Agreed. Although Lyanco has a mistake in him, Stephens has two or three per game. Would suit high flying Championship team. Lyanco should be reserve CB if we don't bring in another

Think it's more about getting better players in than counting those able to play certain positions?

I would hope we are making a big claim here; also that being his home town is a draw. Fits the profile. Come on Saints.

You are not alone. We could actually still also do with another quality CB and central midfielder too. Here's hoping

Looks to me like creating a pool of players around a number of European clubs. Red Bull-lite?

Perhaps the Hojberg relationship had broken down

We certainly need some goals and if we do sell JWP that is critical. Hope good irons in the fire

We should persuade them that just as Haaland is following his Dad, Liam should do the same

I’ve always thought him decidedly average and accident prone. His coaching just can’t be any good.

Apparently we’ve set price of JWP at 75m which the Beeb (i think) called ‘astronomical’. It is not. Fair price in my book. Think he’ll go.

Bartosz Bialkowski: "For several years, Ralph Hasenhuttl's assistant was Kelvin Davis, the legendary goalkeeper of this club. From what I heard, he is to work in the club in a new role from the new season." #saintsfc @dailyecho like something that won’t flush 😉

Are we bovvered?

Yes, agreed. Hope it's someone a bit more whelming

Weird. Still, the Echo has spoken

20 million would be absolutely barmy. can't see it.

Or a high end grocer that also sells beds

Sounds like a terrible 80s cop show

Thank Christ for that. A lucky escape. Everton LOL

Are we signing NEVES but only if he runs backwards?

Personally glad we swerved this one

On the face of it, good business. Still a risk but looks good to me. Well done Saints. Spending all the JWP money early (joking) (I hope)

the worrying bit is that City want to keep him (and money talks). Hope we can get this one over the line as it is effectively many good transfers in one...

£20m! World's gone mad

Pep Biel (Spanish) from Selles' old club, Copenhagen? https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pep-biel/profil/spieler/263804

More encouraging noises from the club: A trio of Spanish clubs have entered the race to sign Bayern Munich defender Chris Richards, but it is Southampton & Crystal Palace who lead the way - Bayern are discussing whether to include a buyback clause if they do agree to sell #saintsfc @jamesbenge
