    I would like to think we could do better, if the plan is to stay in the Prem first year, I would like to see some Prem quality players come in, and I don't believe he has proved himself, yet.

    Nope. I wouldn't bring a former player back. They're in the past and that's where they should stay.

    We could attract better if we went up.

    I'd rather move forward than bring back former players, except maybe Bale or Chamberlain.

    Yes, and pretty much for this reason. I always like his versatility. And then of course there's the whole local lad thing.

    Agreed. 12 months or more ago I would have had Surman back in a heartbeat. Not anymore. Don't need him. Not even sure it's a bit of a shame either.

    We've already got better players than Surman. He would be surplus to requirements.

    Adkins looks for raw material, then tries to turn them into Southampton players. Surman was good for us and has a good attitude..wouldn't complain if Nigel saw a future for him.

    I`d have any player back, if Adkins wants them. Surman had bags of potential maybe he moved on (forced out/cashed in) too quick.

    I agree could be an Adkins kinda of player. But I think he would have been a signing for this season, the way thing are going :) ...missed the bus I'm afriad

    Surman is a smashing lad and did more for Saints when we were in deep trouble than most fans realise, but his best position is left midfield and he's not in Lallana's class.

    Too one paced, no bottle and highly overrated. Only good at clapping all 4 stands at the end of the game.

    No for me, wouldn't get in our side last year in League 1, let alone next year in the Prem.
