Who does everyone think we will sign, i'd like maybe some cover for shaw and clyne, another cdm and personally would like to see a pacey winger, scott sinclair maybe?

Would love Sinclair to sign, exactly what we need, I agree with those positions although I hope we also get a new CB, as I can see one leaving probs Hoiveld, it's gunna be hard to sign good enough cover, who's willing to be understudy to a 17 year old though :/

I think we'll be busy, sounds like we can expect a lot of departures so we will need to have plenty of additions too. Hope to see cover for all parts of the field come in ideally so we have plenty of options to play around with if injuries occur or we have poor games so we can give new people a try.

I think there isn't many cbs we could sign which is the problem, i'd love to see somebody with prem experience but they're all on massive wages now
Agree0

We just need a very good defender, Premiership experience isn't going to be the most important thing for them as the tactics we use are more important to get to grips with they just need to be sharp and have good stamina, so players like Dejan Lovren would be quality signings.

It looks like we're still top of the fair play prem league table, not sure how after that but oh well

Because the Premier league has loads of cheaters in it.
Agree0

Ah, our two reds this weekend will have put paid to that! Also England are fourth in Europe, and only teams from the top three fair play nations can submit a team. It's Norway and Finland at the moment (I think)

Lets hope we never see Danny Fox in a saints shirt again! Also i'm running out of pateince with Gaston, 12 mill? avin a laff mate

Gaston has had a hard year, I honestly think he needs the summer off to get his head straight and ready for next season. Nobody would be playing 100% with his personal life issues.
Agree0

Southampton fans seemingly possessed, Saint Gaston and Saint Daniel, also seemingly possessed, sent off by ref MADley and a home record which now stands at 6-6-6. There's only one bugger i'm blaming for yesterday's mini apocalypse!
Agree0
Disagree0
I have also been a bit fed up with Gaston, but I think that Pochettino will mentor him well and make sure he performs more consistently next season

Shocking performance. Worst I've seen this season. Had no answers to Lukaku or how to break down their defence. Or midfield! Fox has had another shocker and needs to go. Hooiveld skinned for pace and caught out of position as usual.
Still think we're safe but very disappointing performance today.

Fox and Hooiveld- good championship players, but get caught out far too often at this level. Hooiveld has no pace but a top defender can work around that but it seems he can't. As for fox I thought all he was could for was crossing and he was shocking at that yesterday as well. Last two games I have gone to have been a shambles Sunderland and West Brom, 0-1 and 0-3 loss. It has been obvious from day one that they are our weak links, shame Shaw wasn't fit but surely MP can see Fonte is a better player than Hooiveld, hopefully he will next game anyway fingers crossed.

Does amaze me that MP puts Hooiveld in ahead of Fonte. Reads game better and far more composed on the ball playing out from the back which is the very thing MP is trying to do.
Agree0

Hooiveld has done well you fight back into the team my only only question is what has happened with forren
Agree0
Disagree0
Forren is not ready yet, he's had a bit of a knee problem since coming to St Mary's and as such hasn't worked his way into having good enough Chemistry with the other defenders yet to create a Premier standard partnership.
Agree0
Disagree0
Hooiveld hasn't done well. Constantly concedes free kicks, penalties, scored 2 own goals and costing us way too much at the back.
Agree0
Disagree0
I think fonte is still carrying a small knock. I agree though, need him for the short run in. Getting to close for comfort, particularly with spurs drawing against Wigan. They'll come at us hard!
