Really pissed off - I know we run a tight ship but I would have thought will all the business the other clubs have done we would have at least equalled the spending - we must have made 60m on sales and finishing last is worth 90m and so far we have spent 30m - we have europa league and in my opinion we haven't done enough to fight or show ambition to get out the group let alone try and win the thing.

{Ed002's Note - It is indeed a pity that Southampton didn't just buy for the sake of it as you want. Spend a lot more money - doesn't matter who on - just spend. Are you a Liverpool fan? Do you look like a potato?}

Dear Mr Potato
I am deeply saddened that we have only managed to improve year on year for many years, promotion after promotion. We must in future spend lots of money on average players, 'has been' players and players with attitude.
I have personally written to Liverpool asking if there was any chance we could have Lovren back for 100M . and asked Mr Balotelli if he would forget France and join us; his teamwork, his effort, his team spirit are much needed as is his firework display abilities when we get relegated!

Southampton FC has a system, a belief, a way . that has worked and will continue to work. COYR.

I am reading seeing so many people happy with our business and can not understand it. We are pushing our luck expecting every year investing less to continue to work out. We have replaced good players with good potential! We have more games with the Europa league and started very poorly in the Prem. and we are down at least 4 players in my opinion. striker, imposing midfielder, centre back cover and now right back! No need to overpay I agree but pay something. jesus! Why do we not like loan deals? I just don't get it? Remy, Bony, Wilshere etc. Remy is spot on for us! If you were Virgil, Bertrand etc you must be gutted with lack of ambition. We spent -16m I believe not good enough. especially after the extra tv money and money for position we finished! Don't give me the crap about we invested in new contracts etc. Because everybody else does that too! Long hard season ahead! Arsenal, West Ham and Leicester all away in next 4 games! No way we will not be bottom after that with current form, personnel and tactics. I like our 3 signings but no cover for right back, centre half, and injury prone strikers, no dominant midfield player! Very worried!

Seriously what's with this injury prone crap that people keep saying to make them sound like they know what they're talking about.

Excellent post Rich. Strawbs and gaz-can understand your frustrations and worries. 3 games in with two draws and 1 defeat is not time to panic. Look at the scenario come the 1st of January then weigh the situation up. Pied is no idiot and the board has complete faith ( like myself and others) in him. Calm down lads and keep the faith. I still maintain that we'll finish top 10.

J-rod has been injured for two seasons and Austin has a dodgy knee, Jeeze literally had to spell it out.

Welshgirl . I am betting you are neither Welsh or a girl . your football knowledge is damn fine and your inside knowledge is like you are really Mr Dorset ;-)

Hi rich. I was born in Swansea up in the hills of bonnamine. Brought up in a male dominated family. I was one of the few girls amongst miners, steel workers etc., spent childhood playing on the 'Mumbles' a beach nearby. If you asked my partner if I was a girl he would probably laugh ( we have 3 children - 2 boys,1 girl) . My knowledge of football is on par with the best of you - absolutely crackers about the game. As for Dorset I bet deep down he loves the saints and loves winding a few of you up. No we are not the same and neither are we related. Thanks for asking. Are you male?
