Southgate's a tactical gimp. Games are won in midfield and we've had no midfield all tournament. Henderson passes backwards, Lingard and Alli run away from the ball. We haven't created any chances for Kane from open play in any game. This one's done - heads have gone. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Can you really be a box to box midfielder if you're physically spent after an hour? I would've thought stamina was a requirement of the role. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Proven at what? He's had one mediocre season in the Premier League for a relegated side who shipped goals as soon as they switched tactics from parking the bus every week. I don't see the point in spending a fortune on someone no better than what we've already got. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Bit worrying that Denmark can't find a place in their defence for a player we're supposed to be interested in ahead of Ipswich, Brentford and Huddersfield's finest. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

3 years, 4 goals and 2 ACL injuries. Pace - his main asset - gone. That's got successful signing written all over it. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Two full seasons of being utterly unfit for purpose. A pointless player. He can only chase the ball. Like a dog. Can't do anything with it. Also like a dog. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Barcelona are looking to offload Yerry Mina. Absolute beast in the air - exactly what we need at CB. Pre-World Cup they were hoping to recoup the €13m they spent on him. Price has probably risen since then, but he'd still be cheaper than Championship mediocrity Ben Gibson. Wonder why we're supposedly sniffing around Marlon when his superior teammate is available.

That's just what we've been lacking... Hope the lad's got a hell of a jump on him. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

They could just not loan out their very good English keeper Jamal Blackman. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

He concedes an awful lot of goals that don't go in the corner of the net. Not sure it's a size issue - Lloris seems to do okay in spite of a similar stature. Pickford's just a bit crap, imho. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

One for each of our goalkeeping coaches. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

I doubt Gunn will want to be backup when he's already good enough to be first choice at any Championship club and a fair few Premier League teams. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Guess we're not signing Gunn then. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Four goals in three years, pace has gone, knees are held together with sellotape and staples. Sign him up... Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

"Highly-rated". Is that by Les or Ross? Or the Football Manager spreadsheet nerd? Good luck to him - I don't think much of the signing, but he's a Saint now and I hope he's a raging success. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Assuming Hughes is going to bother with wingers/wide attackers (the "Southampton Way") and not keep playing 5-3-1-1, I'd be happy enough with Sims and Redmond as the "junior" widemen, with first choice starters being signed to replace Tadic and Boufal. Links to quality wingers are a bit thin on the ground at the moment, though, so I'm not feeling hopeful. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Strachan took a bunch of appalling ex-Celts with him to Boro and made a poor Championship side worse. Not sure his judgement is always bang on. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Yes please. Terrific prospect. Never going to get a chance at City with two international keepers ahead of him, but he's good enough to be out there at the WC with England - and would be if he was playing in the Premier League. Great investment. Unless it's a loan, of course. Guess tha means we're cashing in on McCarthy. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

He actually ruined the game for me. Just wouldn't shut the fudge up about all the "seismic" implications of a result that had yet to happen. On and on and on - ffs, just annouce who has passed the ball and to whom. It requires no further editorialising. ITV are and always have been the pits. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Same reason he only started 14 games last season in a League One standard league: he's not really very good. I'm starting to think rumours about us being in for Geoff bloody Cameron might not be far off the mark... Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Poor man's James Morrison. Squad player at best. Very underwhelming signing, in my opinion. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Squeeze a few more quid out of Fulham and negotiate a decent sell on clause and I'd take the deal. McQueen is decent back up, Vokins is on the way if things get desperate, and if we sell Bertrand he'll have to be replaced by a new signing. Targett isn't good enough to be first choice for us, never will be (unless we drop down the divisions). Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

There aren't that many SW posters. Oh, you said cuts... Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

We signed him for about £13m. It doesn't ring particularly true that we'd then give him a £15m release clause when he renewed his contract two years ago (when, at the same time, we sold Mane for £35m-ish). £15m in this market for a starting player we could never replace for probably much less than double that amount would be poor business. But who knows - things behind the scenes have certainly seemed sloppy and complacent in recent years. Maybe they really have given him a stupidity low release clause. Tadic is a curate's egg. There are often times during the season when you'd be more than happy to drive him to a new employer, but there's no doubt when he engages he's our best attacker. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Did well to pass a medical on crutches with his knee in a brace - I had visions of another first season Boufal type of signing if we got him. But we didn't. So good luck to him and move on. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk
