He will if we can’t even stretch to 14 mill for a needed striker, let alone a CB in the ‘project’ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If we can see through it, I wonder if Birmingham can? Clue: they can.

Bracing myself for when Ralph says he is frustrated with lack of signings/money

Considering it is absolutely essential, and will mean a long season again if we don't bring a good one in.

Ta. Here it is. I'm getting a lot of questions from Southampton fans regarding Che Adams, Southampton have had a bid accepted, expect news in media in next few days Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Good news. Who from?

Chexit

Bit concerning that we don't seem to be able to spend £14m or maybe that we are unwilling. Very much hope that a CB is a concurrent push. Any more rumours on that one?

Just pay the money saints. Too many examples of players wriggling away or going to teams with more ambition. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In the end it probably depends on whether he wants to go. And judging by his performances/general body language/the fact he lost the captaincy/he lost his place in the England team/other teams will certainly be interested/money I suspect he does. Still need to get at least 15 mill though otherwise it's madness.

Madrid is two and a half hours away. Never buy the geography thing with footballers moving. They're not bothered, and on a bad day Southampton to parts of London can almost take as long anyway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

good. but six high profile departures I hope means the deadwood but guess it might include Bertrand and McCarthy?

Hurrah! I hope Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Tick tock. Any decent centre backs linked yet? We're gonna fudge this, aren't we?

Bit like a double on Man City versus um...Saints and Liverpool v Huddersfield last season Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

also true but less important (marginally) than CB

not mutually exclusive to CB position, but marginally less crucial since we have Hoj, Lemina, Romeu. But yes, an enforcer here would be good too.

We obviously need a new centre back. Fail here and we're in trouble again.
