I know a lot of the players we have been linked to are likely to be completely fabricated by the press, but I'm pretty happy by the quality of players we've been linked, Kjaer, Moreno, Soares, Song, Classie, Austin, Berahino, Remy, Odengard. last year half the people we were linked to I'd never even heard of!

Why would Nat Clyne want to move to Liverpool beats me
They have been living on past glories for years now
Clyne should stick with the SAINTS as we are a club on the up now

1.) They pay more.
2.) They regularly challenge for trophies.
3.) They're a bigger club.

Liverpool have been dining out on their 1980s success for too long, but in the meantime, they've won the Champions League, a couple of FA Cups, the League Cup, and regularly finished in the top four.

We may not like it, but the reality is, they're a step up from Southampton and in all likelihood will again finish above us next season. If that's who Clyne chooses to join, so be it, move on. There's no point in deluding ourselves that Saints are higher in the footballing pecking order than they actually are.

The only counter argument we can really make at this time is we're a club riding a serious wave of ambition and consistency, both of which will be tested during this summer and the coming season. It's an incredibly exciting time to be a Saints supporter, but we've got a heck of a long way to go before we've consolidated ourselves and turned the top 6 into a top 7!

It makes me laugh all these saints fans assuming that we will defiantly qualify for the Europe league has any one seen the teams we might have to play borussia dortmund being one of them others include bordeax dynamo Moscow az alkmar vitess arnhem and standard liege there's a Spanish team I can't remember in there too

Mate I wouldn't even bother I was saying the same type thing if we don't get things sorted with transfers we will be in qualifiers with a unsettled squad witch will make things even harder.but let's just see wot unfolds in the next 5-6 weeks after all every saints fan wants wot is best for our team

We enter in the 3rd quali round though, so we've only got to beat one team to get into the group stages, we could get someone like POAK or Dortmund but you never know, we could get someone like Inverness or St Johnstone, it depends whether we're seeded or not, if we're seeded we'll be playing one of the 'easier' unseeded teams rather than the big clubs

Agree0 Disagree1

09 Jun 2015 17:51:49
Wrong we go into 3rd round 2 legged tie then a 2 legged qualifying game where champions league drop outs are put in hat before the group stages

Agree3 Disagree0

09 Jun 2015 18:27:03
Agreed it's not a guaranteed thing by any means and we definitely do need to get the appropriate players in, but pre-season is still a month or so away, so that gives Saints four weeks yet to make some pre-agreements, as players can't be officially registered until July 1st.

You are all wrong!!
Do you not read these posts re the Europa league?
Who we will play is down to a seeding system whereby we will probably miss the other BIG clubs so to speak. And anyway if we were to play any one of them do you all think we are going to get beat??
What Friggin brilliant fantastic Saints fans you are.
Don't darken my mood again - idiots

We are a seeded team.

As has prob been posted before, here's a link which better explains the process.

No last time we were asking if we were seeded we were referring to other Europe website that didn't even have us on the list and west ham we're. There anyway people wanna start calling people idiots like some computer warrior because they ain't deluded enough to think we are one of the best in Europe

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jun 2015 21:38:36
As above we may be seeded for 3rd round but depending what teams drop out of cl qualifying we may not for 4th round hence why people have said be could get drawn against a big team and may not make group stage

I know it is probably hard for you but try being positive.

Fastest growing brand in world football! Not bad for a club in league 1 a few years ago, surprised that we're above the likes of Ajax and Inter!

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

I see Sly sports are running out of things to stir up so they have gone back to the Toby Ald story.
Shame they haven't got any new quotes as his soundbite on their site this morning is something along the lines of "the season is not over yet, after the last game i'll know more"
Goes to show how much the media are stirring the pot at the moment and how little activity there is to actually report.

They ain't got nothing to report because we ain't sold no one so no one will be bought till then
