Whats the point ?

[Des Little]

We desperately need a season free of a relegation battle to raise the morale. It's 5 years on the bounce now and it grinds people down. The home form doesn't help either.

Absolutely this.  I dream of a season in which the last 10 games are not nerve shredding.

As disappointing as it is, buying players for 7mil and selling for 33mil should be exactly what we are about right now. Southampton have shown that providing you reinvest well, this is how you can grow and develop a top 10 side.

Allowing Delph to get get to having just 6 months left on his contract is just piss poor management.

and what have Sarfampton won?

Considerably more football matches than us in recent seasons.

get that, its just when i hear us being asked to emulate a poxy little club with a charecterless stadium and bumpkin supporters that i can not help thinking that maybe we should be better than that. The Saints ar Norwich in Red and White stripes.

That's incredibly disparaging. It would be no different to Liverpool fans calling us the same or the comments Holloway made about us a few years back. Quite frankly if we are going to follow a club that has come back from the edge of oblivion to be financially sound and within a few years competing in European competition then clubs like Southampton or Swansea are decent models to follow and build on.

Entertainment, goals, good signings, full stadium, great set up, a chairman who gives a flying F, tonked us 6-1, 4-1 etc. I'd be happy with a season similar to theirs of the last 3 years

I think a reality check is needed here by some people because for the past few seasons the only type of club we've emulated is one that's a bloody good candidate for relegation. I for one would have loved us to emulate Southampton's league position over the past two seasons.

[Matt Collins]

I feel like I had a moment of clarity this morning. It's all very well being linked with and making some quality signings. But the squad as It stands today is a definite relegation contender and there's two and a half weeks until the season starts. I think the current group of players probably scored ten or fewer premier league goals between them last season.

I'm excited about grealish and Gil but it's very optimistic to think we can play with one up and rely on them creating and scoring enough goals from the positions behind. And we know that our defence has been awful under Sherwood in particular.

He really has got a hell of a job on. Having said that, there are at least 6 clubs that i don't think have better squads and presumably less money to spend.

I need a positive goal scoring performance tonight and two quality signings within the next week please villa.

They were in the third tier just a few seasons ago and on the edge of going bust. Last season they had as good a go at qualifying for the Champions League as we did back when O'Neill was in charge of us and  they were in League One. That's not bad going in my book.
