    Hmmmm maybe. I doubt we will shift Armstrong after only 1 season, unless he’s unhappy. Seems odd though; “grown man on exorbitant salary fails to settle because Southampton is a **** hole”.

    I do like long but don’t feel he should be one of our three strikers. Adams Armstrong and Long- hardly gets the pulse rising for next season.

    He’s a great influence on the training ground though.

    Sorry.

    No they just have a life size cardboard cutout and the younger players gaze in awe, absorbing the wisdom.

    I’ve just realised this is supposed to be the Shane long appreciation thread and all I’m doing is taking the piss. Poor Shane.

    Was that Long? That’s incredible. Give him at least a couple more years.

    It's the right decision but I think he deserves a bit more respect that that TBH. Has been a great servant to the club.

    Kidding of course. But for me it's a sad day. Love Shane to bits.

    Should've been gone years ago if it wasn't for a grossly overpaid contract. Nice enough guy yes, good footballer no.

    Right decision. But nevertheless a very sad one.

    He'll always be a legend to me. Thank you Shane.

    Agreed but can't fault the guy's effort and commitment to the club. We all know his limitations but he only signed what was put in front of him. Not his problem if the club overpaid him or gave him one too many contracts. Anyway, this is the Shane Long appreciation thread, not the Saints board ****ed things up thread. :)
