He is the best central midfielder we have had in the last 10 or 15 years though.

Interesting thanks. Di Marzio usually reliable.

I believe he has paid off their debts and they are likely to announce plans for a new stadium shortly. Obviously has had little impact so far (aside from fronting up the dough to poach Koeman from us) but seems from most reports like they are going to start investing in a pretty big way, will be interesting to see if they can get anywhere near top 4 over the next 5 seasons or so because its so difficult.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/ronald-koeman-hoping-special-relationship-9513578 These comments won't go down well. But he did similar with us when talking about players like Vilhena.

Alex Crook is typing away furiously right now.

Can only find an Everton link.

With a €45m buyout and Sporting wanting near that he would be pricy. You never know but seems a lot for a Jan buy. http://sportwitness.co.uk/ruben-semedo-southamton/

Spot on from the club in every aspect. Lets just hope its more accurate than the Sam Wallace Mane story from a few days before we sold him.

We won't pay him what Everton will. Thats prettt much the long and short of it. Its also why he won't join WBA.

No because it is based on our current sponsor.

No reason to sell him in January. Douby we will, if we do then its just for the money but that would be available in the summer too, and the Jan/summer 2018.

Because Redmond is playing as an attacking midfielder where he needs to be able to receive the ball in tight areas and keep posession and look to link with other players. That isn't Long's game. He was ****e as a wide player under Koeman. He is a striker who wants to run onto balls over the top in a direct system. We don't play like that which is why he doesn't start many games at the moment.

Haven't Seager and Barnes just come back? Olomola?

Apart the unreliable Darren Lewis in the Mirror I havent seen any other traction, has there been a serious link?

Article makes complete sense. No chance of us selling VVD now. Hopefully when he does go we get at least equal to what Stones cost though. Fonte situation is obviously a little more than what has been publically stated but again, the position of the club nakes complete sense. Either he wants to be at Saints or wants a big deal elsewhere, if one is offered next month he will be off most likely. If not then he might regret the position he has put himself in.

Our two best two displays (second halves at Bmth and WHU) have been with Davis and Hojbjerg as the two central midfielders ahead of the holding player.

Imagine we will need to make 10 changes between the WBA and Everton games due to only have a one day recovery/travel window, so could see slightly more of a mixed side for this one as quite possibly those who play this game might miss WBA and then come back for the Everton game.

Great win. Jay Rod quality even aside from the goals, definitely the best fit for the team in that position and hopefully gets a run now. When we get the central midfield balance right we look a good side. Davis should always play, anyone who doesn't rate him is an oddball. Clasie probably had his best game for us and Yoshida was solid (although did make a couple of poor decisions that luckily went unpunished). Hojbjerg improved second half and Bertrand had his best game for a while.

Suprised no Tadic as he is calm on the ball and personally would always play Davis in our midfield. But not sure Fonte can have too many complaints given his apparent desire to leave.

And are at home. Its really poor scheduling and will have a say in the result most likely.

Also weird to have such a long spell without a game and then play Wed, Sat, Mon. Will have to pick 10 different players for the Saturday game you would imagine as a one day gap between WBA and Everton is surely not doable.

Rashford being mentioned as a serious suggestion? FFS.

Its more than just another game, especially if you are a Dorset based Saints fan. If we don't match their intensity we will lose and they will be treating this as being a derby, so Puel should prepare our players for that regardless of what some fans think.

Its the Daily Star.

Exactly.
