Comment | Saints V Watford ! Dans Preview
at 21:04:17
I think that if the current signings come good as they have the past few years we will be OK with one or two additional signings.. Redmond & Long up front could be deadly and the new Danish midfielder could be a wicked unknown who could combined with Tadic might be something special. |

Comment | Cedric Soares Linked With Barcelona

I also do not understand why he was dropped right as he started ripping it up with his excellent crosses and would love to see how he and Charlie get on next season. Hopefully a new manager and the 3 years he has left will allow him to shine next year as with Bertrand we have two fierce crossing full backs. |

Comment | Neil Ashton Is At It Again
at 22:13:10
The latest quote from Morgan is somewhat disturbing so let's hope it's a translation issue. If still wants to play for a 'big club' and does not want to rise to the top the hard way with a true team then sell him and get someone else.
This season has been amazing and anyone on our squad who is using Saints as a 'stepping stone' will show their colors and be off for a shed load of $$. |

Comment | Could Schneiderlin Leave For Spurs Before The Transfer Window Shuts
at 17:27:51
I agree with you Nick that Ralph will lose face but also agree that everything is about strengthening the squad which we clearly need to do. Mistakes have been made and whether we sell him now, January, or next summer he will go and we could do without him. Guess it's up to RoKo to plead his case to Ralph one way or another and trust that his course of action is correct and Ralph will go along despite his comments.
The next two games may decide this for everyone.... |

Comment | Saints Agree Fee For Hull City Striker
at 00:13:34
There is no pleasing some of you folks...give him some time to flop. I know nothing of him other than some recently watched youtube vids but it appears he might have the same potential as JRod so let's hope for that.
Seems we over paid but we are loaded and are running out of time....not a bad gamble me thinks. |

Comment | Schneiderlin's Saints Journey Destroyed In An Hour !!!!
at 14:51:49
When I got up yesterday I thought the worst like everybody else but Ralph's statement put my mind at ease. Yes he has put his head on the chopping block but it has not been lopped off yet and the club is not for sale. This MS twitter rant and not possible dust up is not good. Whether he is the cause of the altercation or not he must be made to honor his contract and fined if he does not. Each and everyone of these players was happy to take the $$ before big clubs started calling so they can continue to take it with a smile or eat the fine or suspension....none of these rich toddlers know the meaning of DESTROYED.
The board is damned no matter what they do.....we wanted them to state their case, they have, so let's wait another two weeks. Too much judgement is passed too early and let's not lower ourselves to some of our players level. Yes we are tight on time to get new players and to gel as a squad but it can happen so chin up and let's enjoy the ride now that the wheels seem to be securely fastened. |

Comment | Chambers Departure Does Not make Good Reeding !
at 19:14:26
I am absolutely gutted and I am only year one into this journey....what a complete cock up. I feel for all long time die hard fans....this is difficult to watch as a newbie...my sympathies to all those with long allegiances. As long as Schiederlin & Jay stay I will reserve judgement provided they buy now...if they follow MoPoAssHo out he door I may have to shut this party down.

Comment | Is This Summer As Bad As The Summer Of 1992 ? I Would Say Not !
at 05:37:22
I wanted to comment on the upcoming article but the bar just closed and I am *toned & sleepy so here is what I came up with while walking the bulldog.
!) Should they turn out to be true, the Spider/Chambers offers from Arsenal are a hit and I thought the end was near after doing my best to stay possible despite terrible thoughts and foreboding emotions. On the positive, Chambers may be as good or better prospect than Shaw but like Luke, he has not proven anything yet and Clyne can fill that role immediately.. They are both young players who may or may not develop, we should take the obscene money and run...but we NEED TO START BUYING AND MAKING SERIOUS OFFERS!
2) Perhaps the board is pulling the greatest cover up in history...let me finish. We have loads of young talent able to fill the void should we sell some (or most) of our players. We secure ridiculous amount of $$ due to our 'Cinderella' year, and make off like bandits on every deal.....but we NEED TO START BUYING AND MAKING SERIOUS OFFERS!
3) This was the plan when RoKo came board with their enticing him with the ability to spend this giant wad as he saw fit to build Europa/Champions league squad....but we NEED TO START BUYING AND MAKE SERIOUS OFFERS!!!
Either this is the most insane back room deal making, team changing, squad reforming, nucleus reorganizing, overall everything not being the same pile of monkey shit.....or...it is exactly the horror show it appears to even newbie fans like me.

Comment | Osvaldo To Leave As An Expensive Folly
at 16:18:26
Good article Nick....Osvaldo is an expensive lesson I hope the new board will learn from. I stated my distaste for hunches in my first post but I think Ramirez might have a shot for some increased playing time under RK and could blossom. We have spent the money and like Osvaldo, have not given him a proper opportunity so until he knocks someone out he should get his chance. Maybe RK will see something MoPo did not...let's hope that's true for a few others as well. |

Comment | It's Not Doom And Gloom According To The Bookies
at 22:11:46
I agree Lovren & Schneiderlin are key but with no apology yet he is poison after saying what he said and $20m is great business. Schneiderlin must stay for me to remain positive about there not being an exodus en masse....make him captain already!! |

Comment | It's Not Doom And Gloom According To The Bookies
at 13:48:12
Last season was the first year I followed the BPL and I picked Saints at random and was treated to a beautiful ride and am now completely addicted to the sport and this team. For good or ill (mostly ill) I read all comments on this site, Daily Echo, etc, and am shocked by how everyone thinks the sky is falling. I am sick of everyone's predictions, thoughts, feelings, hunches, etc....give it a rest! It might be my rookie blinkers but can't everyone see Saints are in better shape than at the end of last season and get excited for this next one!! Stop talking about the guys that left and talk about who is now on board....so far every move a good one for the team and business. Ralph is near and dear to my Canuck heart and I can understand your frustration but he is a sports business genius and needs time. This is my first post so take it easy on me but I can tell you all as a brand brand new 35 year old fan I think our first match against Liverpool will be one of the best games in certainly my very recent memory but likely a lot of yours as well!! |
