So reports coming out saying Tadic and Puel have had a fallen out and Claude wanted to place him on the transfer list but the board intervened. Puel's position maybe under threat already apparently.

So we spent all summer to secure out manager who has had 3 competitive games . Not great games but still only 3 and we are supposed to believe the board are fed up. I have been reading posts for years without comment and this one got my goat. Saints forever.

No need to worry someone will always want to manage saints.

Tadic said that he was very impressed after talking with Puel for the first time. Quickly things have changed then. 😈.

Well done Dorset. Just when I thought you couldn't make yourself look anymore stupid! Probably not even a saints fan.

I'm simply posting what I read. Not saying it's true, hence why I put according to reports. However I don't think Passionless Puel will last the season.

What are we doing business 3 poor games into the season? Get the feeling this could be the season that finds us out. Sturbridge on loan? We desperately need a striker it's there for all to see. Charlie Austin on a break on Twitter not sure why he needs a break he didn't exactly put in a shift on Saturday- one of the worst performances I have ever seen.

Saints 001. There isn't a great deal of that post that makes any sense.

The points were why are we still doing business so we are going to buy players who are injured or not had a pre season with us so will need time to gel. time we haven't got after the first 3 performances

We are desperate for a striker it's plain to see so why haven't we bought one or Sturridge on loan?

Austin is on Twitter in the sun ona break after Saturday and his chance to shine (not taken) with a start the last thing he needs is a break he needs to either get fit or get match ready cause he was neither.
Hope this clarifies jamesaint.

He fell out with Ronald Koeman and wanted to leave.
Koeman left, and Tadic signed new deal.

IMO Saints0001 has a point here.
We are in need of a proven goal scorer, and that they realistically should have been bought in earlier

Hopefully we still will strengthen in this area before the summer transfer window closes.

The "report" appeared on a site where people can make up their own rumors. Sara Davidson posted it on soccer-rumors. It seems some gullible people will believe anything they read.

I am with Dorset on this One. The whole body language of the team (and Tadic in particular) has an air of disatisfaction with the set up and style of play we are employing.
I too do not believe Puel will last the season. I have a feeling we will have a new manager by the opening of the january window at the latest.
I am a diehard saints fan but cannot help feeling we are in for a long hard winter.
The board, in my opinion, have made a succesion of inspired decisions but I do not the the Puel is going to prove to One of them. don't get me wrong I am with Saints (and the board) all the way.

Agree that Austin seemed to be out of sorts Saturday. But I'm confident that his good games will outnumber the bad ones. At the end of the season Puel will still be here- another thing I'm confident about. Apparently Boufal has signed and we are still looking to get another signing in .

Cross fingers that Rodrigues gets more game time and returns to the striker he was before that terrible injury. The reason we are still doing business in reply to Saints0001 is that the board and manager are doing there damnest to strengthen the squad for a busy season ahead. Hopefully Forster will start for England ahead of " pretty boy - I got no dandruff" Hart.

I obviously want to be proved wrong, but I can't see it. As Abby said I think he will be gone by Jan. I think we need to splash out on a number 9 like Bony who would score 15 plus at a club like ours. Perhaps another midfielder to slot in next to Hojberg as I think Romeu is too hot and cold and Jordy is too lightweight.

I agree with saintdorset regarding the next signings
We need to buy a proven goal scorer 15 - 20 goal a season to: push on, progress, march on, call it what you want
Also a commanding CDM and decent cover for CD
if VVD and Fonte get injured we've no EPL cover in the current squad

Hopefully there have been targets, enquiries and bids will be in place soon


As for Puel and how long his tenure will last, well that's a guessing game in itself, I have to say that I'm not over enthralled by him so far, but then again when RK started I wasn't (I'm not hard to please honest), he obviously needs time to prove himself.

Weahgirl1if are business is determined by the "black box" we shouldn't be doing it now unless the black box says that is how it should be done. Any business that buys its staff in any other industry after 10 percent of the year nearly would b a laughing stock. Buy your targets before pre season and train with them in non essential scenarios. Then when the season starts and the pressure is on you know each other.

Forster for England No 1, then he will be on next years wanted list by top clubs. Liverpool maybe. lol.

Don't get it. Austin played ok. He is never gone a chase if ball doesn't arrive closer than five yards. He is not Long so we need to play a different ball. Sunderland had 1 shot on target and it was a penalty. We will develop. We will be fine. Wiltshire or Swienstiger will do plus Haller and one surprise will do us well tomorrow and then we can play and start winning games.
