| News Comment | Southampton Said To Be Close To Agreement For Russell Martin Replacement at 10:48:36
I will welcome him with open arms. He can’t be worse than RM. Most fans were negative when we signed Manolo Gabbiadini but he turned out a savior. Leicester fans were not excited when C.Ranieri was appointed but it turned out their best ever decision. Cortese was termed “mad” was firing Nigel Atkins and bringing in unknown Poch. We still dream to have Poch back. This new Manager may turned out to be what we exactly need. We are already in the worst ever imaginable position. It can’t get worse than this. It can only get better. So Go on grab a cup of coffee and have some long overdue smiles. |
| News Comment | Southampton Sign Forward From Aston Villa at 18:44:44
He seems more prolific than CheAdams. And if he is at least as hardworking as Che was then we are better off. I can’t wait to see Mara out. He is so bad that I can’t figure out what his position is. I would drive him to his next club for free. Nick, would it be a good a good idea to keep tall Paul? |
| News Comment | Southampton Ready To Break Transfer Record In Next Week at 10:56:06
Desperation is a very unattractive thing. RM’s number 1 target was FDowns and now it’s MO? He is also desperate to have both? I think the best transfer decision to make is to keep KWP, who I still believe is the only real PL quality in the squad. As I said in another comment I don’t like record breaking signings because they have never worked for us so far in my life time |
| News Comment | Back To Stripes Back To Reality For Southampton at 21:45:10
It really is a shame we again choose Gambling connections. I stopped buying shirts since we ditched our traditions and decided to follow the rest. That means we will always be behind “following “ what others do instead of sticking to our traditions and ethics and looking for innovative ways to surpass the rest. We should stop being a lazy copycat. |
| News Comment | Charly Alcaraz Says He Wants To Be At Southampton at 15:38:30
Most people won’t agree with me on this but we are short on forward players. It’s the lack of quality upfront that got us relegated in the first place. But somehow we still think we are okay because we have Mara and Edozie. Armstrong has just proven to us all that he is only good for the championship. Who else do we have? Charlie was one a few bright sparks we had in that relegated season. It’s why a gigantic club like Juve went for him.My verdict is Keep him. Build a frontline suited to his style. Then thank ourselves later for keeping hold of him. |
| News Comment | Saints Set To Bid £6 Million To Bring Back Former St Mary's Hero at 12:32:25
I am only worried about his ageing injury prone body. He is the sort of striker that needs game time and patience to unleash the beast inside of him. We signed Lallana and are now going for Ings,my Question for Nick is; who do you think is making these decisions. Is it RM or some office guy? |
| News Comment | Southampton V Watford The FA Cup Replay Verdict at 20:46:41
Will Smallbone has impressed me a lot. Everytime he passes the ball forward he runs inside the box and more often than the opponent loses track of him. JWP used to do the same runs for England in the few games that the manager was brave enough to play him ahead of the fancy names. But like JWP, Smallbones teammates dont feed him enough. If smallbone improves his finishing, he would easily score 20 odd goals a season. |
| News Comment | Ralph Hasenhuttl Set To Return To Management at 22:55:07
I like him a lot. I miss him. Those special wins against Arsenal, and Chelsea at Stamford bridge. Setting traps all over the pitch and feeling so confident even without the ball. And how we sometimes preferred to chase the ball in the opponent’s half so we can counter and score within 10secs of winning it back. Very direct. And thrilling. I think he lost his way when he started focusing more on possession football. We just weren’t built for that. I will welcome him back anytime alongside Danny Rohl. |
| News Comment | Southampton V Swansea City The Verdict at 21:34:05
Well done Saints. Just don’t do what Leeds did; smash a strong team in Ipswich and lose to a weaker opponent in the next match. Follow this smashing with another win, doesn’t have to be a smashing. Just win. Beautifully, ugly, harshly, nicely…I don’t care. Just win. Also, don’t rule out a Leicester crumbling towards the business end of the season. Remember 3 -4 seasons ago in the PL when they were second position and had a 15 point gap with the team in 4th, they bottled it up and ended up sixth? They never really recovered from that imo. There is no other way we can control how teams around us perform other than beating them when we meet. So, keep on smashing them Saints 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 |
| News Comment | Southampton V Blackburn Rovers The Verdict at 23:20:12
We should be targeting promotion via a top 2 finish. I don’t think we have the grit to win promotion from the playoffs. I’m sorry Nick, but I just don’t believe we that bite in us. |
| News Comment | Southampton V AZ Alkmaar The Verdict at 22:12:07
Possession football my ass!It never worked for us under Claude Puel, and Ralph Hassenhuttle did well with us until he started prioritizing possession. Why can’t we play like Burnely did last season; no nonsense brutal tactics, Or at least get a manager that can do so? Who else misses Ronald Koeman? |
| News Comment | Southampton Likely To Move Quickly To Replace Jones at 11:15:15
Go get us The Celtic Manager, Ange Postecoglu. He is more similar to the Ronald Koeman style of play that we so desperately miss. Oh ! is Koeman with any team at the moment? We were such a perfect match. |
