Really? Good for Rafa and us on a whole if we can (could have) get them in quite early so that we're strong and ready when the season starts. Exactly. 9 out of 10 of our transfers get dragged out to a ridiculous degree at the expense of team integration and chemistry, and for what? To save a bit on wages or to knock a half million off or whatever? Ever see the media yapping about other teams targets and then those teams take 2 months to conclude the deal? No, you read about it and it's generally done very soon after. Even hugely expensive deals like Lukaku were reported on and done in a matter of days. We're talking about signing lower half of la liga defenders and championship wingers for around 10m, not 80m strikers ffs.

True, this lad could actually be a cracking signing and just what we need. It would just be nice if for once, they could get a deal done in less time than it takes to sail around the world in a small boat.

Yep, no one gave a f*** by the time Lejeune was signed for example. Not sure if you're agreeing or being sarcastic tbh, but I had lost all interest by the time he signed. A CB who i'd never heard of that took about 2 months to sign. Aye, got the pulse blasting that one. Agreeing mate Ok good, i'm still relatively sane then

I can remember a time when signing players was exciting. With this lot, it takes so long that by the time they get the deal done, you just don't give a f*** anymore

Please.... Weighing up must be the continental version of monitoring

Yeah but we're in discussions, can't rush these things mate

Fuck me, the amount of time they spend yapping or being "in discussions" or "stepping up talks" about deals, it's amazing Charnley doesn't need one of those voice boxes for his worn out throat.

Christ, what an insufferably cunty club they are. Mourinho as manager and about 170m on TWO players in a year, the first of whom, they have no clue how to use properly anyway. What's that, about 5 whole summers of spending for us if we're lucky. Fuck off.

Wasn't Winjaldum our 2nd most expensive signing?

More great defending. One disinterested midget to mark, useless cunts

Hull have been absolutely wank

Really don't care if Hull stay up or not but I wish they'd score just to deny the tramps any kind of joy

Great save by the pikey

some of the most rubbish set piece defending i've ever seen there like. Billy fucking Jones scores while about 8 Hull players stand around idly marking nowt

Saved!!!

"Clucas gingerly back to his feet"

Niasse puts it about 40 yards over the bar from a decent chance fucking duck egg

Watching Southampton vs Hull. Fuck me it's utterly dreadful like, struggling to stay awake.

Great vid. I love the part about 1.40 in where there's about 9 of their fans singing that daft song "we're the greatest team in football the world has ever seen" and then they just go "ah f*** it" and sit down as our fans drown them out

I keep seeing posts about chances we're creating then a post like the above. These match threads are schizophrenic

Not as bad as I thought, but then you only tend to recall the goals against that cost you points I suppose

Don't know why he doesn't just stick with Atsu. Neither are much cop but at least Atsu offers a bit of pace and doesn't give away brainless free-kicks 5 times a game

It's true, like. At no point during the 24 years I've been a fan have we had as many poor players regularly getting games for us. Roeder's tenure was pretty bad for that. aye remember Matty Pattinson? Fuck me

Could have basically sealed promotion today and it appears we just couldn't be arsed. Players want a rocket like.
