When fit he is certainly a very good player for a team of orur level. Woukd absolutely be keeping im next season. Pre RH in the few games we played well in, Lemina played a huge role. Will be good to see him play in a better Saints team than he has til now.

Mitchell wanted by Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal according to SSN today as well as being offered an expanded role by Red Bull. Surely rules out any chance of him moving here.

I doubt Adams would consider how much Everton paid for Bolasie when deciding whether to move there. Ultimately they have had two poor seasons resulting in top 10 finishes whilst we have been nearly relegated twice. That, plus higher wages on offer would make it hard to justify joining Saints over Everton (should that be the choice he has).

Because pretty much anyone would pick Everton ahead of Saints. See Theo Walcott & Ronald Koeman fpr recent examples. Big investment, top half finishes even after poor seasons, new stadium on the way and ultimately: will pay bigger wages.

Positive in terms of the profile of player we are targetting. I read earlier this week that Everton also want Adams. If that is the case then it will be nigh on impossible to get him, but their interest may not materialise. The two big difficulties will be: 1. Getting rid of our deadwood: Forster, Long, Austin, Carillo, Hoedt, Boufal, Clasie, Targett, McQueen etc 2. Having the same chumps negotiating with other clubs as we had in our last few failed transfer windows.

The Echo says we are unaware of any additional questions, FWIW.

Would arguably be brtter if we were, seeing as Gao has no cash to invest. The whole takeover was such a con.

Is Augustin good? I've not see much of him, but he isn't a regular at Leipzig.

Everton moving for Che Adams. Highly doubt we will get him. You tend to have a window of opportunity to get certain players and if you miss it then you have no chance. For Adams, ours was January.

Mosin - why do you have to compare JWP to Redmond all the time? They both play 90mins every week. They have different roles. They are bith playing really well since RH came in, and Redmond has all season. Whats the problem?!

RH said he had suffered a bit in training. There is a difference between being able to do normal everyday physical activity versus playing PL football. We all saw he had an injury. It was operated on. He came back to training. He had a minor setback. It happens all the time. It happened recently with Bertrand. Why the conspiract theories with Lemina?!

Mosin - what is your opinion of the chance Redmond created for himself in the 2nd half by cutting inside, going past Matip on the outside and having his shot blocked for a corner? Was that not a chance, in your opinion, that Redmond created?! Or the one Long missed from Bertrand's cross? That was created by Redmond too...

FYI - JWP and Redmond can be judged independently of each other. Its entirely possible for both of them to be good, which they have been this season. Redmond is clearly our Player of the Season (judged over the whole season), with JWP, Hojbjerg and Bednarek in the pack behind. They also: - Play in different positions and are not competing for game time - Have different set piece duties - Are totally different types of player In addition, these are one person's subjective ratings. They gave Joel Matip 8/10 when I thought he was poor. They are not facts.

Bertrand back to his best and seems to be enjoying it again. Hopefully extends his contract. Excellent player in defence and attack.

I thought we were excellent. Lack of sub options hampered us and the game swung on the Salah goal which was well taken but avoidable beforehand. We have become a good side but need some quality in attack to give RH more options.

Some baffling and ill informed posts on this thread, which in part highlight the problem. Rose is perfectly entitled to his view IMO. Its a shame he thinks like that, but see the first sentence of my post...

Anyone who gives Mane stick is a bit of an oddball. Great player for us, and provided lots of great memories in the best Saints team for donkeys years.

Cedric will be easy enough to shift I think but the others much less so. Carillo could possibly stay, surely he is a better sub option than Austin and Long? Clasie we can loan for a year until his deal is done. Boufal, Hoedt and Forster are the toughest ones as nobody will want them, including Saints. Key for me is selling the Academy lads who aren't going to make it: McQueen Targett Gallagher Reed Hesketh Jones Probably £20m of income from that lot and we won't miss them.

Bit early to be putting that out there but certainly the best for a while and very promising. Poch turned the team into a PL force and changed the PL perception of Saints. If RH can do similar next season then he would be of a similar level.

Austin least likely to start IMO.

Lemina not in the training pics. Wonder if he is injured again? I had expected him to make the bench on Saturday if he was fit.

I expect a red and white kit kit that will be bought by the same people who bought this years and last years. Hated by some, loved by others and barely considered by most once the actual season starts.

They clearly rate Vokins. He can be Bertrand's backup next season. Sell Targett who will never be a good PL LB. He just doesn't have that extra burst of pace that is needed, and will never have it. Whenever Targett has an extended run in the side we are always begging for Bertrand to return...and we always improve when he does.

Hopefully we try to extend his contract and have him finish his career at Saints. One of our best signings since being back in the PL. Should have taken Fulham's offer for Targett - we will never be offered that much again, he just isn't Pl quality as shown by our improvement since Bertrand has been back (which happens every time he returns from a spell out the team).

Best player on the pitch again yesterday and was the threat we had that Brighton didn't. The central role really suits him. Should have another big season next year in hopefully a better, more confident team. Easily our most consistent player this season.
