Can any of the ed's share their opinion on if this takeover will happen or not? It just doesn't seem right to me.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know anything regarding it. It seems to be based on conjecture, due to Cortese leaving, but it is difficult to be sure as the parties would be bound by NDAs.}

We really need a winger, I reckon we would of got piatti if he didn't get injured.

I think that rodriguez will without doubt be our top goal scorer this year, when he's firing on all cylinders he's unplayable!
1.) His finishing may not be the best around, but he works hard, gets into the right places and has a great ability to move the ball past defenders. Top player.
2.) All those who think JRod is better value, try's harder, gives more to the team than Ossie, pat on the back.
All those who think Ossie will be a Saints legend make a doctors appointment urgently you need medication.
3.) I have heard his finishing in training is amazing. I suspect we have a "confidence" player here, who is suddenly going to show a completely different gear.

If anybody can inform me for why wanyama is getting stick for thr chelsea game then please do so. Was just as good as morgan.
1.) Haters goda hate someone, who else they going to pick on? I don't think players enjoy playing against him either.
When he picks up this yellow card we will have a chance to look at what they are all wishing for.
2.) Wanyama made some very poor passes in the first 10 minutes (and we were winning). One header, the ball just bounced off his head, absolutely no attempt to guide it in any direction other than forward despite having time. He stood like a statue for a large part of the game whilst others all around him were running. On a few occasions I saw other saints players run into him. His movement was non existent. I honestly don't know if he can run.
Seriously I have watched or been to only half Saints games this season and I know Poch must like him but I can't see why?
He's a big lump and that's it.
Pressing game? He just stands there and hopes people run into him. I honestly don't get him. Really I dont
3.) Wanyama sits in front of the defence, and does extremly well at it. The amount of opposition play he breaks up is amazing. I agree his ball distribution is awful, but at protecting the defence he is amazing. It seems to me that he tries to make every pass seem over elaborate, rather than taking the simple route, which if he can change, he could be a very valuable asset.
4.) Really can't understand the confusion re. Victor. He does his role well-to beak up play and if he keeps his distribution simple he is very effective. It really is not rocket science, I have heard under 11 coaches telling new defensive players when they join a team of established, quality players "your job is to win the ball and then pass it simply. " If they stick to this initially, they integrate quickly into the team. If the adrenalin gets to them they get a bit over ambitious and make mistakes and the coach has to calm them down and remind them what their responsibility is. Just because Victor is professional and cost a few quid I don't believe this changes the reality of a young, inexperienced player integrating into a quality team and a league way above what he is used to.

5.) 1)He has the second highest number for completed passes in the squad just behind Morgan who is exceptional after all.
2)If you attempt more passes than anyone else in the team you will prob have more passes going astray than most other players.
3)His job is not to run around like a wing back his job is to protect the back four and also let Morgan attack, he is a CDM and there to break up the other teams play. His job is to not be found too far out of his position at any time.
4)He is new to the BPL and he is young.
5)He has made more successful tackles in the middle third of the pitch than any other player in Europes top 5 leagues.
6)If you look at the job he is being asked to do by MoPo (CDM) there is no one better at doing it in our squad except 'perhaps' Morgan and we can't clone him.
7)I think he has simplified his passing and he is getting better and better.
8)There is no question that he has contributed towards our defensive record, and was one of many reasons Chelski resorted to the long ball tactics.
9)If you are expecting him to play any role other than a CDM I can see why you think he is not good enough, but we play with a CDM and he is the best player we have for that role and that is just some of what MoPo sees in him.
6.) To all the people that say he can't run, I remember when we played fulham, and the corner was cleared and on the counter-attack, victor was in the striker position bombing down there.
7.) He's a donkey, his movement is atrocious, pathetic, non existent.
No point writing loads of tosh about shielding the defence he's just a big lump. Chelsea just run past him.
His positional sense ridiculous.
8.) He ran against Fulham, the oldest, slowest team/squad in the league. My grandma is quicker than Fulham's team.
I know let's make lots of reasons why we think Victor is brilliant, like he breaks up play so we don't need to worry about his passing, lack of movement, awareness, clumsiness in tackling. He can't tackle cleanly!
Mark my words he's going to be a problem as the season goes on.
Poch loves him, that's clear but fast skilful players will just run around the big lump.
Mark my words.
9.) I've heard a rumour that we're thinking of swapping Victor for a sleeping policeman.
They slow things down, give away less fouls and their passing and movement can't be any worse than Vic's
10.) Perhaps it would be better if we went bankrupt again, and had to sell all our players like Gaston, Osvaldo, Boruc, Wanyama, etc etc.
We would finally have no more primadona's, and could fill the side with whatever players we could beg borrow or steal.
11.) He can't be that bad if he is keeping jack out of the squad.
12.) What's bankruptcy got to do with Wanyama being a statue?
More excuses, wonder what's next?
The moon was aligned with Venus so Vic's radar was off, or his boots were made of the wrong type of leather, or his pasta was too cold before the game, but he's improving with every game. No he isn't!
13.) How come we´re doing so well then?
14.) 10 other players on the pitch?
15.) The Wanyama slagger has got to be a fishing troll here on a wind up.
Best ignored by all.

Can't believe people on here saying we didn't create chances, we created so many, jaaskelainen (if that's how you spell it) reminded me of mccarthy keeping against liverpool today. Let's put cork back in the squad though
1.) Wanyama was tosh yesterday why cork isn't even getting a look in I don't know? And all our attacking players need a kick up the ass!
2.) Thought Wanyama played better as the game went on after giving ball away early on. Think we need to be patient with our new players /team and see how we are doing after 19 games, last season 18 points at halfway point
, think we could get a few more this season around 24?
Trev the welding saint
3.) I think Cork gives us added flair going forward. Whilst Wanyama is a rock defensively he offers very little in terms of being the link between defence and midfield, as such we have resorted to long balls. For me Morgan and Wanyama are too similar and we need to have cork in the side. Wanyama and Morgan may be ok if we are playing away or trying to hold onto a game, but not if we are going out to win a a game.

Great, apparently the media have all gone home because our window is finished. Leaving us with 2 wingers, guly and adam, we also need more pace and lack creativity. I hope this isn't going to be a long season
01 Sep 2013 23:21:37
Have to say I was happy about bale thanking us for making him a big money move and a great player.
16 Apr 2015 19:09:32
Toby we will definitely miss the most I reckon, I actually feel Wanyama has grown so much this year and has outplayed Morgan in many games, but Morgan is going to be a huge miss. Watched an interview with Lallana on youtube and when asked who was the best player he has ever played with he said Morg, bearing in mind he could of picked Liverpool players. Cannot begrudge Morgan a move this year if he does go. He deserves CL.

I honestly don't rate hernandez, cannot see him fitting into the system we play, too lazy to play winger.
In response to london saint, wd can push for top 8 without an expansion, I don't see why the expansion would stop us
If Courtois was what you are making him out to be, he would be recalled and started over cech. He wouldn't be on loan if he was that good.
There is no way courtois is one of the best in the world, Luke seems to mature and humble to join a moneybag club like you.

Ryan has had a great season and is fully deserved, however, I can't help but laugh at how coutinho has got in there, even tadic has as many goals and more assists. That is saying something as he has been dire for half the season. Don't know how either Fonte or Alderweireld didn't get in the team, but hey ho!
12 Apr 2015 11:32:44
I believe he left clyne out of the team to show that we can do it without him and that he can leave if he doesn't want to be here
I reckon in a couple of years mayuka will be a good partner with gallagher. I think if mayuka does go on loan, it should be to a championship side to ruff him up a bit.
Lovren missed arsenal but I agree about lallana
Osvaldo has 3 goals in a gametime which only adds up to 6 and a half full games, he's very good technically showing today with that strike aswell
