what they are doing for us

Well this thread's taken a weird turn.

Saints 2-0 down and playing like relegation fodder. Or to bury my head in the sand and invent something "positive" for the those in denial that the wheels have well and truly fallen off, they look resplendent in their stripes.

Oh, Gazzaniga's actually saved a shot as I was typing that. Positive number two. They just keep on coming.

I can see your point qwerty ell.not too many positives from the second half of this season. I hope that Roko has some video of the first 15 matches to show prospective signings because if they look at the last 20 they won't sign

Hi here I am back again seemed to have been blocked out on my previous username paddysketch1. 1st rule don't upset the Ed. Seems to be a bit quirky. Nice to see that qwertyell and teejaysaint have bonded - lovely. Saints were crap today but I travelled to Leicester where over 3000 loyal supporters attended. Great day out and not despondent. Qwertyell sits at home knitting whilst teejaysaint hoovers. Stood on terraces and forced to sit for over 55 years! True supporter and proud. People like qwertyell,teejaysaint and the Eds are tiresome and need to come into the real world wherre TRUE supporters attend all matches in all weather and give them the backing what they deserve.

I'll have you know Thomas51 aka Paddysketch 1 that I have been a Saints supporter for over 50 years and followed them home and away in all leagues and in all weather. I've also been a season ticket holder for over 20 years only giving up going to matches recently because I'm disabled. I try to keep abreast of what's happening to the club that I love by using sites such as this. It only takes one moron such as yourself to wind the Eds up and put us back to where we were last year when the Eds refused to update this site. I'm hoping that you have enough common sense to realise that you are spoiling other people's enjoyment by writing some of the crap that you post but I don't think I'll hold my breath. You say that qwertyell and I have bonded. Well maybe that's because we write things as we see them not with rose tinted specs like yourself. I want to see Saints doing well but when they play crap I reserve the right to say so. If you're happy with the way we have played during the second half of the season I would suggest that you are in the minority

It's hilarious to the point of pitying him how much paddysketch1/thomas51 can't comprehend the EDs are self-admittedly not saints fans and in fact edit multiple teams tumour sites. What a complete moron.

Keep up the good work, EDs!

Keep it coming there's nothing anybody can post that would upset me. Everybody has the right to their opinion. The ed did remark that the southampton fans made embarrassing idiots for abusing an editor in black and white. Like your sense of humour qwertyell in your last post it made me smile good effort. Totally agree that we have been under achieving lately which is very frustrating for everybody. As for donola cocacola can't make out whether your male or female with a name like that - shut up u plonker sounded like Del Boy to Rodney. Shorttonideas coming out with " complete moron" again good effort should change to shortonbrainsTo teejaysaint- this is genuine when I post that I am very sorry to hear about your disability. Would never joke about that. In the meantime again a hard match coming up against Aston Villa - hope it's a full house with plenty of noise for the lads in red and white stripes. As for the eds again I say don't be so quirky about good natured banter and like Monty Python - " always look on the bright side of life" COYR's

{Ed001's Note - you posted abuse after abuse that had to be deleted. Nothing good natured about your foul mouth, though now you are trying to pretend to be a 'cheeky chappie' with a sense of humour. Shame you didn't seem to feel everybody had a right to their opinion when you were claiming to be better than everyone else because you were lucky enough to be able to go to games. Good natured banter is something you clearly have no idea about, nor the word quirky. As for always looking on the bright side of life, it is that attitude which has led to QPR finding themselves where they are. No one improves on their weaknesses if all they ever get is praise about their strengths.}

Ed 0001 as you know there are so called supporters out there that we don't need . My guess is when the VE 70th celebration programme was on this morning they turned it off and went on their play station.

{Ed001's Note - to be fair, I don't think he is a child at all. I just don't think he understands what is banter and what is nastiness. A lot of the older generation have a different idea of what is ok to say, Alf Garnett like.}
