It’s looking like a ‘we tried’ kind of end of window. Very dangerous to swerve a full back or striker. Ok try but not succeed. Could be very harmful. We’re going to be looking at one point in August potentially. Cue accusations of ‘bed wetting’ Yawn.

Not Hudson Nedoi either. Not convinced by the offer ( or us having a shite manager, doubtless)

Scrolling this thread looking for evidence of actual links to signings is getting a bit depressing. Might we miss the boat?

🚨 Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu ‘would like a change of scenery’ amid interest from Girona – currently, the 30-year-old would have to reduce his salary to facilitate any move #saintsfc @sport

Standard piece linked above says Newcastle have entered the fray

I imagine that unlimited funds may shift that somewhat

Come on Liam. You could be our best ever Delap

Newcastle is a fine place. What do you mean?

Southampton chose to sign Romeo Lavia (18) over a ‘vastly more experienced’, 24/25-year-old player with ‘over 100 appearances in the Bundesliga’ – Saints felt that, in the long-run, Lavia’s sell-on value will be higher #saintsfc @J_Tanswell via @TheAthleticUK podcast

I quite agree but suspect he probably wants to end his career in a very lovely place near his home/family etc. And we shouldn't stand in his way if so. But yes, amazing reader of the game, incredible control and awareness, technique. Plus, seemingly, a great guy. (with nice dog)

Enough to pay for a loan for a year, roughly

Would be a shame as he's been an absolutely brilliant player for us but can see that happening. Also, Girona is a very lovely place. Hope he gets a good send-off. Model pro

Useful for the transfer window though

Not wishing to throw stones in glass houses but I think you mean the Glazers... 😉

Really? I'm doubtful, but that would be okay I guess. Would be big bucks, and not sure of the relationship he has with Ralph, but he may not be with us long I guess

This Liverpool game is pretty drab. Very flat atmosphere. Like they’re waiting for the formality of a first goal

Makes you wonder why he doesn't get in a bad Man U team

I mean, nice fantasy, but think he's fishing in a slightly bigger pool.

Interesting, isn't it, how one goal can completely change the atmosphere. Had we have lost 2-1 there would be much more baying. This is a stay of execution, or should be, as we search for someone better able to cope with selection/tactics. I think we will muddy through now, though. Leicester, Man U and Chelsea don't look like a mountain of easy points, even with United's current 'crisis' (watch us help with that)

Hoping it's Diallo moving on and not JWP in final week shocker

WE should offer £15m if they take McCarthy too LOL

Would be amazing if both. We certainly need it. Perhaps Delap on loan.

Agree with that bit wholeheartedly. He is Mr Tacticless

Wow. Amazing what a point against Leeds at home can do

Looking at Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal apparently. Think Everton are too
