I strongly doubt we will sign Austin they don't see attacking players as a need right now we have got enough going forward. The performance last night was disappointing but we are missing Clasie and it will be tough to judge this team until that point. I agree about a CB but VVD is not the answer I have seen him a few times now and all I see is a massive liability, when he goes in his runs he never gets back and we will get torn apart in the PL I can't remember who said it but I agreed he is a poor mans David luiz. Also in regards to the striker I have been impressed when long has come on and actually been able to play the central role not on the wing.

Long time reader first time poster as they. I have read this site for about a year and have seen some just crazy things go on this site. Last year it was the treatment of one of the eds when actually everything he said was true. And this year it is the constant questioning of the board, in the last year I am not sure I see a bad decision.
Every time we have sold a player we have gotten top dollar no one can say Adam/Luke/Dejan/Rickie are worth the price tags we sold them for. This year with Clyne it was difficult because of contract situation but again another player who didn't want to stay. While I don't like it, if a player makes it clear he wants to leave what do you do make him stay there and rot when you can bring in a player who wants to be here.
We cannot stop other clubs taking an interest in our players it always going to happen, we are not as big a club yet as we like to think I am afraid. And we need to accept that players are going to jump ship if they get the opportunity can you blame them? As for Koeman leaving what a load of rubbish he knew what he was getting himself in for and as far as I can see has been backed by the board all the way when either recruiting as we have done more of this year or replacing like last year.
I don't like it as much as the next saints fan but the reality is the board have to do what is right for the club and what makes sense. As I said earlier why keep a player here when he doesn't want to be and you can find someone that does. I like our signings this year I really cannot fault the board they are young and hungry and will come good. Especially Steven Caulker he needs to be given a chance, I will admit he has not been great the last two seasons and made some poor choices about where to play football. But all you need to do is go back watch video of him at Yeovil at 17 he was the best player on the park you don't lose natural talent like that and Koeman is the man to bring the best out of him!
None of us should be worried about our start to the season, we are missing Clasie and when he comes back our midfield will look very strong with Romeu and Wanyama breaking up the play and Clasie linking what is a very strong forward line to the rest of them team. Another huge loss to this team is Bertrand that will help massively when he comes back really solidify our back 5. We need to show patience and not come out with stupid comments on message boards.
We are southampton we march on!
