Thought we weren't going to rush in and panic sign players well y does the Bertrand deal feel like that's exactly what we've done as this guy is average at best hence y mourinho played a right back in his place at left back all season not the type of signing I was looking for a bit worried

Have your no knowledge of Targett??

What do you expect? Perhaps we should sign a world class left back just to make certain that Targett never gets his chance, now that Shaw has gone? What is the point of our academy then?

I am really worried about the state of the NHS in Hampshire. All the happy pills must be going somewhere else.

Well then y sign Bertrand at all if we're going to play targett because he's clearly not as good as Shaw was seeing as Shaw was thrown in at the deep end and y were we playing a rb at the Times when Shaw got injured last year if this targetts so good

Shaw was thrown in the deep end when Targett was out and we all know the Fox situation. Shaw was the only possibly replacement at the right time and played well so stuck.

Shaw and Targett were both coming through the system and one got injured. The other continued to show promise and was given his chance in the first team. Apart from initial problems with cramp he played well and stuck. Of course an injury to Targett sets his development back a little, but now he can continue to progress.

Oh well, I suppose we should have gone and bought that fat kid from Utd! We have the money, so why not!

Maybe when we bring in the best part of £100,000,000 and no there is not too many zeros there and us as fans get told it's all going to b reinvested as well as the original transfer budget koeman was given we should expect signings not loans and pretty decent signings as well or maybe we should roll over and let another owner take advantage of our youth system and rake the money in while keeping fans like yourself with no ambition happy with average loans and signings to accommodate the decent players leaving. Ok sorry I'll roll over and watch it all happen again
NOT FOR 1 SECOND WILL I!!

Suggest you untwist them dantheman and explain why Saints should spend money on a LB when we have a lad in that position who is suggested will be as good, if not better than Shaw? Plus, if Rojo is signed he can, and does, play LB.

I would much prefer the funds (and they are NOT £100m) to be spent on players to fill other positions where the need is greater. We are not playing in Europe so do not need to sign players for every position as if we are.

Bertrand is likely to cost £10m and you want to sign someone better! Why?

"Our youth system" is vastly subsidised by the owners money so don't start talking about ambition as if it is totally separate to how much she is willing (OR ABLE-FFP) to spend. Equally, "our" youth system will cease to function if players like Targett are blocked out of the 1st team.

Shaw-decent player left. Targett-decent player still with us. A loan for this position is no accommodation.

Your memory obviously isn't that great dan, Mourinho also played a RB infront of Ashley Cole. And wasn't Bertrand at Villa for the last half of the season?

3 signings are ameant to be signed soon, don't really get your problem with signing a quality proven player like Bertrand, everyone seems to overate big money foreign imports and forget which signings have been more successful? J Rod, Clyne and Davis or Osvaldo, Ramirez, Lovren, Wanyama, Yoshida. I'd say out of them Lovren and Wanyama have been good signings for us and that all 3 English players have been successful
