and he's selling him to a team that I think doesn't exist
I was wandering when Bolton united would make a bidLosing MVE, Rudoni and now…

You only need 1 GK normally. We have as many GK's as strikers yet still brought in another one.We won’t be signing any strikers until we offload at least one. We’ve spent a lot of money on our strikeforce (although hard to believe)
Have been saying the same. We won't know until about October time because there's a big gap between the Prem and Championship but still have them in the top 6. A manager that never played professional footballer and managed 1 decent side for 1 year. What could go wrong.....I have a few Southampton supporting friends who think they are in real trouble this season. They think the signings are poor and worried about Still plus finances in the background.
Can’t see them paying the £20m needed, and Rudoni wouldn’t want to leave Lampard (his icon) to play for another champ team.
He’s managed over 100 games for French top flight sides.Have been saying the same.

They're not although odds don't always mean a lot.In all estimates of sale or buy prices I am usually at the lower end. But even I think rudoni is 20 m. The risk is that Southampton are odds on an automatic promotion spot whereas we are a play off at best. However I would have thought rudoni would want middle table Prem
1 season at Lens. Then name another decent side.He’s managed over 100 games for French top flight sides.
He managed Reims in the top flight, didn’t he? Thought that was where he started getting noticed.1 season at Lens. Then name another decent side.
Reims are a small club considering. They now play in what is League 2. They are not a big club. As you know I live in France. They would be considered an average Championship side at best. Lens finished in 8th last season. Won 15 games.out of 34. They have some good sides but other than the top sides it's very mediocre. The top.'sport' here is hunting. Football comes 2nd. I have a couple of parcels of woodland that came with my house and the chasse have the right to hunt on it. I'm supposed to get a % of any wild boar if caught on my land.He managed Reims in the top flight, didn’t he? Thought that was where he started getting noticed.
What you were replying to wasn’t big clubs, they said he’s managed 100 games in the top flight. Reims were in the top flight when he managed them. They may have even finished 8th too.Reims are a small club considering. They now play in what is League 2. They are not a big club. As you know I live in France.

Like I said he managed one big club in France for one season. If we had got him instead of Lampard we would have gone ballistic. Never been a pro footballer. One season at a decent French side.

Fair enough, but that’s an opinion. You replied to SeaSeeEffCee after he pointed out Still has managed 100 games in the French top flight. That’s a fact. That’s what I was replying to.This is what I said.
Reims then got relegated from top flight. They are not a good side. Most clubs in the French top flight are not good sides. That's why the Championship is considered to be about the 5th of 6th best division in Europe.
IMHO Lens wouldn't be the best side in the Championship. They would be hoping for the playoffs. If you disagree I will respect your idea of French football. But look at their signings. Sky Sports have distorted football in the favour of the Prem and the clubs in the Championship risking everything to get there.
He was replying to me though on saying he had only managed one decent side.Fair enough, but that’s an opinion. You replied to SeaSeeEffCee after he pointed out Still has managed 100 games in the French top flight. That’s a fact. That’s what I was replying to.
I’m not sure Bassette would score 10 in League 1, never mind 18. Kone’s story in any case is intriguing and suggests he has a high ceiling.Hope Leicester get him. No better than Simms BTA or Wright. Probably a slight upgrade on Bassette.

Apologies to Bolton United

That's what I thought, surely overachieving with a small club is a good achievement and not something you can criticise him forLigue 2 isn't the same as League 2 - it's the French second division. His last season at Reims they finished 9th having lost some of their best players, which is punching well above their weight. When he first took them over they were in relegation battle but they finished 11th. He can't really be blamed for their relegation the season after he left, if anything it shows the decent job he was doing.
I agree with this. I can see him either taking the league by storm and being the managerial flavour of the day like Mckenna was, or being a complete flop.My personal opinion re Still, which I think Southampton fans also share (from what I've seen) is that Still doesn't come from a background where he's won promotions or titles.
His last three seasons in management have shown progression in terms of where Still has managed to get his teams to finish in Ligue 1, but is this enough for a team promotion from the Championship?
Reims 22/23 (11th)
Reims 23/24 (9th)
Lens 24/25 (8th)
He's a bit of an unknown quantity, I guess we will see how well Southampton and Still are fairing come October/November after a solid number of games.
Struggling to get into the Oxford team last year is enough to convince me not worth itWhen he played against us he was a different gravy and was only like 18 at the time. Wouldn’t have minded us picking him up as a back up winger but that’s only going off watching one game. Palace must have also seen what I seen in his game to buy him but obviously difficult to break through there with them doing so well.
Would have been a Cheap buy for £1m though as a back up

if he has joined blackpool and no championship team was interested then he's probably not good enough for usWhen he played against us he was a different gravy and was only like 18 at the time.

I've kept my eye on him since that game. He looked a world beater, was convinced he'd be a regular at Palace by now.

He was only 18 at the time.
