    This time next week we will be checking luggage in :) then big fat bacon sandwich ..
    We have wifi at our hotel but I am going to avoid it, can't risk more player departures ruining my holibobs....
    Who knows we might actually buy some quality players in...






    Doubt it :( but would love to be proved wrong.

    I don't mind about this one. I won't be surprised if he was told that Clyne would be first choice this season.

    At least we have another quality player in his position.

    Yes but we all know you need cover. Who is now our reserve RB? Its the lack of movement in that is so worrying.

    Yes you need cover, but when both players want to be first team it's impossible to keep them both happy. I had a feeling one would go this summer due to this fact. Would be nice to bring in some cover or have a budding young right back coming through the ranks.

    Another youngster by the name of James McCarthy. He has looked decent in pre season! Can't blame chambers for leaving.. We are not a big enough club to keep hold of 2 amazing Players in a position of RB.

    Now I am angry. RB was the area we had covered. Don't care if he wanted to leave...he is a young player who has just broken into the first team...he should have been told to show some loyalty and told no. We have trouble getting players of the right quality in, so should hold onto players at this level. It looks like we are going for total team rebuilding...hope Koeman is happy with this.

    Man Utd have sold bebe to benfica with a 50% sell on, I wonder if saints have had the sense to insure one on the deals out of the club, but I doubt it......**** me there better be some quality coming in or Les Reed and his cronies better pack their bags and do one. It's all right being positive saying I could see this coming or we got him,him,or him but we are now becoming a joke, what the **** the club gonna do when Rodriguez,Morgan et al ask to go,club must think great more money coming in. It does make you wonder how they see the future of our club,coz at the moment it doesn't look good. And before you all say MELTDOWN!! and take the piss this is getting serious

    £16m is a massive fee though. Maybe Ron thinks McCarthy is as good> What is keeping me sane is Rons pedigree. He didnt come for a relegation dogfight.

    I think Ron is being strung along. They ask him can you manage without player X if we get a replacement in....and so on. Who next? Too many going out without replacements already in. How is he expected to prepare without his team in place? We should get players in first and players should be told there is no chance of a move until we can manage without them. I wouldn't be surprised if he left...is this what he signed up for?

    Getting serious? Get a grip. There so many more serious things in the world.

    Bebe'so transfer is different. They sold him for 2 million, I doubt any club buying a player for 15+ million will want to put that in the transfer. It just doesn't make economical sense.

    But we can manage without chambers... We have Clyne and McCarthy as cover, you can't keep two top right backs happy at a club like ours.

    I said yesterday that I remained confident as I was so happy with Ron's appointment and the 2 purchases we had made, but everyone has a tipping point. Not quite in meltdown, but my consistency is more jelly like today (though stiffened by anger).

    Well its getting a bit perverse with Arsenal, its embarrassing. Of course they won't care. I'll reserve my total disappointment until the beginning of the season and who we have in, but its not good is it.

    This is a football forum,I'm entitled to my opinion,and in the forms of football this is serious,so shove your comment up your arse,and has Fran has mentioned Koeman could decide this isn't for him.

    I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion. Thick and stupid, who would have thought.
