Hope Tomas gets a run out against Blackpool, with his record he should bag a few!!! at least he adds some height to the team also which is something we are lacking especially at set pieces.

Hopeful of a good result against Blackpool, just hope there is a good crowd there that this team deserve.

COYR!!

I thought we had seen the last of the PR overkill on this subject.

He's not even a Saints player so we wont get any readies like Walcott and Bale. Who it has to be said still need to prove themselves.

Not that Lowe realises but Southampton Football Club existed before 1997.

Youth promotion is nothing new and will never be beaten when the likes of the Wallaces, Shearer, le tissier all coming through.

Sorry Rupes you dont walk on water afterall.


No doubt Peckart came to Saints because he more or less can live still in london.

I cant wait for the first installment of 'Wildes column'.

In fairness the reason this bloke mentioned Bale & Walcott is because he probably hasn't heard of The Wallaces & le tissier being that he's 19 and from Prague

Sorry Proper Football Chairman, you are a sad, deluded and bitter person. We cannot live in the past, and your anti Lowe reteric is now boring. You are actualy sugesting that this young man is a liar, and in reality he did join Saints because of our track record with developing young players etc. Stop being negative and get your sad old body down to St Mary's on Saturday, you never know you might still have a flicker of positivity in your body. COYR.

What a crap posting, In case you had not noticed we are currently trying to avoid relegation or even possible promotion. If you had seen any recent games you will realise we do need height and strength up front, we also need more ability at the back which I believe JPV has tried to do with his 2 most recent loan signings. Whilst I appreciate that you may have a point of view then at least make it relevant to the article you are posting on, the days of Wallace Shearer Le Tiss are not here any more and the stark reality is that we are in sh&%, the coach is trying his best with what he has got and as of this date he has not done to bad. The fact that we wil not earn money from a sale is irrelevant numpty we do not own him (hence the word loan), we should be happy that he has agreed to come here and could possibly fit in to a young, eager, skillfull team that is good enough for me considering our current plight.

I cannot stand the sight of Lowe, however JPV and the rest of his set up have a task at hand and are trying to stand up to the challenge, thus we must support him or f$#% off and support someone else, I know of a nearby team that has supporters that are a complete bunch of to@@ers maybe you would be better suited with them.

Ahh ive not actually said anything about the players old bean. Im merely highlighting the obvious overkill of PR. Wallaces and Le tissier etc are because Lowe seems to think bringing youth through is something he has ever done. Not got a issue with Porto either so your wrong again. The article talks about 'big money' and ive merely pointed out that the lad is on loan.

Again where have i said im not supporting the dutch ? "Numpty"

I really don't want this team being put in the public eye like this as too much exposure for our players at this level is normally fatal to our chances of keeping them. The first time the premiership gets a look at Schlinderin and Llalana the vultures will descend on SMS and that will be it for our hopes of keeping them here past January. To all our young players look at what moving away from SMS has done for Theo Walcots carrer... yeah i thought so.

What a wally, the Daily Echo is a local paper with football coverage dedicated to one team. Given that they need to have news on Saints EVERY DAY it is a given that there will be occasional articles like this, particularly when if there is a new signing complimenting our club and explaining why he came to us instead of a rival!

Stop being paranoid, start being a saint!

I agree your post was cr@p. Now you are trying to squirm out of it like the slime ball you obviously are.

Whatever your opinion of Lowe he has a reputation within the game for establishing one of the best academies in the country. Yes in the past there were some great players coming through from the youth set but it had stagnated.

The new management set up is producing what the fans want, something that has been missing for years, attractive, passionate football. Get behind the team and stop being so negative.

As anyone who's seen my postings will know, I'm not usually one to stand up for people moaning, but in this case I can kind of see Proper Football Chairman's point on the PR tone of this story – it is a bit blatant.

Still, I imagine it was taken from the Saints site and any club website is obviously going to go a bit over the top on PR and find the required angle. You'd expect that.

If I was writing for the Saints site, I'd probably do the same – that's the job.

No doubting our current faith in youth though, so I can see it would be something that would legitimately attract players.

hope a large crowd turn up but with the opposition and camera's there i doubt it. this team derserve a large crowd to cheer them on im optimistic that this could very well be a good season for us but there is a little horrible taste in the back of my throat that it all go tits up and we will struggle fingers crossed it does'nt

Then try reading about him Osama. He is the leading scorer in Spurs Reserves with a run rate of 2 goals every 3 games. He was/is held out of their side because of Keane/Berbatov/Bent so only gets reserve games. That's why he is coming to us on loan so he can get first team games. He is also his country's leading U21 scorer so he has a track record.
I expect when he has bagged a few, you will also be hailing him as a success. Try taking the optomistic route first. If he can be on the books of a top Premiership team, he has to be good.

That's harsh...to be fair, he's got a point, our club has been well-known for many decades for producing top quality talent (you could go as far back as you want...the 20's for example)..but why should we listen to a man who got his mates to pose as saints fans on a messageboard to attempt to split the fan base and failed miserably last time? (the Gibbon incident ring any bells?)

I'm not detracting from what a good signing this is, but on the point above, how do we know these people who are quite frankly going over the top at "proper football chairman" arnt just another load of "Ex Chairman"'s gang?...or indeed Cowen

I hate these kinds of storeys (not that i dont understand why they exist) It's like when we signed Anders Svensson and he claimed to have supported us since he was a boy. How stupid do these football muppets think we are? Just say i have signed to gain expierience and to get mself noticed enough to have a go at making the Spurs first team.

The paranoia regarding PR and so called Lowe and Wilde plants posting on here is unfounded. Some of us are prepared to give the new set up a chance, we are not Lowe luvvies or PR plants.

Now we have what could prove to be a very good loan signing and still there are idiots like Proper Football To$$er who will twist the news into an irrational anti Lowe (which is really an anti Saints) rant in a pathetic attempt to put a negative spin on encouraging news.

Gullible and hook line and sinker is what i could say and Lowe still reels them in.

Lowe im afraid hasnt got a reputation at all in the game regarding the academy. A couple of players have come through and still need to make the grade. That is not anything special when you take the PR overkill out of it. Lowe just ramps it up to hide his many failings that have left once a great club limping.

Youth player production doesnt produce a constant reel of players. No club in the country does that inc Man U and Liverpool.

The last time i looked we had no choice but to play these reserve players as Lowe and Wilde are not putting their hands in the pocket.

Im not sure where im not getting behind the team with your assumption. Im merely highlighting PR overkill.

I was happy with Gordon Strachans football and thus its all down to what sort of manager you employ.

Amazing how many thickos the internet breeds who simply cant read english.

What's the difference between people who you say are blind to what's happening now and people who seem to make up a fantasy picture of Saint's past?

Unless I'm mistaken our team still wasn't "great" in the days of Le Tiss and the Wallaces, at least not for more than for a season.

They were great players, but the team wasn't in terms of results for the most part.

And you seem to forget that (bar the one guy who was either incredibly loyal or unusually content where he was) all those "great players" were sold as they reached their peak.

Bizarrely at that time I think people accepted it though and blamed the player's rather than the club.

You have to go further back to look for a "great" Saints team and then you're going back to a time you can't compare with the modern era.

Not to say I didn't enjoy watching them then, but from what you're saying you'd not think we'd been dodging relegation for 10 years before it actually happened.

The guy has a right to an opinion.

Why accuse a fellow fan of all sorts.

Who is it that’s actually being negative here?

All i see on this site now is anyone that has a different opinion than "Lowe is great" being shouted down.

I don’t hate RL. I just don’t agree with some of his policies.

The team are currently playing well, as you say, attractive, passionate football. PV success should be measured at the end of the season (that includes Fans reaction to tomorrows result)

borrrrrring, wasn't this about a new striker we've got?

What recent 'record' ?

Is Adam Leitch being paid by Lowe to write this stuff ?
