Jayson

It does, all of it is right there being said.

He's got both the most assists & most goals of anyone in our team the last 10 games. Says it all. Hes doing something right like. Probably deserves a place in the side.

Bobby did say he was a mess when he came in after Gullit, standing with his back to goal & not mobile enough. That he had to reteach Shearer how to play.

Interesting article in the Telegraph discussing how southampton are set up in comparison to the statement we put out: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/11366206/Gary-Neville-The-era-of-the-gaffer-is-over.html & on transfers:

Fuck sake like. That's completely fucking stupid. No words, poor Jonas. Deserves our support.

Shouldnt Bojans career be more of a marker than his form in Pre season. The guy wasnt starting in Holland.

Hes done alright if you look at many reactions to this summer vs end of last season

Ashley has to keep the fans happy to an extent, he knows something was building last season. I remember Pards saying Ashley had told him he wanted more attacking football & how that was perfect as thats exactly how he likes his sides to play. Or some such bollocks.

Anything to read into the number 5 being left vacant?

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/a-tale-of-two-cities-how-geordie-cloud-drifted-over-sunderland-9652632.html Shocked if true. All over twittor, probs just nabbed it from that.

Because it's highly unlikely any of them will carry Pardew like Ba, Remy and Cisse for 6 months did. We've got a guy in who's wages we're paying on the basis that he proves himself enough to buy him. Then Riviere who was already a sub at a more successful club, he's come to start games. Neither have been purchased as sub's have they? That's ignoring Perez who's starting most games pre season being a 4th choice striker for us. Just seems unlikely. I think we're going with these 3.

Could well be. Can fit into their side as a wingback also, was unlucky not to get a couple assists last night & played very well again.

I'd give him another chance. Him & Ben Arfa are separate situations, fair play to him for staying determined.

Ant decent performances from our lot? Ayoze looks good, goal was only real moment of quality in the game. Riviere wasnt given much to work with. Obertans pace could have been used more, two long throws from elliot & he was breaking away. The best interplay came on his side tbh the rest just look like individuals as you'd expect.

At the game. Doesnt seem like any real style of play. Elliots actually been alright.

Balls

On a similar note, 30 mins ago: @SchneiderlinMo4 6 years of an amazing journey #saintsfc DESTROYED in 1 hour !!!

"If anything comes along" suggests we've stopped actively looking for players then.

One in 45 How do you let that keep happening as a manager?

Cheers for update lads. Glad the new lads are building some early confidence at least.

Could someone give me a summary of how we've played? Has it been nice stuff?

Looks like proper transfer, around 8m being reported.

Siggurdson prob off to palace then. Surprised no one else came in.

Then why do the photos? So they are ready for when we finalise with Feyenoord. Janmaat has gone on holiday. So he actually hasn't signed yet & we could yet end up with Debuchy.

This! We need a classy CB! And keep MYM. Be nice to sign someone who could actually use his head & score from set pieces. Im expecting just another striker atm, seems little talk of anything else. Who knows though.
