Apparently Juanmi is not happy and wants return to spain.

30 Jul 2015 23:20:53
Apparently Charlie Austin was in the stands tonight? Anyone know if this is true?

1.) 30 Jul 2015 23:57:37
Seems to not be any truth to this however both Koeman and Fonte were coy about further signings in their post match interviews.

2.) 31 Jul 2015 00:08:07
I think this came from someone seeing a car at st mary's with AUS in the number plate. Probably that of Claus Lundekvam in reality. Don't see us going in for another striker tbh

3.) 31 Jul 2015 00:18:23
Apparently based on two things: 1) Talksh1t supposedly spotted him in the crowd and 2) A car with number plate 'C15 AUS' parked in the car park.

No idea if its true this is just what my social media research has told me. Naysayers are claiming the plate belongs to Claus who might have been at the game tonight.

We were pretty good going forward tonight and still without JayRod, not sure if we need another striker but wouldn't ever say no to Austin coming in if it is true, he's quality.

4.) 31 Jul 2015 08:21:11
I'd like to see Hernandez come to us he'd be a real good signing works hard and pops up right time and place he wouldn't play every game but would like to see him with us

5.) 31 Jul 2015 11:04:16
I appreciate we have Jrod coming back but he is better out wide than through the middle. If we really want to challenge in the league, cups inc europe, we need to bring in another striker.

Additionally, Yoshida is a weak link and we need a replacement as Caulker is hopefully a cover option.

Still need to add another DM esp with Classie being injured.

Ed's any news on transfers or are we waiting to get into group stages before we sign anyone else?

6.) 31 Jul 2015 12:09:19
johnnewton: I also personally think we need another target man / striker and would love to have Charlie Austin although I'am realistic. With regards to clasie I don't see us signing another defensive mid as we have Reed, but defiantly need a top central defender to replace Toby.

I did like Fonte's interview after the game, he said about new signings and then had a massive grin on his face as if he really wanted to say we have an amazing signing coming! did anyone else notice?

7.) 31 Jul 2015 13:33:18
Just before the teams came out last night all the photographers were aiming at someone in the VIP box. could that have been Austin? I hope so as although Pelle looked lean and hungry last night he will tire like any player and so we need strength in depth.
Nice to see McCarthy on the bench.please give Tadic some crossing practice.

8.) 31 Jul 2015 17:16:29
It's was Caulker in the VIP.

9.) 31 Jul 2015 21:35:12
Hodgson the England manager was there that's probably why . Find it strange he was there as Targett was the only English player playing for us tonight . My last statement says it all about our transition and maybe soon we will become a mini Chelsea .

10.) 01 Aug 2015 13:38:48
Vitesse had more English players than Saints, Chris. Woy was probably watching them too. Chelsea loanees, I believe.

11.) 01 Aug 2015 20:10:29
Woy was probably scouting for Liverhampton

24 Jul 2015 14:26:32
Apparently we are linked to feyenoords Terrance kongoolo as cover, vvd has not proven him self at the highest level I heard rumours about Monaco's cb abdenour who is a great player

1.) 24 Jul 2015 20:52:00
Koeman will have last say on who's in or not so
Who ever comes in will be a seasoned centre back who will
Fill the role

2.) 25 Jul 2015 09:31:10
I'd love this to be true. Bags of potential.

First team to score 3 at Stamford bridge while mourinho has been in charge!

1.) 04 Oct 2015 10:55:35
great stuff, hopefully we can maintain our form for the Leicester game and then Liverhampton game, it would be great to get maximum points from these games

27 Sep 2015 16:53:48
Is it just me who thinks that james-ward-prowse has been playing great the last couple of matches (apart from west brom)

1.) 27 Sep 2015 21:19:39
With the ball yes. Without the ball it's like playing with 10 men.

2.) 28 Sep 2015 13:27:22
Needs to learn to win the ball back, if he doesn't have the tenacity to tackle then at least he should be honed to a carrick or pirlo type who also can't tackle but wins the ball through good positioning and reading of the game to make interceptions.

3.) 04 Oct 2015 14:26:24
He has likely been asked to not try win the wall back, keep in space and use him as an outsource once we have the ball back.

18 Aug 2015 15:15:08
Koulibaly has pace and power the two things we were lacking against Everton!

1.) 18 Aug 2015 22:01:18
There was a lot more lacking against Everton than one player will solve.

I don't think he's coming anyway. A lot of conflicting "stories". Van Dijk is still the number one target of the club.

2.) 19 Aug 2015 10:42:41
According to sky sports yesterday saints have not put in a bid for him yet

15 Aug 2015 21:37:48
Also I think tadic was awful today!

1.) 15 Aug 2015 21:41:42
As always

2.) 15 Aug 2015 22:43:13
The excuse everyone made for Tadic's frankly appalling form (and attitude) since November was that he was carrying an injury and bravely soldiering on like a champ. That's why he only "looked" like he was never trying.

Don't know what excuses people will come up with now to defend his sluggish, barely jogging, zero commitment disappearing act, as the man himself has been telling us all how fighting fit and ready for action he is.

To think, there was a time (for about five minutes) when some of us actually referred to him as an upgrade on Lallana. He's not even an upgrade on Ramirez. A disinterested passenger just passing through until some other sucker offers him a hefty payday.

He wouldn't have gotten in Pochettino's Saints with that lack of work rate and effort. But I'm sure Koeman will again indulge him for months on end and the side will have to get used to playing with 10 men every week.

I can put up with crap players - we've certainly had our fair share at Saints over the years - and even quite enjoy the cult status some are afforded, but I just cannot abide footballers who quite obviously couldn't give two shits.

3.) 16 Aug 2015 09:28:14
Jesus Christ, one bad result and it's the end of the world. Get a grip

4.) 16 Aug 2015 18:57:12
We were taught a painful football lesson, like we did to Sunderland last season. The world continues to turn, RoKo will sort it-not sure Jose will! Chelsea for the Championship? (Anyone notice however great Morgan was for us Utd actually scraped a win this weekend and Toby played a pretty average match for Spuds?)

These results are common place in the first few matches-just ask Arsenal and Chelsea.

Let's all get back to Fantasy Football-we play scintillating
stuff every week, win by a hat-full with nothing conceded, and romp to the league title and champions league without breaking sweat. Absolute boredom (and fantasy). But some would still whinge.

I concur-get a grip.

5.) 18 Aug 2015 21:26:49
As the Eds. did their job on my more expressive comments, perhaps I could just ask a question?

Who achieved the assist for one of our goals at Newcastle, and helped us get a point?

15 Aug 2015 21:35:52
I think we need to play 4-2-3-1 with sketlenburg in goal, fonte and vvd (sign him now) as the cb and as the fullbacks Bertrand (when he's back) and Cedric (even though he looked awful today) as the 2 holding midfielders romeo and wanyama, the wingers mane and J-rod (when he's 100%) as the attacking midfielder jordy clasie and the striker Charlie Austin (sign him up 15m is a bargain)
Then I think we will get top 10

1.) 15 Aug 2015 22:49:48
Why would we play Clasie, a defensive midfielder, as an attacking mid?

2.) 16 Aug 2015 10:13:59
Classie can play anywhere in midfield.
My concern about signing him is that he looks a little light weight for the Premier league as a DM.
Koeman stated this week in his presser that Oriel was his first choice as a replacement for Morgan. With all the noise about Classie, that took me a little by surprise.

The team that took to the pitch yesterday is nowhere near Koeman's first choice team.
I think that given a fully fit squad, Koeman would have had five different players in the squad, so as harsh as yesterday's results feels, We needn't panic just yet!

Keep calm, Support the Saints!

{Ed001's Note - I did say all along Clasie was not being brought in to replace Schneiderlin, the club were trying to sign him to play with him. It just didn't work out like that.}

3.) 16 Aug 2015 15:29:22
Cedric was better than Tadic attacking. he is a good signing I feel. with Van Dijk and Clasie back there will be sufficient cover when he does blaze forward.

4.) 17 Aug 2015 18:49:52
problem is about that not being Koemans preferred starting eleven is , I thought the whole idea of expanding the squad was to be able to rotate the squad with our expected extra
games to be played . Comments are now that we were missing some key players through injury , I thought the whole point of bringing in these extra players was to be able to cope when we have injured players . Have a feeling we have left everything a bit late as we could be playing major catch up in a couple of weeks time.

5.) 18 Aug 2015 11:39:22
Not sure bringing in 5 players at the start of pre season is "leaving it a bit late "

6.) 18 Aug 2015 14:55:28
I get your point but we have not brought in a quality CB which is the main position we needed from pre season onwards and I know we have been unlucky with injuries but we should have a second back four up our sleeve . At the moment we have a sort of back one and a half . Injury will hit us throughout the season and if our deputy players play like they have done we will be in serious trouble unless we sort it now. Having said all this I think Romeu looks promising and he should have been played from the start against Everton and left Shane on the bench so that we could have had more control in midfield . Bring Shane on as an impact player as we normally do seems more the way to go for me , you can't take Morgan out of the side and play with more or less 4 forwards , it is almost football suicide and it showed last Saturday .
