Thread | Season Ticket Bolt On's
by Southamptonfan at 21:08 26 Jul 2024
Can anyone shed any light on what these are. I don't want one, just want to understand why anyone would get one and whether it's fair. It says "Cup and away priority" for silver and gold. What does this mean? Those who have bought bolt on's can get an away ticket before those without bolt on's?
So in practice, a fan with gold bolt on who hasn't been to any away games quite fancies going to Bournemouth away, so gets priority over those who have have been to lots of away games? |

The way to stop the rumours is to do all of your business as early as possible. The best chance we have of surviving in the Prem is to do all of your business as early as possible, after all 1 point could make the difference..
While I appreciate that’s easier said than done, we have loaded our early business in the defence and haven’t brought in a single attacker yet we’ve lost 2 including Stuey.
I am really concerned that whoever we bring in now has missed pre season and will take time to gel. Romano is reporting that Atalanta are in pole position for O’Riley and I can’t understand why we didn’t tie this one up weeks ago. Happy to spend 20 million on a CB but faffing around with the player we most need to stay up. This seems crazy to me. I know we have to be patient but I am yet to have the confidence in our board in respect of transfers after buying a load of kids which saw us relegated. I hope they prove my concerns to be wasted energy very soon but we really haven’t got ourselves prepared for the season and haggling over a few million could be a false economy if we finish 2 places lower than if we were prepared.
We have made some great purchases but again we’re frighteningly short in attack and trying to buy a Ferrari with Fiat funds offering 14 for O’Riley judging by his record. |

Comment | Southampton Receive Formal Transfer Request In Writing From Player

Ralph brought him in and wingers to provide him. The club immediately sacked Ralph and subsequent managers, including the current one, didn't know how to utilise his talent!
Only once did I see a high cross for him to attack. 20 yards out and hit the post. Seen him play 3 times in Turkey. He'd flourished in the PL: he has a beast of a shot . Like a Peter Crouch upgrade.
I feel sorry for him having been messed about by the club. Hope his next dream has a better outcome |

We could always loan him to Goztepe?
It seems to me that Trabsonzpor want him for next to nothing, lets call their bluff and say £10 million (or there about) or he stays with us and gets loaned out.
I appreciate that its not his fault that Nathan Jones didn't last or that he doesn't fit Russels style but we can't afford to just give him away! |

Not only is he untried at PL level, he also likes to run at defenders from deep?
Will he be allowed to do that under our system, around 80% of our passes are collected with back to goal. How many time did we play a ball for a winger to run onto, very few! We seem to sign wingers and try to turn them into wing backs, which is weird, considering an attacking FB would cost a lot less than a winger.
Personally I would rather we kept our money on this one and put it towards ensuring we get O'Reily and A N other decent striker? |

According to SSN the deal has fallen through
"West Ham's move for Bayern Munich right-back Noussair Mazraoui has broken down.
An agreement had been reached between the clubs but it's thought financials and details around the contract couldn't be agreed upon."
West Ham are now pursuing other targets |

I'm with WoolstonSaint. Imagine finally fulfilling your dream of getting a move to the Premier League - almost certainly his one and only shot at it. Being sold the club and how you'd be our saviour from relegation, giving it everything you've got - even if that's not enough or the wrong style - only to hardly be given a game.
Our scouting and how much we decided to fork out for him in desperation is hardly Paul Onuachu's fault. If we've paid so massively over the odds for a player that only a handful of clubs are now interested in at comparatively low money, then that's on us not him.
It's obvious that RM doesn't want him to play for us, we're committed to RM for a while, so it's time to cut our losses, get the best offer from whoever wants him and move on. Hopefully learning some lessons on the way. Lessons that the club seems to have ignored over many years and different owners. |

By putting in a formal transfer request I believe this means the player waives the right to any loyalty bonuses etc. thus saving the selling club (Saints) some money. From tall Paul’s perspective I guess the hope is that Saints would be more inclined to receive a lower fee if they haven’t got to pay out to him. Given the relative lack of service he has given Saints I would say that waiving his right to loyalty bonus should be a bare minimum! |

good news will allow Sugawara to settle in but I think KWP will go, unless he signs a new contract soon. The only other thing of concern is the amount of wingers we are being connected with. ours biggest needs are CF and CM? Why do we keep buying promising young wingers when we have two of our own? Wingers that, under RM's system, don't really get to play as out & out wingers, due to the nature of possession based, risk adverse football. Sulemana is a great example of wasted talent and money, there is definitely a lot of ability but it's never been truly utilised.
Lets spend a bit bigger where the need is the greatest up front and midfield centrally, bring back Fraser and utilise the wingers we have. |

Where is he? For someone who needs game time has he played any part yet?
Did we really sign someone who is not gonna ever make a real impression |
