i have just started on here and would like to say there are some very good positive fans on here but also some with huge ideas of grandeur the season just gone has been one of the best in the clubs history and getting to europe was a tremendous feat but when people start saying we should have got ings toby should already be signed song would be a good signing etc etc if you look at it from a money point of view look no further than sako at wolves and see what clubs like saints have to deal with a player unproven in the prem and not that good at wolves is looking for 60k a week to join a prem club and if you look at the hit we have to take on gaston and osvaldo there will not be lots of money to go around I think if you look at eds comments you will get the best answers on who we might be able to afford currently we have a good squad a great manager and probably the best run club in the prem whoever we get is sure to be good so enjoy the summer don't panic and get ready for europe

We pay osvaldo 60 a week and gaston 70 a week there both better players than sako and could help in European competition I agree osvaldo is a prick and gaston hasn't shown any of his quality but our board will rather loan out and as ed has said its unlikely we would even be able to sell osvaldo to a good team .but these positive fans u talk of think it is possible we can pay 100g a week for song lol not going to happen and again I've heard on here clyne will sign again no he ain't were going to replace with Cedric most likely at half the price we sell clyne so when schniederlin gets sold we will again sing another player at half the price.people also sit here and try compare jwp with the likes of barkley there is a gulf in the difference in talent.positive is all good but come on be realistic who will boost our overall quality from our youth acadamy at the min.and we had a thin squad last season but hang on before we can buy we must sell and that just reduces the overall quality of our team .and as most fans I speak to already believe we will have trouble if we qualify for Europe and I agree but in a couple of weeks we will see if our board even won't to be in europe at this moment in time we would be better concentrate on the league.and not get ahead of ourselves look at every team that compeats in europe apart from swansea who managed to keep themselves competitive in all comps Newcastle everton just to name two and they both can pay bigger money to get better quality than they had we do it the other way around sell the best in the team and get someone else in and to be fare if it wasn't for koeman we wouldn't even of had tadic and pelle.look at our other signings.de ridder, mayuka, forren just to name a couple but I hear time and time again osvaldo is crap send him on loan gaston is the same send him out to .ain't anyone sat and thought for a second of how these players got were they were before we brought them talent that how but ill say it again its becuase cortese had a hand in signing them so they won't rid.steve bruce kept playing gaston and every team that has loan osvaldo has played him to i'm pretty sure if they were crap and not worth it they would not be played even ben arfer steve bruce sent straight back and I can remember Newcastle got some good play from him including running nearly the hole pitch and scoring a good goal.but anyway let's just be positive just to please certain fans

i agree with what you have written but I was saying that if you look at players like sako rhodes afobe players like this it could cost the clubs in the prem 60g on wages over a 5 yr contract with agent fees signing on fee and bonuses it is a 2o million plus deal for a player who has never played premership football that is how money orientated football has become players like clyne lovren shaw lallana etc did not leave saints for career gain they left for money gain and that's why the top five in the premership will never ever change

Agree big cole
Money ruins most people and things we enjoy the days of the matt le tiss are long gone .with clyne we can't really blame the club they have probably offerd the best they are willing to pay and schniederlin has been a good servant up to the end of last season so should be off with good wishes.but the rest don't even deserve respect.
Wot really kills it for me is these players don't won't to try and make the team successful and become one of the best they would rather jump ship for success and let's face it since when did 30thousand a week become a bad earning that would be over hundred thousand a month u could buy a new house every two months us fans or most fans could only dream of such a life they get .but they go chaseing more and more just makes it a joke when they use the excuse of Champions League as the reason they move if anything it should say to us fans.WE AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH OR BELIVE IN OR TALENT ENOUGH TO STICK AROUND
