I can't believe how underrated Saints are! I downloaded latest squads the other day and there are teams that have been sh!te this season with more 70s+ than us! Complete joke!
They don't tend to lower players' ratings on the basis that their team is underperforming, but also the ratings system is just generally ****e. I mean, how players like Hayden Mullins are rated higher than Schneiderlin I'll never know. The ratings are poor, especially when compared to the superior FM. Oh, and I bet Tadanari will be like 66 or something generically **** like that.
Upson is an interesting shout, I don't think the next 24 hours will be dead transfer wise for us. I think Higginbotham would be more realistic though. Still we want someone who is close to match fitness. Here is hoping big Jaidi has one big performance left in him
In fairness I'd not know if he deserves more than 66. Would hope the person giving him the rating is someone who actually knows Japanese football rather than through the normal system.
So today it'll all (almost) be over until the summer! I'm still hoping for a CB. If we get Upson I'd be effing stunned, but I have faith in the club when it comes to transfers. As has been discussed, the only signing you could consider pointless was Forte, and even that was debatable. It's 9AM here in Kuwait, and I have the day off for deadline day transfer madness. I'm hoping for some fun stuff from the Premiership and a CB for Saints, that's all. Please, please let me get what I want!
Ridgewell looks to be off to WBA, good for us Saturday and hopefully they will sell a couple of others
I hope we can give Aaron Martin more time on the pitch as he is quickly becoming an important cog in the wheels of our bus. He deserves to qualify for a medal when we become champions of the Championship and win promotion.
I wouldn't want upon! Never rated him particularly. Would do well for cover but let's face it he isn't going to come in as cover is he!
Danny Collins agent has said Saints have been back in contact with him this morning.......reported on SSN
Just confirmed that Collins is back in the frame at Southampton. He says some talk about him causing offence at SMS was due to a misunderstanding...I DEMAND TO KNOW FACTS! Anyway..watch this space.
