Liverpool thinking they will finish in the top 4 is the biggest joke.

Bellamy and carroll are two comedy signings. One is a donkey and the other one is old and past it

Old and past it, like Drogba and Anelka yeah?

Who's the top 4 then?

Man city, man utd, chelsea and liverpool will be top 4 in front of Arsenal, Spurs will finish mid table

As a Southampton fan, I agree with some Burnley
fans,that some Saints fans on here are totally arrogant and deluded. However do not ever forget that you had to win your final game in 1986ish
to stay in the league. Have you not ever been in serious financial bother,I am sure you have. You
are lucky that you never had Lowe and his cronies ruining your club instead of ours,before we had the
wonderful fortune to be bought by the best and most genuine owner in the entire league, Markus
Liebherr,and boy did he love this club.

We may not have had Lowe, but Kilby & Flood are doing a good job of asset-stripping the club with their firesale. They wanted to sell Rodriguez but the player put a spanner in the works by deciding to stay put. That's why they sold Elliott at the last minute to top up their pension pots.

It makes me laugh the way leicester fans are crowing about how glad they are that they got beckford when really everybody knows that they've had to settle 4 the booby price after maynard rejected them. Beckfords an average player hence the reason everton sold him 4 so little money. Sven gone by xmas leicester bankrupt by next season

As a Leeds fan Beckford is Svens best signing to date and guaranteed goals at this level,he could keep Sven in a job with his goals,cracking signing.

Written by some jealous nobody, Florest by any chance?

Southampton hope to persuade Burnley to allow them to take Jay Rodriguez on loan (when the emergency loan window opens next week) with a view to a permanent move in January for £6 million. Source: Nicko (North West freelance).


haha ! Saints fan still clutching at straws because they didn't get a big name signing like maynard, beckford or Jay like they wanted. No club lets there best players out on loan ! ... But yeah whatever l go along with you .....i heard as part of the deal for Jay to go on loan to you your offering Lambert, Lallana and Cork to us for 250k. Muppet.

No club lets their best players go out on loan? Try telling that to Puncheon.

Feeling gr8 after top signing with beckford Maynard injured that y we didn't sign him much rather hav beckford

Dunno about Maynard being injured but i've yet to talk to a Leicester fan who isn't as happy as a dog with two tails that we pinched Beckford and not Maynard. Nothing against the kid, nor BC, but, seriously, who honestly thought we'd snare Beckford? A better player at a better price, that'll do for me!

01 Sep 2011 18:07:51
We didnt sign Maynard cause he's injured instead we got someone better in beckford for less money Bristol signed McGivern he is a donkey

01 Sep 2011 15:22:05
Jay rod still at Burnley get in there!

I have been away on holiday. How much did Saints pay Burnley for Jay Rod? I hope we got at least £4 million.

Can you not read ? STILL A BURNLEY PLAYER.

Jack Cork and Danny Fox will be crying into their Horlicks that their big pal Jay Rod does want to join them on the clapped-out Southampton bus.

01 Sep 2011 13:32:26
How much did Chelsea pay Liverpool for Meireles?

01 Sep 2011 12:50:53
How are you Leicester fans feeling today? Didn't see you signing Maynard in the end

Wev'e signed Beckford instead who is every bit as good as Maynard if not better by way of the fact that he has played at a higher level, (ok, not for long but at least he's been there) and we payed approx £1.5mil LESS for the privilige, how the hell do you think we are feeling you lemon?...the only people feeling happier than us at the mo are the administrators who are hovering over BCFC just waiting to reel them in, can't say they did'nt have the chance of a lifeline can they?...£6 mil for championship striker, great business for anyone in this league but they would be greedy and hold out for more, now it's backfired and they have lost their only chance to make big money on him because NO-ONE is going to pay that for him in January and if he stays after that he'll go for nothing at the end of the season, i just hope he continues to score you some goals because he is the only class player Bristol City have, the rest are average to sh**e and he can't get them promotion on his own, they have just shot themselves in the foot and i think they know it, Still, tough eh!

I second that, Swindon beat them with a full squad of players and we cant win for sh1t at the moment !!

Come on administrators get in there and have those 10 points off them....

I'd have liked Maynard but i'm delighted that we landed Backford instead. At the end of the day, it makes not one jot of difference to me, the humble fan, if a player is signed for £4m or £10m so his (Maynard's) price didn't bother me one iota, it's not my money after all. I'm only bothered about getting a player capable of scoring lots of goals, and we did that.

Congratulations to BC for keeping their main man, i can't help but feel that they've made a huge mistake though. The money raised would have allowed your manager to bring in some players to steady the ship, a new striker and a defender or two, as it is, you'll plough on with what you've got and your manager will fall on his sword as a result, how will that help you to move forward?

Maynard is not as good as you guys claim, if he was then surely a Premier League side would have come in for him? No matter, he'll either sign a pre-contract in January or he'll walk away for nothing in the Summer. Who knows, he might even sign for Leicester!

So, to sum up, we're feeling great thanks, how are you?

Big spenders wishing administration on less well off clubs has a way of biting people on the rear. Apart from one or two clubs, we all live on a wing and a prayer. I think QPR and Cardiff proved that spending and going up are not necessarily linked, albeit for different reasons.

So you'd say that West Ham have no chance of promotion then? They've signed as many players as Leicester and have spent more than any other side bar Leicester in the process. They have an advantage in that they're London based meaning the likes of Bentley and Lansbury don't need to concern themselves with the location, just turn up, wear and different coloured shirt and play.

What people fail to grasp is that Sven came in after the window had closed last season and so built his team using nothing but loan players (Exc Sol Bamba) so all he's done this time around is create his own team, nothing more than that. Alladyce already had a team in place, he's only lost a few players but he felt the need to bring in TEN new players. Derby too have rebuilt from scratch and have basically thrown out last seasons team but because they've been unable to spend any real money, they're not mentioned, the Rams have signed more players than Leicester btw.

Wishing administration on any club is childish but it's equally childish to think such a thing will make a difference to any team's situation. Bristol City could have rebuilt using the money generated by the sale of Maynard but chose to keep him instead, that's up to them isn't it.

Leicester aren't the Devil just because they've spent some money, all that's happened this year is that Sven has bought the players he needed last year, and the players he needed this year, at the same time. The jealous and the haters don't like that we've got some money and the owners are actually prepared to spend it (see Leeds & Forest for examples of well run clubs who's management refuse to splash out) Leicester may or may not gain promotion this season, but there are plenty of people wishing bankruptcy on us if we fail - should we be upset?

Can I just say all the burnley fans who are praising Rodreguiz is amazing he isn't the only reason he rejected southampton is because he wanted more then Lallana and more then the wage structure of the club which proves he has no loyalty he just wants the money ! I bet in a few weeks he will sign a new deal and had double his wages !

Absolute rubbish. Jay turned down higher wages at the Saints to stay on lower wages at Burnley and Burnley won't increase his wages because they have a wage cap which no player can exceed !! good try.

01 Sep 2011 12:29:24
Thank you to the deluded trotters and owen coyle. Gary cahill is soo overated and is worth 7mil tops so to think the trotters wanted defoe is a joke. It says alot about the trotters that a cash deal isnt what you wanted, small club.

Silly old bolton wantin way over the odds for an average defender who will now be sold for next to nothin in jan or leave on a free in the summer.....muppets!

Villa Real are a small club.

01 Sep 2011 12:25:16
Saints fans you didnt sign Maynard, Rodrigez did you now stop going on about it. That's is all.

01 Sep 2011 10:02:52
You Burnley fans have Got a cheek insulting Southampton fc we offered well over the odds for a medeocre player I'm glad we didn't get rodreguez over rated if he was that good a premier league side would have come in for him so get on with your season good luck yer gonna need it

Doesn't say much about Cortese and Adkins if they are willing to offer "over the odds" for a mediocre player like Jay Rod. Saints paid well over the odds (£1.8 million) for donkey Danny Fox - just wait and see we ripped you off there like we did with "Walking Red Card" Wayne Thomas. You'll be back in admin again the way you pay over the odds in wages and transfer fees.

newcastles helicoptor is still on stand by as we speak lol

01 Sep 2011 09:35:13
What a great comment from Scott Dann after he had signed for Blackburn. "I needed Premiership football" was his first comment as against how much he wanted to join Blackburn - it speaks volumes as to his disappointment after being linked with Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs !!

01 Sep 2011 08:46:39
Keith Millen was told by Chelsea to wait until the loan market to sign Josh Mceachran because they were unsure if meireles would sign. Same with Arsenal, now that mertesacker has signed Arsenal are willing to loan Ignasi Miquel to Bristol City

01 Sep 2011 03:27:03
As a Burnley fan its a sad loss to see Elliot leave to a rival club after 6 years loyal service. i assume it was a minimal fee due to his age which really annoys me, a player who played every game of our premier campaign and got the goal which got us there shame he didn't see out his career with the clarets. Eagles, Mears, Elliot, Fox will be a big loss this season top half finish best we can hope for no playoffs.
At least Jay Rod turned down the southern fairies Southampton at least someone wants to stay

Terrible to sell Elliott for only £400,000-£500,000. Skinflint Kilby strikes again as he feathers his nest at the fans' expense.

We can ill-afford to lose one of our few remaining experienced players.

I don't think Fox will be a loss - we did well to get our money back for him £1.8 million and off the wage bill.

01 Sep 2011 04:08:30
Liverpool re-signing Bellamy not a good deal for me 32yrs old, not exactly what the club has been building on with the recent signings. Lets give some more experience to the youth players.

Anyone who hands in a transfer request should be sold asap you don't need the negativity in the dressing room but still a good player to lose and to one of our rivals again not a good move.

Obviously it is not productive signing players so late in the transfer market, one can only trust in KK we certainly seem to be moving in the right direction but I do not have day dreams of the title just yet top 4 is the best we can hope for.

01 Sep 2011 02:28:04
Looks like Owen Coyle is left with a star player that he's been trying to offload for some time and who he blamed for the Liverpool defeat due to'his head not being right'

01 Sep 2011 02:10:45
so the transfers that were claimed by many to be done but never happened.modric,neymar to chelsea,sneijder to man utd,and way too many to mention to liverpool,pastore,cahill,hazard,rossi,villa to various clubs,keep playing championship manager,im sure there you will get the players you wanted.

01 Sep 2011 01:07:53
Happy that Southampton signed a centre back. That was the nececity, whereas a top striker would be a luxury. Our strike force is great at the moment with Forte hitting form for backup and Barnard coming back from injury. Maybe a loan if we want to bolster the strikers, but I like our forwards right now.

01 Sep 2011 00:38:36
we need good players like
lualua 500
fahey 400
james 300
diouf 200
we are in the deep s**t here with feeny and ings gone we are over

31 Aug 2011 23:49:04
i'm a spurs fan, got to say what a signing you've made in ruiz, could be the signing of the summer
