I haven't seen Moi in any of the Dublin pics so guessing he's not. So assume that both Jack and Oriol have picked up knocks then?

I for one do hope that this all blows over and Mario can be reintergrated into the squad when the squad return next week.

Yeah that's what I mean, something special! Exactly what we've been missing at the back. This player has got the lot, can defend, is rapidly fast and strong as a beast.

If Ralph could pull it off and get Upamecano, it would be the biggest coup of all!!

Wish Jordy all the best scored 2 crackers for us. Shame it didnt work out long term but a return to Holland is best outcome for him.

Good news Hopefully he is included in the trip to Dublin.

Who is playing well for you Micky? Taking into account it's only our 2nd friendly so far

Yeah, hes always looked cool, calm and composed for the under 23s. Got a great left foot on him too!

What are these two centre backs like?

Good luck for the future Sam

Top lad, always loved Crouchy even more so when he was with us! Scored some class goals for us too

Ok thanks. I really hope Mario stays

manji - any news on the players that didnt fly out to Austria??

Yeah I agree with this. He seems very hungry to break into the first team as soon as possible and he has got all the qualities to succeed. I think he will be in Ralph's thoughts already.

Great news this!

I think he will end up there to be honest. They are even favourites to sign him on skybet. He doesn't fit the criteria of player that Ralph is looking for.

So any of the itkers got any info on any potential CB targets?

Alfie Jones has just joined Gillingham on a season long loan deal. That's quite interesting as this decision has been made very quickly and I thought that Ralph may want to have a look at him in pre-season. Good move for Alfie though and im sure we will keep an eye on his progress. https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2019-07-02/alfie-jones-southampton-gillingham-loan-move-announcement

Sad to see Matt leave as hes a local lad and one of our own. But ultimately it came down to wanting to play regular first team football and he werent going to get it here with Ryan the clear cut first choice. I thank him for his service and some great delivereys for vital goals (especially the one for Ingsys header vs Arsenal last season). Good luck Matt, I'm sure your thrive at Villa

Good! Danny Ings, hes one of own!

Welcome Che Excited by your arrival, cant wait to see you smashing the goals in next season

Hope this is true!

I wondered who the different CB could be that we have since targeted. Possible options hopefully one of these: Upamecano Konate Zouma Saliba 4 top quality options. Here's hoping

Agree with you here K,Billy. I still think Ralph will take a look at Sofiane when he reports back for pre season training.

This 100%. Ralph has already said he will have a look at Sofiane in pre-season.
