Scoring goals will be our problem again. Defence will tighten up after a while. We'll finish 14th or 15th. Nothing special. Hughes will just about last the season. Not sure about Gao. Liverpool will be much better this time round. Arsenal will have early teething troubles but come back strongly. New Chelsea manager will do well, but Hazard will leave for Real Madrid Spurs will be annoyingly good, but Poch might have his head turned by Spain Bournemouth will struggle Everton won't quite gel enough to trouble the top 6 at the end of the season, but Silva will do ok Man City will be pretty brilliant again, and win the league again Utd will lose patience with Mourinho Bale might return to the PL

Christ. Still thinking about Ings. Ludicrous. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Christ I hope not. Think it will be Boufal away. Square peg, round hole. Also, horrible attitude

the only time we did this as far as i can remember was with VVD. and look how that turned out (okay, okay, record fee etc etc, but hey, a lot of disruption)

They have just cancelled my order even though i was one of the first off the mark on this. Absolutely disgusted.

Poor Celtic. They must REALLY hate us now.

I still think he's not going to be with us at the start of the season. Just didn't look like he thought he was our standard to me. Bit billy big boots. Hope I'm wrong and he stays and becomes one of our stars, but suspect all this transfer news is predicated on another big player leaving and fee coming in. Him or Bertrand.

This is a very progressive move. Well done Saints. PS my 9 year old daughter is pretty nifty...

Lucky escape. Nowhere near good enough Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's very shoddy indeed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Think on that basis we would all have to throw out all our sports gear. Thanks again though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks very much for this excellent spot, Batman. My kids will be very happy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Team spirit and occasionally throwing boots at star players Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I thought that. What a weird thing to say. Guess it may be lost in translation but perhaps he too has been sold the old 'stepping stone' thing...! Looks decent signing on the face of it

Really think that could be said of the majority of the first team. Also, it's supposition.

He has certainly shown his loyalty to the cause over the years, no matter where he is from. He has always played with heart, and tried his best. i regard him more favourably in this than, say, Boufal or his ilk. Thus i think you should maybe cut him some slack

I totally agree

Wonder if this was on the radar when we organised the friendly?

Teams have worked him out. Shoot the ball at the goal. It will go in.

Lost twice to decent teams. England’s World Cup. Got my winnings on 1-1 and goal in extra time. Wish they wouldn’t go overboard on the schtick about bright new start and Southgate’s genius. But still good to see them play with a bit of team-ness. Oh well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. He really is. Ings would be a big mistake Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He is awful Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can't help be a bit worried about all this excellent activity on players coming in meaning there will be some key outs coming soon. My bet is still Lemina for big bucks, and maybe Bertie
