How can people say Sharp isn't Premier League quality when he's only played about 20 minutes altogether this season? God. Still shocked and quite upset at him leaving.

By this logic you can't say Jonathan Forte isn't Premier League quality because he's never played there so how do you know? What we do know is, he isn't as good, or as versatile, as our other attackers which makes him expendable.
 
Best transfer window in the clubs history. To beat our transfer record and then double it is quite extraordinary. What fantastic owners we have. I feel very excited to be a Saints supporter.

A big thanks to those departing players for helping to gain promotion

I know what you're saying and I agree. However I think as long as a player has proved themself at the level below (championship) then you cant rule them out of being able to make the step up (premiership). So Billy could be good enough.
 
Fox isn't that bad :s If he fails to impress there is always January. And I'm sure Jos will be fine.

We have a defence that looks lightweight and inexperienced at this level, by January we could be adrift and too late, I hope I am wrong, we shall have to wait and see.

He could be, sure. And hopefully he gets the chance to prove that with Forest. However out of all our attackers, he was (in the opinions of me, several other users and clearly the management) the most expendable of our attacking options, thus when the chance to double our money came along why would we say no?
 
Really think, 2-3 defenders and maybe a GK in January and we'll be capable of a top 10 finish. Midfield and attack is sorted.

The other teams will be too busy trying to stop Lallana, Ramirez, Mayuka, Chung, Rodriguez and the goal machine Lambert to bother with trying to score.

He was the least important of our strikers I suppose. He is only on loan so might be back, is there an option to buy or anything. What is the deal?

All the reports I've seen say £1m loan fee, £2.5m purchase option which would take it to £3.5m, very nearly double the £1.8m we spent.

1m for the loan and 2.5m more if they want to make it perm.
