New signing will bring star quality to Saints (From Daily Echo)

Bringing in an African player with pace and passion can never be a bad thing.

Sounds like a nice guy too.

Sort of the opposite of Guly...

Guly........who isn't African.

sounds like a great purchase
passionate as well.

I was wondering if Guly is also guilty
of drunken passing.

Guly knockers.

People get confused by the quality of the suntan.

I didn't say he was African! read.

HE'S BIG, HE'S QUICK
HIS NAMES IN A **** FLICK
EMMANUEL,
EMMANUEL.

P0RNO

Come On guys let's get off the pulling our players to bits band wagon !! Guly, fox and fonte have all served the club well , wether they are premiership quality is subject to opinion but they give 100% which is all we as fans can ask for , good luck Emmanuel sure you will bring some much needed pace to the team and the proposed other transfers can only strengthen the squad

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can people stop knocking Guly!!!!!!!!

On his day he is one of the better players at this club. You are probably the same "fans" that used to criticise Le Tiss for "not tackling back".

Just follow the team and stop moaning, FFS!

Totally agree with Scarborosaint.The echo website seems to be plagued wth trolls who have probably never been within a mile of St Marys.

Spot on.

These are quality players who have delivered what was expected and served this club well. If for any reason (and it is far too soon to say) they cant do it in the premiership then they will move on. Thats how it works.
No discredit to them just maximum respect for being part of the greatest recovery a south coast football team has seen in donkeys years.

It's part of being a football fan to banter and complain from time to time but when it becomes just a flock of sheep baaaaing because they have nothing original to say then its just mindless babble.

Anyway - I'm just beaming with these latest signings. Once the CB is signed you all need to take a moment and look at our squad... AWESOME .. in the true sense of the word. Soon we will recover from the cruelty of the early fixtures being against the top clubs and we will rise up the table like an Apollo rocket.

Before anyone jumps in I know we lost against Wigan..These things happen..... but its all a learning experience.

With this squad we are going to learn again what its like to support a top flight premiership team!!

Get behind these new faces, have belief, have faith. The club is delivering on its promises ... we all need to reciprocate !!!!

I think to add to the Guly point, perhaps those 'fans' should have some faith in NA. He picks the team and has led us back to the promised land after so much pain - if he feels Guly deserves to play then lets trust him hey?
I imagine if we let any of you lose on team selection we would not be once more a Premier League team so stick to your day jobs.

I like what I have just read and feel that this is the kind of player we want, I also feel that Ramirez could be the opposite, his refusal to play even though he is still under contract to another club worries me as he could be using us as a stepping stone and could do the same to Southampton

Another plonker up front for saints just like Billy Blunt who rarely gets a proper game. May be a few beers with boozer Guly during the early hours before games will improve the new striker's eye for goal..No guess not.
1-3 man utd

Likewise. Not a good first impression of his character and professionalism. Let’s hope he makes up with his goal scoring prowess.

I see on your skunt site you are making a "double swoop", we all hope that shops and pub's in the skunt area are aware and have put thicker chains on charity collection boxes

Welcome Mayaka ! Score for us Sunday.... It's all good news boys !

You reek of insecurity fella, I can smell your complex from here.
You drop your pooh then run to a new page and hide as you can’t ever come up with a worthy response to your inane tripe, I feel for you for your lack of life and imagination.
Your work is done on here old skunt as you have exposed yourself to your peers.
That is all, jog on.

In a sense I agree. But we really don't know the complete circumstances behind Ramirez.

If we look at the events as they have unfolded (throughout the media) and take into consideration on how frustrated we have become over all of this as fans, imagine how the player must feel.

By all accounts a deal was struck between Southampton and Bologna (I assume this may be close to the truth as the club allowed the player to talk to Saints). Ramirez agrees a deal with Saints, with NA & NC selling the ambition of the club to the young lad he is now in a position where he has set his heart on coming to Saints... The lad can't wait to play for his new team and show what he can do, mentally he has left Bologna and is looking at the new chapter in his life.

Then, the president of Bologna suddenly announces that there are still points to be settled before the transfer goes through. It then appears he has moved the goal posts and shortly after it seems that the deal may be off (our Cortese is not to be messed with).

Now, put yourself in to the shoes of the player... He has been sold the idea and ambition of Saints, he then sets his heart on joining Saints because of the ambition of the club and to be able to play in the Premier League. Then, in a sudden twist you find out that the deal may not go through due to deal changes by the selling club. All that you thought was going to happen is now in danger of collapsing... You know Saints want you and you know they have told you that you will be a key part to their team. You are emotionally sold on the idea and now it seems that this will all be taken away from you... after all the talks and developments, the move collapses...

How do you react?

I am not saying this is right, but we need to often see various sides to a story, football is after all, a very emotional sport.

He may well use us as a stepping stone, but if he does well and we do sell him on in future then I am sure it will be for beneficial profit for Saints.

On a different thread, anyone else like me, feels the new saints player is crap! I mean the web site and not one of the new signiings, lol.As a remote fan its been a great ( when working properly ) tool but was always unreliable now they've "improved " it which means it takes much longer to load and when you do finally get into it you then have to sign in even for basic information whereas before you could at least read updates without signing in. All round its total crap in my opinion and im seriously considering cancelling, thought before i did I'd see if anyone else shared my view. meanwhile, seems like a decent signing above, maybe the main one tomorrow, wouldnt want to be Sharp, Rickie or Fonte or De Ridder right now, I'd be thinking, "what have I done wrong to deserve this" Looks like those that got us up are being given short shrift to me, not nice and only bareable if it works. Thought Harding had a decent game for N forest other night as well. Oh well, fingers crossed for a result Sunday. COYR

Absolutely Folkestone Saint, I think we have all been there... When you have handed in your notice and you have to work your months notice whilst mentally you want to get stuck into your new job, it is really difficult to motivate yourself.

Lets hope whatever happens we are all together as one and start picking up points soon.

Onward and upward

Come on you Saints.

I've never used Player, but I just tried to subscribe. When I inout my details and email address, it told me that the email address was already registered.

When I then tried to sign in as an existing customer, it let me, BUT I cannot view any videos and have never paid any subscription fees.

Do other people have these problems?

Yes I have had these problems. I followed the "help" section and the new upgraded player uses the very latest flash player plugin... which I can't download unless I buy the latest operating system!!!

Rubbish. And I only signed up to Player 2 months ago for a whole year. £40 down the drain. I need it as I can't get the Solent radio commentary where I am unless I have player.....

sounds weird but now we are in the prem just Google "football streams" and you will get loads of websites that will give you every saints game home & away, quality sucks but it is better than nowt.
given the choice at a reasonable cost I would fork out for this stuff with guaranteed legality but until then I can happily watch Russian or Korean (now Japanese too) TV for free (their half time stuff is hilarious). not so long ago if an away match was sold out they showed it (for a fee) in a lounge or concourse at St Mary's, I'd love to see that service back again.

Saints Player a real rip off. So I listen to Radio 5 live when they are the featured match.

Good post.

A further point to add, I feel, is that we should keep in mind the psychology of the club president. After all, it is he that accused Ramirez of threatening not to train.

Gualdi (sp?) has already sold several of the team's most talented players (they aren't in the best place financially) and is unpopular with the fans. There have been protests outside the club over the Ramirez signing. The President stands to benefit from directing some of the angst towards 'traitor' Ramirez and away from himself.

What we have heard about this saga suggests to me that el presidente isn't entirely trustworthy, so I could believe this...

Dear Southampton soccer fans, great moments are here for you to enjoy the games.Let the tech bench try Emmanuel Mayuka of zambia thrill your hearts...great striker and entertaining on the pitch....Emmanuel do your thing..you can deliver usually when all hopes fade.

Simo

Nice bet for goals..MAYUKA EMMANUEL the copper bullet !

Kalusha Bwalya did us proud and you are the latest on the scene.

To the coach pls let Emmanuel play the last 25 minutes of the first game...you will be assured of a goal, this Sunday.

Bost Makoye (Mazabuka- Zambia)

Congratulations Mayuka! Zambian soccer fans believe you are talented, you always send waves of joy in pubs, homes and in the stadium.

Turning 360 degrees amidst three defenders is spectacular, and even glaring to goal keepers.

I have used Player for a number of years now. Initially it was fraught with technical issues which have improved quite considerably over the years. Load times are always a problem though with Player, as is logging in. To be honest I have not noticed any difference with the upgrade, which has left me wondering why the price increase.

On the other hand, I think the new official site layout is absolute shyte - it's all over the place, difficult to navigate, stats are not updated... not user friendly at all.
