Agreed. He loses the ball way too often, which often leads to dangerous transitions, and his manner/attitude is - in my opinion anyway - not great for the team. And we appear to play with more fluency and less hands on hips whining when he's not there. I was hoping that a return to Norwich might be a good way out but it seems that wages may be an issue there. Can we convince Villa he might be a better option than JWP? Here's hoping that getting better options will see him on the bench more often.

Armstrong is a very successful name in terms of Saints players. David was awesome. Stuart is great. Hope Adam is the same. Got good feeling about this signing.

Hello, Mrs Redmond! 😉

We will progress when Redmond and McCarthy are nowhere near our first team

agreed. have to keep JWP now.

Good news if it's the pair. Well done Saints.

Bloody hell. Sign him up

Actually quite promising as first of a few we need. Are we laundering for Abramovitch ? 😉

He'l be good for them but right time to sell. Pretty slow but has some quality. Shrewd from Rodgers. Glad not going to Spurs

Or just 'being a Saints fan when we're skint'

Please someone buy us. We’re clearly skint.

‘Southampton backing off’ - could be our new motto. Certainly don’t seem to be marching in any more.

Relegated

I think not making Gareth's England team will turn his head and that he will feel playing for either Villa or Leicester will get him there, along with lots of cash. Maybe he'll stay for one last season but bracing myself for him being the next bombshell

Must be some sort of record to be 'down to the bare bones' before the season actually starts.

This site will say too small

uh oh

You're right; I'm wrong. His deal runs until next summer. Sorry. Thought I read that somewhere. Must have been a nightmare...

Which makes McCarthy's new deal all the more mystifying. Especially as he's not very good at keeping goal.

Truth is we need both. Gonna a loooong season

They’ll be good this season. We won’t be midtable

Switched the cricket on to cheer myself up with some The Hundred and Bill-ings is batting with Ing-ram. Aargh
