Esteban Cambiasso ... has just scored for our reserves away at MK Dons ... where we are winning 4-0 ... 4-0 at MK Dons ... there is something nagging in the back of my mind ....
No, but then I doubt any of us thought that one season SAF would only pick up two points from our opening three games against Reading, Portsmouth and a pre-£££ City. Anyone want to hazard a guess which season that was?
He's not here now though......a new manager getting used to our tough league now has the reigns You will obv improve, all new managers take time but I refer to some laughing at everyone elses players when after pre season VG was going to score maximum points this season! Im exaggerating but you get my drift
First two responses on this thread. Im loving your optimism guys but hold your horses the pair of you, Lallana hasnt even played a game yet I know you think Rojo, Blind, Di Maria, Falcao, Herrara, Shaw will all have no probs whatsoever despite only 1 having played in the Prem before but I like to be more cautious Anyhow, thanks for the support
You're right that almost all of our signings are unproven in the PL and it will be interesting to see how they get on. Balotelli and Lallana on the other hand are proven in the PL so we all know what to expect. Not much. For all the piss taking at United's overpaying for players, I think Lallana will prove to be the major howler of the transfer window.
If you can't tell the spirit those posts were made in, you probably need someone to help you get that hook out of your mouth
I think he'll be good tbh ad not just because he made team of the season but Southamptons fans opinions of him, but all about opinions! I do however trust they saw their capt play last season more than you As for Balotelli, its either going to go great or be a car crash. Again, I think he'll do good.
My missus' dad is a Saints season ticket holder. He didn't think Lallana was anything special. To be fair I've not seen a great deal of him but I do know that he's slow and lazy. Can't see how he's an improvement on Coutinho, he's probably worse.
Lovren, Costa, Fabregas, Chambers, Fabianski off the top of my head have been the stand out signings so far imo, think Welbeck will get 20+ as the number 9 if he gets ahead of Giroud of course as I dont see him being used as a winger for Arsenal. And as for our 6 new signings we will just have to wait till the team clicks before making judgements.
Lovren is another one the old man didn't rate too highly. Said he's one paced and rash. He rates Fonte much more. I know cock all about both of them.
