Dr Venkman Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Really hope he does. Looking forward to getting him in the team, I think he'll have a really good season whether it be as a left forward or striker. Think he'll move to a 'big' club next Summer though. Christ on a bike. Southampton or Swansea maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your given me far too much credit there I do agree though, i was just saying its not like Southampton are lacking in cash they have very wealthy benefactors backing them. I don't think people realise how much money they have, they are not like Norwich etc etc who are clearly stooping into the TV money they actually have significant cash flow to call upon.

Mick Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 When did he die? They've apparently spent £25m so far this summer. He died a while ago, they are still being run as a business and will buy and sell but not on a scale that would suggest they are being run by an idiot with loads of cash. We're the ones being run by an idiot with loads of cash and we're spending nothing. Southampton are being run like a football club with a bit more ambition than spending as little as possible to survive and advertising a shitty brand.

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The daughter isn't the one running the club, it's some bloke who used to be a finance manager. He's a bit of a dick and unliked by all accounts. Sounds like Ashley in that he runs the club like a business and is disliked by fans because of it.

Teasy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Southampton have come up with a Championship squad with Championship level costs (I'd be surprised if their total costs were anywhere near £20m per year in the Championship), so they've been spending the extra revenue now afforded to them by the Premier League. They've probably now bridged the gap between the costs they had when they came up and the hugely increased revenue they now have so I doubt they'll keep spending big. Also I wouldn't swap the players we've brought in over the last 3 windows for there's: Dejan Lovren Victor Wanyama Jay Rodriguez Steve Davis Nathaniel Clyne Paulo Gazzaniga Emmanuel Mayuka Gaston Ramirez Maya Yoshida Vegard Forren £55m Loïc Remy Olivier Kemen Vurnon Anita Yoan Gouffran Moussa Sissoko Massadio Haidara Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa Mathieu Debuchy Romain Amalfitano Gael Bigirimana Curtis Good Kevin Mbabu £28m Even better if Gomis comes in (don't think Southampton are currently in for anymore players?). Going to be interesting next summer when the increased TV money has been received. If we're not spending then you'll even find me getting into the "where's the fucking money gone!" posts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Dunno if anyone listened to Total Sport last night, but Pardew admitted that Remy is like Cisse and there's work to do on the two as a partnership. Hints at 4-4-2. Also hints at shoe-horning signings into the side because they're available, as opposed to tailoring signings for the squad/our style of play (as if we needed confirmation).

That's what he offers a team. He might not be involved in the game for a period and you're thinking "where's Remy", then he'll just burst on the scene and score a goal and that's the type I think we need." Lowes: "He sounds a bit Cisse-ish." "He is a bit Cisse-ish. As a partnership, there's probably some work to do on those two cos they both wanna go in behind and stretch teams. Our link-up play is something we need to improve with Cisse and now Remy." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
