He was named manager of Southampton on 17 July 2009. High tempo, quick passing football is the name of the game. Utilizing the full width of the pitch with wingers and attacking full backs. The holding central midfielder is there to sit in front of the back four and break up attacks and start them for Saints. The central striker acts as a target man and has pace and skill on either flank. Goalkeepers Current number one keeper is Kelvin Davis with two young keepers; Polish under 21 international Bartosz Bialkowski and summer purchase from Tottenham Hotspur Tommy Forecast battling it out for the number two spot. Youngster to watch = Andrej Pernecky Left Backs Summer signing Dan Harding is the current incumbent of this postion in the Southampton side. Youngster to watch = Joseph Mills Right Backs Academy graduate Lloyd James has converted from his normal central midfield position to establish himself as the clubs right back. Veteran Graeme Murty joined in the summer and challenges him for the shirt. Centre Backs First choice are Tunisian captain Radhi Jaidi and loanee Neal Trotman. Chris Perry, Oliver Lancashire and Wayne Thomas provide cover. Youngster to watch = Aaran Racine Central Midfielders French youth international Morgan Schneiderlin comfortable on the ball he like to sit in front of the defense and break out quickly. Former Colchester captain Dean Hammond covers every blade of grass to break down opposition attacks and start his own plays alongside Chelsea and England under 19 player Jacob Mellis with cover from experienced former Plymouth Argyle captain Paul Wotton. Morgan Schneiderlin Attacking Midfielders Adam Lallana broke into the first team and the end of 2007/08 season and has this season made the left sided forward spot his own. A naturally gifted player he has excellent technique both in distributing the ball and running at defenders. Papa Waigo can also play in this position if needed. Papa Waigo There is a lot of competition for these places in the Saints team. Kayne McLaggon, Jake Thomson and Joseph Mills all very useful assets. Youngster to watch = Jake Thomson Strikers Last seasons League One top scorer and £1.5m signing Rickie Lambert would be the obvious choice for the strikers role. Waiting in the wings are academy graduate Matthew Paterson, Polish international Marek Saganowski and Irish international David Connolly. Youngster to watch = Matthew Paterson Rickie Lambert My tips for success with Southampton Pardew's 433 formation a try. Due to the big money backing from a billionaire spend the money very wisely to keep in his good books. Make full use of the strong youth set up at the club Make Papa Waigo's loan permanent in the Summer Try to loan quality young players from the Premiership and upper Championship clubs in problem positions. Make a 4 year plan for a promotion push back to the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_clark Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Signed Sol Campbell, Michael Mifsud on frees. Leigertwood £400k, Jay Demerit £700k, David Wright £420k. Sold Forecast, Gillett, Pulis, Perry, trying to sell Wotton. Was going to sign Mellor but his physical stats looked terrible.

calvin Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Great OP Matthew, congrats. You really made me wanna try Southampton, started a demo game last night and it will be the starting team when I have the full version (which will be a new save)! Just played my first 2 friendlies and won them, playing your 'suggested' squad, or Pardew's formation. I brought in Bostock (on loan), Mellor (p/ex) and David Wright from Ipswich. Joe Martin from Blackpool should be on his way, a fantastic signing according to my scouts. I hope to loan Barazite, Gosling or Weiss to support the attack. Stefanovic, Pelé or Campbell could join on a free (one of them). Can't wait to get off work and start playing again :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean3h Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 After having a look through the topic I thought a Southampton game looked very interesting, so gave it a go. I've made a few signings, got Gavin Hoyte and Febian Brandy in on loan (Brandy was sent as Utd are my parent club), signed Pele and Stefanovic on frees, bought Scott Muggleton and also Jonathan Cristaldo from Velez, who's doing amazingly so far. I'm playing him up top on his own in the "Poacher" role, and he's doing really well. I could probably do with another winger, but I'm fairly low on funds and people like Wilshere, Weiss and Barazite have gone elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I've only really made 3 signings in my Southampton sav thus far: As of August 08 2009: Isaiah Osbourne - Loan - Aston Villa (3½ stars Quality player for League 1) Christian Vieri - Free - Unattached (3 stars Big game experience up front can't hurt) Carl Ikeme - £275,000 - Wolves (3 stars. on par with Davis but can replace him in the long run) I also loaned in Magnus Eikrem as a back up to the AM spot Signed Luka Senicanin (Serbian) after the Trialists match and am awaiting a wp on Bakary Soro (3½ star DRC, "Leading Championship Star") I sold off Jake thomson & Lee Holmes as I play a wingless 4-5-1 Linked with Arsenal as my Parent club... waiting to see who they'll send. Had to choose from Arsenal, Chelsea & Everton. I felt Arsenal had better youth players so yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pb1uk Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hello all, Just thought i'd add to the discussion what transfer deals i've made, so here goes: In: Pele free - brought him back and has formed a solid partnership with jaidi. Mikele Leigertwood 400k - played infront of the back 4, very solid and scored a couple of belters. Jonathan Cristaldo 850k - Bit hit and miss but have high hopes, stats wise should be a legend in the future. Jordan Henderson loan from sunderland - Good squad and rotation player. Lauren free - Needed a right back as thought murty and james weren't up to scratch, on a free hasn't disappointed. Gary McSheffrey Birmingham Loam - Competition with holmes down the left, has impressed so far. Out: Anthony Pulis Wrexham 1.5k Callum McNish qpr 160k Paul Wotton Notts c 160k Simon Gillet Sheff u 100l And sent Lancashire and prenecky out on loan I'm almost at the end of september and am 14th in the table pld 9 w7, d1, l1. Defeat was away to charlton which was slightly unlucky. Low point was going out of the league cup away to brighton on pens, did get revenge in johnsons paint trophy though!

Aytumious Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Edgar Ivan Pacheco is a great pickup for an attacking player. Silviu Lung Jr. is also a great pickup in goal.

Oswaldo Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I thought I would make my first post in this thread since I have finished my first season. I managed to finish in 3rd despite the -10 and gained promotion through the play offs. I highly recommend signing these two players who both put in massive performances for me throughout the season James Rodriguez AM LC bought for 1 mil Eman Motaeb ST bought for 350k Here are my transfers in for the first season Bostock (Loan) Chester (Loan) Rodriguez (Banfield 1 mil) Motaeb (Al-Ahly 350k) Camara (free) Players Out Lancashire (Sheff Utd 180k) Paterson (Peterborough 900k) Pernecky (Crawley 1k) Forecast (Gillingham 20k) Gillet (Shrewsbury 110k) Molyneux (Oxford 6k) I played a 442 and for the most part my team was GK Davis LB Harding RB Murty CB Jaidi CB Chester LM Mills RM Waigo CDM Schneiderlin/James/Hammond CAM Rodriguez/Lallana/Bostock ST Lambert/Saganowski ST Motaeb/Camara Lambert, Saganowski and Motaeb scored over 20 goals each and Camara who joined in January scored 13. I have just played my first game in the championship with a convincing 3 nil away win at Palace. i have revamped my squad by mainly signing free transfers and selling the fringe players at the club Players In Montgomery (Sheff Utd free) Simpson (Man Utd free) Silvestre (Arsenal free) Coquelin (Arsenal free) Lansbury (Arsenal free) Chester (Man Utd free) Paolo Jorge (free) Taarabt (Spurs free) Grounds (Middlesborough 300k) Players out Murty Perry Thomas Poke Pulis All released Hammond (Hearts 1mil) McNish (Stoke 600k) Gobern (Notts Forest 800k) White (Bradford 500k) Wotton (Crewe 28k) I have told the board that I will achieve a mid table finish but am hoping to maybe finish top half.

mdornukgi Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Just a quick tip for anyone starting, after a few weeks do a search for transfer listed players but keep the asking price low as in 50k, their were some bizarre asking prices for some decent players. One striker was worth 1.4mil and saking price was 0 only reason i couldn't sign him was because of work permit. I bought a decent DM called Daniel Imhof for 55k from bochum.

TJH Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Started 2010 over the weekend and managed to get about three week into the game. Spent the first evening revamping my backroom team, Out Went – Ass Manager, Wilkins, GK Coach, Murdoch, and Youth team Coaches Crocker and Moore. The Ass Manager position is yet to be filled with numerous rejections so far. Mervin Day has arrived as GK Coach, Albiston and McCloud in on the youth side. The Scouting Network has been sorted bringing in Whitehead, McKay and Crowd favourite Glenn Cockerill, to scour the country for talent. Signings in the first few weeks have seen, Centre back Pele arrive on a free and a young Spanish Centre back from Barcelona arrive for 170k Out have gone Thomas for 70k to Bristol City and Pulis for about 1k to somebody toilet. Most of the youngsters are off on loan to get some experience. Results have been promising thumping Hereford 6-0, GH Acdemey 5-0 (with the kids playing the second half) and Cheltenham 4-0. That’s me so far I will update you over the next few days with what happens next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kier Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Currently at the end of January, and doing really well, currently first in the table with 53 points. Brought in John Bostock, James Chester on loan, and paid 190k for Emad Motaeb, who has been a killer buy, currently worth £1.6m as well. Looking at buying Bostock and Chester, but not too sure yet.

waztap Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I wanted a challenge so thought i would try this out pre-season i brought in some good players on a free and some loanees aswell Being a spurs fan i wanted a couple of there youth prospects and managed to get danny rose on loan for the season my start went really well and i went 13 games unbeaten in the league but knocked out of the league cup but then the charlton job became available and i thought i would declare my interest but didn't get it but then results turned and i lost the next 4 games grrr a change of formation and some players who hadn't been getting a game and i got a win followed by 2 losses and 3 draws so the watford job comes up so i declare my interest and next thing im sacked grrrrr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan82 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Anyone been promoted yet? What kind of money do you get for winning the league? Really enjoying my tine with the saints atm, Lambert & Saganowski are immense, think they are just about to break the 60 goals barrier. Just been knocked out of FA Cup 6th rd v Notts Forest. 3pts behind 1st with about 9 games to go. Anyone know how Lambert and Saganowski perform in championship? Want to keep them both but thinking of selling Saganowski in summer. Only due to his age and hopefully can get a good price for him, worrying thing though, his value was 900k at start of season, only valued at 375k now.
