I love the saints, but why would we need to play a friendly to sweeten a deal ? , no disrespect to southamton, but we dont need to go and play teams like ajax to sweeten a deal. ajax fans arnt thinking "omg, yes we have southampton in a friendly". if we were a small leauge 2 or conference team and had a good player that a big club wanted. we may ask for a friendly to sweeten a deal. so some people need to get real when they say that is what we do..
we buy players for cash

It's simply playing top opposition as good preparation for a tough season. It is a statement of how different things will be this time in the Premier League. We mean business to grow and fight for European places, not to fight relegation.

This is why i hate this time of year so many people we could get so many players we wont, but we just don't know until we have got them like jay rod we should have him and that is like the only person we are sure on. Its brilliant being a saints fan

I might be putting 2 and 2 together abd getting 5 but why are we playing Bristol and Wolves. Could this be some sort of deal with Adomah and Jarvis?

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Yeah, and if Stoke play Barcelona, they'll be lining up Messi for Delap.

Agree4 Disagree1

Who are we buying from Ajax then, or selling!

Agree1 Disagree0

Hardly jarvis and adomah are realistick transfers. As well as dani benetez who plays with udinease has been linked with us aswell. Aaron martin was bought on the basis that we play friendlies with eastliegh so it could be a way of forming a relationship wiyh a club .

Southampton per season games to be against wolves, Ajax, udinease, and Bristol city. Could be a means of developing a relationship with cubs as I've heard rumers to buy 1 from each club.

Danny Benitez from udinease, matt Jarvis from wolves and Adomah from Bristol.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

We'll take eriksen from ajax while your at it

Agree2 Disagree1

Were playing these clubs only as a game. how many people have friendlys to build a relationship ? get real, its a 1 off game .. if we had eastleigh in a game, dont mean were after there players

Agree2 Disagree0

All the rumers say differently don't come onto a rumers website if you don't want to hear rumers. You can't deny that it doesn't happen as it clearly does. Even if they dont want to,form a relationship Adkins could see how the players perform against our own side {Ed014's Note - There is a friendly with Rangers as well.Some Southampton players could go up to the SPL and get used to playing in games with a chance of winning and top flight experience.It could be profitable to both sides in their situations.

Gutted Aaron Martin has been sent out on loan, he has the potential to be a top class defender and we are really short of centre backs, best place to gain experience is with saints not a dodgy crystal palace side, hope its not a prelude to his being sold as he has great potential and only 22.Anyone thinks Upson is a good replacement please visit your nearest specsavers.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Yes he is a great prospect, Adkins & Co know what they are doing, trust them! Aaron Martin is young and needs loads of games, Cystal Palace are well organised and will give him the experience that he needs. We will be looking at another CB for sure, take a chill pill and watch the master plan unfold.

Agree7 Disagree1

Why waste money on expensive imports when we have a cb that would flourish in the prem,if we bring in too many signings then the team will be disrupted and i thought saints policy was too bring thru our youth and as aaron is a local lad then he fits that bill exactly, i see this as a missed oppurtunity.
