Just heard we have put in a bid for Andros Townsend! I for one would love him to sign. Thoughts?

Anyone who dosnt believe this, SSN reported it

Lets hope so, that would pave the way for Morgan Schniedelin to go the other way as an exchange (not a sale) so therefore saving face for the Board. As long as we get say £10 million plus Andros Townsend I think that would be a deal!

Why do you want schniderlin to go he's the best player we have got, just forget it and move on


4.) 17 Aug 2014
Would be quality and 10m is a good fee. it will never be a player swap. spider stays.


5.) 17 Aug 2014
Spuds won't let Townsend go and if they do they will use it to get spider. We have enough in midfield with victor and cork . If we could swap and get the 10 million also makes good sense

Spider has to stay. Should have been captain but fonte deservedly got it after spiders outburst. People slate fonte but he is quality and very commanding at the back. He makes mistakes as does everyone but those that think he's not good enough for the first team need to watch him at fame at St Marys watch his moment off the ball his commanding and organising of the back 4. Spider is irreplaceable at the back. Cork is good cover for him. Similar players in my opinion and wanyama is a brick wall.

Fonte was excellent today

amazing game what a start to the season last third link up and right wing + 1 solid defender we are in the mix very impressed the potential with jelling.
some great steps up from the younger guys amazing job Ron! only + going forward guys law of attraction should give us great clout in the last few weeks of the transfer window!

Plus what's the deal on Bertram great game! long shows promise and tadic was a handfull if we can link up pelle. . .

I thought JWP was quality at times but also lacked a bit of strength and wasn't quite the full ticket. Showed a lot of potential today


11.) 17 Aug 2014
JWP seriously lacked confidence in shooting I thought but good build up play.


12.) 17 Aug 2014
Full of confidence for the season. Get 2 that Rk wants and we are there! Spider has to stay! A draw was a fair result today but this game isn't always fair!


13.) 17 Aug 2014
I felt Tadic and JWP stood out. Both had great games. And Morgan too


14.) 17 Aug 2014
3 words Amaaaaziing. proud. unlucky.
Top 4 performance immensely proud.


15.) 17 Aug 2014
Spidy to me looked like he didn't want to be here, last season hw wouldn't off missed the henderson tackle that led to first, really do need a organising calming cb though and some pace on the wing, jury will be out on pelle for a good 10 games looked bit lost but its a massive jump into epl all in all reasonably happy but same story as last year. . if only those chances

Well proud to be a saint today - didn't deserve 0 points! Wanyama was excellent, Spiders passing was spot on. (and the crossbar was 1mm to low)! Tadic skimmed Lovren to get the assist. Fonte looked assured, Clyne looked like he should have gone to Brazil, Pelle was nails. Boys, well chuffed - made Liverhampton to look standard and away from home. Well proud!! good times ahead :)


17.) 17 Aug 2014
Defo needed done more width on the right. Townsend would fit perfectly IMO Shame we had a poor 45 mins as we could have got points from that game

Not sure how we lost that game, we were by far and away the better team. Yoshida not quite good enough but thought Tadic, Clyne, Wanyama were outstanding. Heard when asked about Schneiderlin staying Koeman said " we hope so " which sounds like possibly not. Heard about the Townsend rumour, he's good but get's a lot of injuries and we have a thin squad. He is worth having though if he stays fit. Pelle looked a bit like a fish out of water today and crying out for someone that can play off him. Looking forward to next Saturday, that's when we really can tell what we've got. Liverpool were very lucky today but they scored 2 and we didn't.


19.) 17 Aug 2014
If Spider doesn't go now he'll go at the end of the season. We're in transition now so let him go and give Corky the game time. JC's a perfect replacement and if he's getting time. on the pitch he'll want to stay.


20.) 17 Aug 2014
Possibility Townsend could come to saints as we now poch hates wingers,


21.) 17 Aug 2014
Townsend is a decent player but I still think we can do better: konoplyanka for one


22.) 17 Aug 2014
Tonsend is greedy spurs fans don't rate him and want him gone!


23.) 17 Aug 2014
Townsend bid rejected. And I don't care wot anyone else says wanyama was the best player in a saints shirt for me today, more of that big vic!


24.) 17 Aug 2014
First up top performance and I think we were all a little nervous with how we would perform with all the changes. Yes no points but a lot of my mates who are Liverpool fans were full of praise of the saints.
Bertrand was quality and tadic will when settled in prove a more then able replacement to Lallana. Spider was top notch and victor was as good as I have seen him in saints colours. Yes we need the new centre half to get fit but also I really really think Fonte stepped up to captains role and looked amazing - a performance I wasn't sure was in him so I'll back off him!! Forester though not really worked looked a monster so after all the change and with perhaps a player or two more joining I'm starting to think we could be top ten again. Fair play Koeman in u we trust


25.) 18 Aug 2014
Let us not forget that Spider has only been training for 1 week, unlike the others, but he still played well even if not match fit!


26.) 18 Aug 2014
Big Vic was superb today. Spider though was excellent and I think we have some home grown talent that are as good as Townsend rather than a swap deal if that is on the cards. Would rather spend the cash on a top notch central defender to play alongside Fonte.
Great second half performance by the team after a shakey first 45. If we had taken the two chances we would have come away as deserved winners.


27.) 18 Aug 2014
Wanyama was a different player, 100 times better on the ball and was actually completing passes. I think he will show why we payed that money for him this season


28.) 18 Aug 2014
Really agree with the Wanyama comments here. I was a fierce critic of his last season. He didn't adjust to the PL and was a liability at times. We looked better with Cork in the side than Big Vic. Yesterday though he was an absolute rock. If that is a taste of things to come he will be vital for us this season


29.) 18 Aug 2014
Gardos will start next to fonte.
