Funny little thread this, filled with desperation. You should be more concerned with Eastleigh than us, they are coming to get you.
Yes, Shane Long is a fantastic replacement for Adam Lallana. Who are you going to sign next, Andy Carroll?
I've heard a £5 million bid is on the table for Andy Pandy...... £12.5 million for Shane Long ?! Ronald must have been very, very drunk
I know some think we are throwing money around like drunken sailors and I suppose the irritating thing is we can afford to be generous to other clubs seeing we got way over the odds except for Lambo I only wish there was a player in Pompeys ranks that we could be generous with
Let's see, a club owned by the fans, run in an ethical manner for the benefit of the entire community with genuine fan input, with a promising young English manager and attendances that defy the club's league position vs some millionaire's play-thing which will be dropped like a used handkerchief the moment she gets bored to be sold to faceless millionaire who probably has never heard of Southampton before and doesn't give an iota about the club or the local community. Oh yes, I can see there's certainly lots to be jealous about.
OH you do make me laugh on a daily basis PL LOL I Bet with that sense of humour your missus is in stiches every day lol
In a sense, the signing of Long for £12 mil does prove that Southampton are prepared to spend money and the fans, although they mostly think it's too high a price, which it is, shouldn't worry too much. There will be more coming in no doubt, the only downside is that agents will see the best value is to be had there rather than at another club for less.
Regardless, it's gonna be an enjoyable season witnessing their gradual decline and our irresistible ascent; good vibes all round.
What part made you laugh? Portsmouth being run in an ethical manner by the fans, or Southampton being a millionaire's play-thing? Both are true. Though people do have a tendency to laugh in the face of an inconvenient truth
