I take your point, but I'd like to see Mane collecting ball deeper and driving through the centre of the midfield with Long ahead of him. Long also offers something in the air which Mane doesn't.

Must say I'm looking forward to seeing Long leading the line this weekend (If Koemen gives him a chance!). Trying to play him out wide has never quite suited him. We'll park the bus and look to hit them on the break with Long in behind. Even though Pelle is excellent, I'd like to see Long get...

So FA...... What percentage do we get? 30k might almost cover for Gaston's new contract!

Take a point. But the quality is there. We looked more of a threat, and as has always seemed the case as a Saints supporter, the opposition get one shot on target, and score. We need to be more ruthless. VVD was epic again. Need to get me a green shirt with lots of 'V's ASAP! (PS - Was Koemen...

As long as he plays on commission. And drives the bus.

There are times when full-backs need to be full backs, so I can appreciate bringing Soares off. Problem is Yoshida is a rubbish full-back. And did anyone else get the feeling we were f##ked when Kelvin Davis lined up in the tunnel. Nice guy I'm sure, but Saints, let him go already.... Anyhow...

Good post.

I'll put my hand up and admit i was one of the sceptical bunch regarding Jrod- both because of his sometimes wasteful finishing and doubts i've harboured on his ability post knee-op. But I think it is looking really promising the more i see him: 1. Physically he looks strong. Some are saying...

I like it and think loans can work. Toby was a success - we just need to pump up the 'buyback clause' this time so it's not viable for QPR to recall him if he has a good season.

Hmm. Suitably humbled. I guess my questions arise from seeing other clubs buy success, and figuring that is the only way you can achieve it in this day and age in the Premier League. Most other sports have caps and conditions to level the playing field. Guess I should just accept it rather than...

Got it. And me missus' birthday sorted too.

I think you're right and don't want to sound ungrateful. But in an era of elite English football clubs and their owners spending ridiculous amounts of money and consistently running at a loss, seems hard to compete with only a sensible backer. Then again - could be worse.

Can someone explain the black bibs to me?

Shrewd business is all very well - but only if we eventually spend the money. If we compare the money we have received from transfers with our outlay in the past 2 years (+Tv rights etc...) , there is a considerable sum not being spent. Where is it going? I'd be happy if it was put into...

Still better than Bolotelli.
