Potentially Targett replacing Bertrand as we move into the season, as at the Millwall game I formed the view that he is physically stronger while also competent going forward (Betrand is a bit lightweight IMO). I think we need davis or cork in the line up, given their ability to recycle the...

I'm assuming everyone raving about JWP watched the last two games? I agree re his set pieces, but he's too lightweight and doesn't seem to have a great deal of energy. I would love him to progress but I haven't every seen him repeat his performance at home to Man U in early 2012/2013. If I...

Yes, under Adkins in 2012/2013 he showed glimpses of real class. I remember that Villa game (3-1 I think) and he bossed it - he almost looked Zidane-esque. When he came on last year you could see he wasn't naturally suited to Pochettino's pressing game and seemed to be running about like a...

Get the impression that Koeman wants to use him. He mentioned that he was keen to get Gaston on yesterday - would seem odd if he was about to cart him off on loan. We desperately need Gaston in our side. Even last year he was one of the only players who could put a ball on a sixpence for...

I thought at county cricket games there tend to be more players on the pitch than in the crowd so lets hope not too many are no shows on Saturday.... Granted it is T20 and the final...

Spread the word and get the place filled up on Saturday. We looked great at times against Liverpool and I for one am now feeling very positive about the new season. Apart from money and perceived ambition I'm convinced that having a bouncing stadium week in week out is a massive boost when...

Very disappointing - does this mean we've lost out on Rojo? Hope not Anyway let's get behind him

In Morgan's case I sensed this would happen because of Deschamps' attitude - he overlooked him for ages, and then when he made the team every time he was asked about him he kept saying how "he plays for a small club that nobody has heard of etc.." W****r Heartbroken as he was always my...

I agree with one of the later posters - in isolation it looks good business (particularly as we have Clyne) but taken together with everything else it loooks terrible. The problem is that when things are perceived to be bad, they can become bad even if actually there is not issue. For example...

Just say no why do we need the money? I'm expecting my seat to be a lazyboy this season

The great thing about being a Saints fan over the last couple of years is that we've been playing so well and challenging the "big" teams - we've not felt constrained by any sort of glass ceiling and we have had realistic aspirations of Europe etc.... While I think there is a good chance that...
