    From nothing and going into liquidation, to signing one of the hottest properties on the footballing scenes. We have arrived.

    Well, following the closure of the transfer window, I'm going to take a stab with my team

    Score: Saints 0 - 2 Man Utd

    Scorers:

    Team:

    Davis
    Clyne Fonte Hooiveld Fox
    Davis Schneiderlin Lallana
    Puncheon Lambert Rodriguez

    Subs: Gazzaniga, Seaborne, Shaw, Richardson, Lee, Ward-Prowse, Mayuka

    Can't see Guly being involved myself, but Adkins will no doubt think otherwise

    I'd be tempted to start with Lee. He gives us something different.

    Not yet convinced on 4-3-3 would like 4-2-3-1 instead.

    They say six but it's actually eight (plus a Youtube video = nine). Should be compulsory revision for Saints fans before Sunday.

    They've just briefly discussed this match on Soccer Saturday. Tiss was a bit off hand about our signings...he went on to discuss them but the damage was done as he made it sound like we'd signed nobodys. He did stand up to Merson about attendance, explaining the returned tickets. Also said there was still a rift with the Echo...whereas I'm sure they get interviews now. Stand up for us more, Matt...it's bad enough being sneered at by others never mind one of our own.

    Le Tiss has been a moany bastard ever since the rumour went around him asking for free tickets and Cortese saying no.

    Word on the Dutch Eredivisie Live is that Evra is injured and Buttner will start tomorrow <laugh>

    If that's the case I'd be tempted to match up Mayuka or Lallana against Buttner, give him a test!

    Cove - what do you make of Maya Yoshida, the ex VVV-Venlo CB we signed?

    Probably, on the other hand i suppose 80% won't have a clue who he is and will just join in with the minority for the sake of it.

    Not too impressive as defender, got the strenght and stamina, but lacks speed and his tackling is poor.
    He's not very tall but he was always solid in corners and free kicks into the penalty area.

    EDIT: very tall for Dutch standards ofcourse, 1m 90 is the standard here <laugh>

    Most notable action in the Eredivisie:

    What the news on signings playing or not playing? I was in the thinking that if the deal was not done before 12 - midday yesterday they can't play over the weekend yet im sure a lot of teams have signings included today...Andy Carroll, Dembele, Berbatov for example?! Anyone clear this up?

    Buttner was nice about us and wanted to come here. It's not his fault that his dad's a ****.

    What did you think of Steve De Ridder when he played in the Eredivisie a couple of seasons ago?

    Have to disappoint you there, I only started to take big interest in the Eredivisie since the 2010-2011 season, and even then, De Graafschap played horrible football to watch. I never took a liking to see those type of games.
