ALWAYS_SFC Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 38 minutes ago, Matt said: Fantastic Rudkin and Puel a match mad in heaven. Now I don't claim to know how good (or bad) Les Reed is, but reading stuff on here, reading bits he's said he seems to be a decent bloke doing a decent job and you only have to look at Southampton in recent years with their recruitment. ...and Puel failed with him...we have Rudkin...he's got no chance. He did a brilliant job of steadying the ship after Pochettino left -Mané, Bertrand, Alderweireld (loan), Pelle and Tadic were inspired. But since then it’s been much more hit and miss: yes Van Dijk, Romeu and to some extent Cedric; but on the other hand, Clasie, Hojbjerg, Austin, Boufal, Juanmi, Redmond, Martina etc. Which is normal: statistically, the success rate for transfers isn’t particularly high. Ideally you use the transfer market to strengthen the squad at the margins, not to repeatedly overhaul it which is what we’ve done, mostly out of necessity but some choice, until this summer.

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 30 minutes ago, ALWAYS_SFC said: Nothing to do with him: Wanyama had downed tools the previous season and was entering his final year; Mané had outgrown the club and it was open knowledge he was off; and we didn’t offer Pelle a new contract because of his age and we had signed Austin as his replacement that January. We bought our own hype that we can buy low and sell high and constantly replace players through the transfer market without a drop off in quality. It’s partly caught up with us and Puel and Pellegrino are now dealing with the consequences. He speaks in tongues about ‘interesting possibilities’ and I can see him riling up some of the English lads. But others will definitely respond to him and he’s actually pretty animated on the training ground. Thanks for that insight .. think most fans from other clubs have a bit of admiration ( and sympathy with players lost ) for the Saints .. good football and amazing recruitment over the years. People seem to forget that arguably the two best British players who have played since the Premier League started ... Bale and Shearer started their careers at Southampton.

grumpy old git Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 I can't believe that Puel is the best we can come up with surely Dyche would have been a far better proposition. I don't think some of the people upstairs at the club can remember the crap football Southampton was playing under him. ZZzzzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionator Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 We could actually do with a boring season, it's been such an up and down and up again ride over the past few years, I'd take a typical Stoke or West Brom season from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisNedry Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 I'd love to be proved wrong but I'm actually gutted about the prospect of Puel being brought in. He's got all the charm of a lukewarm fish burger. I'd sooner just let Appleton have a go for a bit. Dreading the announcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchandro Posted 25 October 2017 Share Posted 25 October 2017 I'm willing to forgive a few failings early on if the intentions are good. People will accept mistakes and dropped points, but they won't stand for negativity. If the football is boring it's going to be tough for him.
