I think its six out field players based on the beginning of last season:Once Morgan goes to Manure, that will be 4 outfield players gone from last seasons squad, 5 if Toby doesn't sign.
We have only bought 2 in (so far). Les, Kruger and Ron have all spoken about a deeper squad this season due to Europa League. That is a lot of work to be done. So does this mean that we will be seeing another 4/5 outfield players signing before the season opener? Should be fun on the forums.
I'd actually like to see Arsenal challenge. I know TSS amongst others can't bear them, but of the 'big teams' they're far and away my favourite.
Not yet he's not.....apparently no offer received from anyone.....don't believe what the papers say.....keep the faith.
1 CorkI think its six out field players based on the beginning of last season:
1 Cork
2 Clyne
3 Elia
4 Djuricic
5. Morgan?
6 Alderwiereld?
So we need to look at a further four transfers before we consider expanding the squad to deal with the extra games and last seasons paper thin squad
That was my point. We had a thin squad as it was, but at the moment it's paper thin, with more games to play.I think its six out field players based on the beginning of last season:

I don't like to use the word "favourite" when discussing any of the top 6 teams, preferring the term "least not liked"
Plus a CF.1 Cork
2 Clyne
3 Elia - Elia
4 Djuricic - Juanmi
5. Morgan?
6 Alderwiereld? - Alderwiereld
Need:
Rb

Maybe another winger/ cam

This is quite interesting, in a way.Agree with that - They're my favourite of the big clubs as well, it would be nice to see someone other Chelsea or Manchester clubs win it. I used to like Liverpool - not anymore so Arsenal for me now.

I agree with your sentiment, I kind of like Arsenal beacause they bought lots of our players and I take pride in our academy, so Arsenal success = Saints adcademy success (players like Sanchez and Cazorla are just carried by those boys).
But Liverpool (a team I used to enjoy watching) are a bunch of tapping-up, over-paying slimeballs who can't be bothered to train up any kids themselves.
I should hate Arsenal because they nicked our best players, but I don't.
Or, I shouldn't hate Liverpool becuase they nicked our best players, but I do.
Anyway who cares, I hope Saints rip 'em both new ones next season![]()
