Thus far this window has been an utter shambles, this after Hughes was promised money is available to sign the next level player. The prospect of losing begovic, nzonzi and Moses ( 3 of our best players from last season) has left us in the position in which we will have to find suitable replacements for those players just to be on PAR to last season . Just on par, not improving. So whilst we face the prospect of having a worse team then last year , our rivals ( west ham, swansea, even palace, Newcastle and sunderland are in the process of making big signings) are actually IMPROVING theirs. After spending next to nothing in 4 windows we should've been in the position to make 3-4 10mill +signings , but instead We're now being linked with free transfers like Glen fucking Johnson. Thus far it seems money is only available to make 1 big signing (shaq).Do people really think that there is a war chest of Funds available, or are we penny pinching again ? We have now a month until the season starts, so the pizza boys and coats better get their asrses into gear. Make no mistake, we now need 5 top class signings to improve of last season At this point 12 months ago Southampton had lost Lambert, Lalanna, & Shaw with Arsenal & Liverpool circling around Chambers & Lovren. How did their season pan out afterwards remind me ?

The window has been open for 8 days. Unfucking believable!! So the signings made before 8 days ago didn't happen then, did sky just make them up? Again do you not think it's wise to sign players before the pre season tour to integrate themselves in the team correctly. I'll tell you what mate we'll just leave all our business to the last couple of weeks of the window ? We'll see how that works out... In an ideal world you could sign all your players before pre season. This isn't an ideal world there are 4 weeks until the season starts 9 until the window shuts. Wait until the season starts before shitting your pants.

I don't see anything wrong with the post. So far it been wank, how can you take any alternative view? We've wilfully got rid of a top defender and replaced him with an inferior one. We've sleepwalked into the N'Zonzi and Begovic situations, we've been chasing players who couldn't be more clear about their reluctance to come here, whilst all the while we've had the Chief Exec doing his Comical Ali impersonation telling us we're shopping in Harrod's now.
Meanwhile we've signed a bloke virtually no ones heard of who seems to be in direct competition with Crouch for who comes off the bench.
What we supposed to do, have a celebratory wank at the brilliance of it all?

Moses isn't our player and has made no noise at all about wanting to return at all either on loan or permanent. You can't force the other 2 to sign, Begovic was average at best post Christmas and N'Zonzi's old man is the issue. We'll move onwards and go forwards just as we have in the past 2 seasons. Calm down a piece youth! What's your point mate ? Yeah Moses wasn't our player and you can't force begovic and nzonzi to sign new deals, but that still leaves us in a position where we Havnt retained and are losing 3 of our best players from last season, which we are not close to replacing. We don't kick a ball in anger that means something for another 31 days, who knows who we'll have brought in by then. Trust the manager, trust the club.

I think this thread is a shambles. Get a grip. If you don't like the thread why comment ? Or is that too much to ask a full grown man to do ? Is it too much to ask a grown man to hold off this kind of bollocks for longer than 8 days into the window and wait and see who we sign?

We need at least six players capable of first team football. That's a massive ask and a pretty impossible one for our mob. So who are these 6 first teamers we're after? A replacement for Nzonzi. A left winger - maybe a backup for Arnie. A backup keeper for Butland. A new right back would be good - but not essential - we've still got the same right backs who got us to finish 9th. Similarly with a right winger. But 6? Really?

We've missed out on our two main targets, lost key players and it just seems all over the place. It doesn't help when the chief executive does a tour of the media before he fucking disappears telling everyone we're operating at a different level now in clear contrast to the actual facts.

A year before their contract runs out we've got them sorted - one way or the other. Still make a decent fee, and we've done it early enough in the window to get replacements in. You don't half spout some utter rubbish Momo about our transfers.

Also we do really need a right winger too, Walters did a great job last season but we could do with better. Actually, I think our right side is our weakest.

Best to bookmark this thread Some will never learn Of course players will come in. Will they be the next level players the club have been promising us, though? Or will they be the Junior Hoillets of the world? The evidence isn't good so far this window is it. Seemingly missing out on our top two targets.
