Southampton

[lincoln ranger]

We can afford anyones wages.
The clubs spunked quarter of a billion in five years, so money really is no object.
We just cant legally pay them anymore.

Obviously it's a good thing that we are no longer looking to get mercenaries into the club with ultra expensive wage demands etc. However, we do seem to be trying to do things now on a shoestring budget. Before I get shouted down, I know this must be linked to the FFP fine hanging over us, but surely there must be another way of getting a bit more quality into the club in the areas we desperately need to strengthen? Premiership loans must be one way for example? Young, talented, up and coming players from established Premier league clubs would surely relish regular first team football at the Championship level as opposed to their own teams Youth set up? It's got to be a better option than the likes of...Niclas bloody Bendtner after all!

Who is the guy southampton have signed?

[Stanley]

The guy they signed isn't a striker. No. 10 or winger.

Correct. Austin's place isn't threatened.

Who is the guy southampton have signed?

Sofiane Boufal

Don't think it's official yet though.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Brown envelope ?

Not anymore mate. Palidini's gone.

[72bus]

he'll never come back , would be a step back for him

[hal9thou]

.... and in any case he'll be at Sotton at least until the Jan window, money down on that....

[jmelanie]

Anybody think Austin looked disinterested yesterday? I only saw it on MOD

[1973 ranger]

Looks a shadow of the player we had and thought as much when they played Man Utd

[Shania]

He didn`t look that bad, but I thought he looked well out of pace.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Looks a shadow of the player we had and thought as much when they played Man Utd

he wants to come home .

[1973 ranger]

Just looked like someone he was going through the motions. Shame as he was a top lad for us.

[nanocopic]

I agree with all of you, he doesn't seem to.have that hunger. I.imagine if we got promoted he would come back. Good to see Jay Rodriguez get back and get a goal after all this time.

[1973 ranger]

Always good to see a player who has had a terrible injury come back and do well. Things have Changed for Charlie as the man who signed him has gone.

[maidstone_hoop]

He looks low on confidence and a bloke who knows he's not first choice !

We might have half a chance as he could be 5th choice after they sign the new bloke! Just would be suprsoed if a club like Burnley or Hull didn't try to prize him away on loan before we had a chance!

[moon_safari]
