I would debate the loyalty only coming from fans, we are a fickle bunch.
Healthy debate not slagging off.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

We use to be so outwardly positive when we were in the championship, strange that all the negative fans have showed up recently

Agree3 Disagree1

Cant always be positive, if you look at all the good bits you cant highlght the bad bits and learn from erors or mistakes. look at qpr last seasons pent big didnt work, this season spent big wont work. if we just say fox had a good game against city and that was a good defensive header in the circumstances the we wil get relegated, be realistic, you cant always be positive and so far this season there has been little to be positive about. 2 games - 2 losses. end of.

Gaston Ramirez deal will not happen maya has signed if ramirez was to sign it would of happened by now NC can not be in two places at once it all paper talk again if we want to sign a player it should be a defender

Believable2 Unbelievable7

The deal has been completed say Italian reporters for 18m together with Penarols cut included in that.

Agree1 Disagree2

Don't think he will sign. Are these the same Italian reporters that have said he's now going to Liverpool? If we were waiting on a medical I would've thought his loud mouth agent would've said something about it asap. Hopefully he does sign though, and everyone that matters has finally learned to keep these things hush hush. Will be great if the reports do turn out to be true.

Once again we are linked with Brazilian international Lewis Buxton from Sheffield Wednesday. Asking price is 3m which I believe is cheap for the white 'cafu'

Believable0 Unbelievable6

Lovely way of putting it to us. How good is he then. I watch plenty of football league games but I'm ashamed to say don't know too much of Sheffield Wednesday and their players.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is balls, to put the name cafu in the same sentence is a criminaloffence, how can you compare lewis buxton to cafu?

Agree0 Disagree0

I ve never heard of him is he good

Agree0 Disagree0

Also 1, he isnt brazilian hes english and an ex stoke player, 2 is 28 3, not a saints target 4, he is a utility defender not a RWB, 5, he isnt worth 3 million 6, he isnt an international, 7 he plays for sheffield wednesday. 8,9,10 - get ral and post on your own page!

Agree0 Disagree0

Ex skate says it all

I reckon we should go in for the Danish CB Simon Kjaer, looked solid in the Euro's when they had a tough group and he's very composed on the ball so would suit our style of playing from the back. Heard QPR have shown an interest in him aswell but as there signing about 20 CB's we could guarentee him 1st team football, should imagine he'd only cost around 5million aswell.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Who have QPR not shown an interest in ?

Anybody know the reason why De Ridder was kept out of the starting 11 against Stevenage? Is this because he's injured, or is it possibly because he's being shipped out? I heard a rumour on another rumour site that Saints were looking at offering a De Ridder plus cash deal for Matt Phillips!?

Aussie Saint

Believable0 Unbelievable2

De Ridder is injured. Adkins said so.

Agree3 Disagree0

Injured. Nothing serious but he has a bit of a knock.

Don't think he is prem quality. But I think de Ridder deserves a chance somewhere along the line. At least he seems happy to sit on the bench without complaining.

Adkins said he got kicked lol

Southampton have signed Zambia striker Emmanuel Mayuka from Young Boys Berne for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old has signed a five-year deal after passing a medical.
Mayuka scored 32 times in two seasons in Switzerland and was joint top scorer for Zambia when they won the 2012 African Nations Cup.
"Emmanuel is a lightning-quick striker who I am sure will excite the fans," Saints manager Nigel Adkins told the club's website.
Mayuka has been granted a work permit and Southampton are awaiting entry clearance for the deal to be fully ratified, which is expected to happen before the end of this week.
"He is only 21 years old but already has a great deal of experience, notably so at international level," added Adkins.
"He will bring something different to the group that we already have here at Southampton, and I look forward to seeing him pull on our shirt for the first time."
Adkins has also confirmed the club is continuing its attempts to sign Gaston Ramirez from Italian side Bologna.

Agree he will bring something different

livelong saints fan living in Japan and hearing from the boys that Yoshida is rock solid.... good in the air, quick and scores the odd goal ... well worth 2mln. Japanese players generally well organized just terrible finishers
