That would be a massive loss

I we're splashing 20 mill on a right back, am girding my loins for a late sale of JWP

A clear failing in our squad was physical strength and presence. Not now. Well done to the recruitment team. Still need a bit of pace but looking good on the solidity front. Good spine. Would like to see us secure Romeu too as his ball retention is excellent and we will need strength in depth especially with the subs rule

Aribo deal looks close. Amazing work. Just need a striker and it’s a full house. Don’t fuck it up by playing the wrong keeper against spurs, Ralph.

Nice

Kevin Bond John Bond?

Suspect we’ve moved on from this. Seems overpriced to me.

I like it too. Great that we are trying something different. The home shirt looks a bit cheap by comparison. Hilarious how many people are really put off by the kit and frothing at the mouth

Glad they all put penguin to paper

Yeah, really hope we keep Oriel

Yeah, good point. Can see that. Guess they'll shift out Ronaldo too as he wants to go and wouldn't fit (and I think was cause of a lot of their problems as well as provider of goals) Think Spurs will do well until Conte decides to up and leave

Weird move for him. Felt sure he'd head back to Spurs. Excellent player though, and more than able to fill in for Pogba, more consistently (and in a different way)

Like it. Well done Saints. Different and interesting. But won't that new goalie kit make the keeper invisible against the turf? (no change there for one of our keepers... 😉 )

Big respect to the management team

Wow. Well done Saints. This is looking very good.

🚨 Southampton are second favourites to sign Harry Winks during the summer transfer window. Saints are 5/1 to sign the Tottenham midfielder in the coming weeks #saintsfc [Sun] why won’t this absurd turd of a rumour get flushed down the toilet? I’m really hoping it’s not because spurs are negotiating for JWP. We should go nowhere near this. Would be shite deal of the century

I suspect they're investing in players for their Premier League championship retaining team of four years' time. Horrible dirty money. Yuk

Wonder if the Bazanu deal helped on this. And the new City coach guy. Presume so. Brighton have a big cash pile from Bazuma for a midfielder. Looks he chose us over them (and others?)

Way better than his brother Les

I think it's a sensible model for clubs like ours. We can't compete on wages or signing fees on the really big names. Think we have to face that

This - also, last time I looked we still have bags of experience in Romeu (hope we keep him), and JWP in the middle. Stu Adams too. And Che for that matter. Blend is the key

package worth around 10 million quid and still pursuing Colwill apparently. ace

Just realised this new kit is the inverse of the Rank Xerox one, no?

Big kudos to management to sorting key spine positions in a timely manner. Feels good.
