True. I'll take one of those straws too. (if it has a work permit)

Wish they would point us in the direction of all the home grown nationals that could do an equally good job for the same price *hides*

We will get two or three becomes might get one. It's always the same. Better not be Davies on loan.

Villa looked pretty good last night. If they get RLC they will be excellent. Might need to try harder to land him just to stop them as we will be in same grouping as them at the end of the season. A six-pointer loan, if you like. But would be happy with Ntcham or Veerman. Obviously won't get any of them, us being us. Pretty depressing.

Actually, think he could do a job for us.

Why would Ralph be at pains to stress that he's not, then? Seems a bit weird.

Depressing to even think for one millisecond that winning on the weekend might have dampened our search for new players but the delay in lining up a central midfielder is tantamount to negligence. Really think we must be absolutely skint or run by people with very little experience of how transfers work.

Brilliant result. Well done saints. Amazing.

Skint.

Winning race for Ntcham for £12m according to this not hugely reliable account: https://www.hammers.news/club-news/penny-pinching-west-ham-look-on-as-southampton-reportedly-swoop-in-for-olivier-ntcham/

Really hope you're right #abitdeluded

This was the one we needed. Couldn't we have offered more than a million quid? I know it's down to the player, but bloody hell Saints. WTF is going on? Struggling to see where the next point is coming from.

Agree. Good articles and in depth stuff on tactics you can’t get anywhere else, from top writers. Really enjoying.

Well to me it was mystifying we didn't try harder to keep hold of him as he offers a muscularity and grittiness that we lack. Keeping the ball and breaking up play. We are as soft as butter in the middle, and especially once Romeu gets his yellow card.

Forget the high line but press them all over the park. Not rocket science, is it? I'd play Long for his energy and drop Adams to the bench, or at least bring Long on to knacker them out. My worry is centre midfield, where we have absolutely nothing. Oh, and the keeper, who is gash.

It's an indication that we are skint, no?

Think I'd prefer Windsor Davies tbh

what a powder puff midfield that will make

Christ almighty. Are they blind?

Do you think they've noticed we're pants and need reinforcements or are we skint/caught between buyer and seller standoff? Either way, not good, and if Ralph is 'sending messages' through the teams he picks it is the beginning of the end. Bit like Mourinho was at Chelsea in his final days.

Getting rid of a combative cm like Reed looking stupider by the day. Ash flow must be catastrophic. Even Ralph saying wings not leaving looks like hi. Doing his dirty washing in public now; really hope he was t using that today as a plea for more funds

Absolute shower of shite, the lot of them.

This season’s Leicester performance. Something very wrong behind the scenes. Utterly appalling.

Loris = good keeper McCarthy = average at best the difference Ps worst linesman ever?

McCarthy is utter tripe. Absolutely awful. Come off your line and boot it into touch come
