Eds do you think we will sack puel and get Marco silva and also do you think we will go and get sigurdson in the summer?

SaintOli

{Ed002's Note - Claude Puel is a very good manager but he is not happy with how he is being treated - but I cannot see why Southampton would look to sack him. I would think Gylfi Sigurdsson will have plenty of options in the summer and I would not hold your breath over a Southampton move.}

I think if we give him time he could be the best we've ever had. I'd like to see him given another season and see where we are at (or at least until january) with a full preseason and a fit squad he could make us a real force. There's no guarantee a change would be any better. We've got another top ten finish, a cup final we were unlucky to lose. yes our style of play hasn't been the greatest, our home form disappointing, and I hoped from more in Europe. but it has been far from plain sailing. playing twice a week, lots of injuries, the fonte situation, van dijk being injured killed us, and we didn't make the right signings at the right time.
However, I actually think he'll go. Like eds said, the fans are on his back a bit, not sure if he's settled that well. but he's brought through a lot of youth, with 2-3 more signings and cut a bit of the dead wood we could certainly challenge top 6 next year. but only if we keep our best players.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Puel. Think his 'communication' skills are an easy excuse for the Board to hide their share of the blame. Didn't the Black Box highlight his style of possession play plus Redmond openly says he argues with Puel on the training ground (don't know why Bertrand has looked so grumpy lately though) . It looks as though he is going but I really can't believe this can be seen as anything but a failure on Les's side and he doesn't have a track record of holding his hand up does he.

Eds do you expect us to sign a centre back and if so who? Also what's the latest on Sahko?

SaintOli

{Ed002's Note - The club would like to. Nothing has changed with Sakho - the interested sides want a loan; Liverpool want a sale.}

Eds do you expect us to have a busy transfer window and is there a chance of re signing schniderlin? also do you expect us to sign a striker? Heard berahino is on a free now could be a good buy.

SaintOli

{Ed002's Note - "Busy" is subjective. Soton has shown no interest in Schniderlin - but he is available. It depends on how they feel about JR. Berahino is free when his contract runs out - not in January.}

EDS any Chance of Jason denayer from city?

SaintOli

{Ed001's Note - last I heard he was going to be kept as Pep wanted to have a good look at him in training and use him in cup matches. Whether that has changed now he has had a good look at him in training or not, I haven't heard sorry. Loan might be a possibility though I would think.}

Heard something about Malli from Mainz can the EDS shed any light on this rumour?

SaintOli

{Ed002's Note - Mainz had no interest in selling Yunus Malli in January but are aware that Bayern Munich, Spurs, Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray have all looked at the player. For the summer, Malli is the sort of player who I thought Klopp may have Liverpool scouts look at, particularly given that he knows the player well - but he has not done so. An ex-German international tells me he is getting better and better and would suit the English game. He is also the sort of player that a club like Arsenal may look to if they are planning Central or Attacking Midfield changes but it is Spurs who have continued to show interest in the player in to the new season.}

Eds I heard rumours puel wants to back to France at the end of the season (thank god) any truth in this?

SaintOli

{Ed002's Note - An Arsenal scout tells me that Puel (who is a bit of a miserable sod but is a good coach) is not happy with his treatment from the fans and he suspects a change of ownership would end his tenure in any case.}


1.) 03 May 2017 12:03:06
Surely a professional of Puel's standing would rise above the heckling of a few fans? He must have at least learnt THAT from his mentor.

Potential takeover notwithstanding, Puel is a good option going forward, albeit that the quality of the football hasn't been up to much this season.

He'll a full pre-season, no doubt some more of his own signings, and he'll work with the academy. There is no Europe next year, so no need to rotate, and a settled squad well-drilled in his philosophy.

Even if the club is mostly or completely sold during the summer, it would be foolish for any new investor to rock the boat too much too early.

And can we stop talking about shady Chinese businessmen asset-stripping the club? You have no idea how fukcing naive you sound.


2.) 03 May 2017 15:56:22
I didn't know that he was a miserable sod, I just thought that he was being French.


 

 

15 Jan 2017 15:10:25
Eds do you think we'll sign Sahko and a goalscorer?

SaintOli

{Ed002's Note - I am not so sure about Sakho.}


 

 

03 Jan 2017 22:23:57
Eds how many signings do you expect us to make and who do you think we might sign?

SaintOli

{Ed002's Note - I cannot sensibly anser questions about numbers of signings Oli.}


1.) 04 Jan 2017 13:30:57
Just one name, something to hang onto please pls pls.

{Ed002's Note - Gabbiadini.}


2.) 04 Jan 2017 16:15:42
Someone like Gabbiadini is exactly what we need, please spend the money saints.

EDS do you think we'll sign a quality striker before the deadline?

SaintOli

{Ed041's Note - no


1.) 31 Aug 2016 17:59:50
Hopefully you know nothing.

{Ed041's Note - I hope so, for you.

Sorry EDS I was talking about Rubén semedo the centre back from sporting Lisbon and also do you think we'll sign another striker?

SaintOli

{Ed002's Note - My notes say that Ronald Koeman spoke personally to the "agent" of Ruben Semedo, Tony Araujo, but did not speak to Sporting at the time. My assumption is the interest left with him.}

How a striker isn't a priority I'll never know considering we've lost 22 goals from last season.

EDS that would be very naive in my opinion Rodriguez Austin and long aren't enough I don't get how Rodriguez will supposedly replace pelle because he scored one goal that any half decent keeper would have saved.
