Surprised we didn't see Sims yesterday. Don't think he even made the bench. Hope he's not injured again. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Whenever someone says 100% reliable source, can be fairly sure it's a wind-up. I believe he's Saints through and through and could be that modern day rarity - a one-club player. He has passion for the club and his attitude will be vital fighting relegation. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Except his wage demands will kill it. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

We won't just pay. We've got a rigid £100k ceiling, which is why Theo didn't come. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Not today. Lots making an effort. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Delighted to say there was no protest whatsoever. In fact, I think the abject crap posted on here actually galvanized the best support we've had for ages, and no let's just keep that up and forget the nonsense. Good, spirited performance. COYR! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Surprised not Sims for Redmond on the bench. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I heard a rumour Sims will feature, possibly start. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Suggested Real Madrid £200m bid for Kane. Hope he takes it carefully today. Wouldn't want to get injured.[emoji6] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Yep. Usual thing of hoping that, now our interest is known, other clubs will come in and outbid us. If he's any good, we'll lose him. So we'll only get him if he isn't. [emoji852]️ Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

"Monaco have rejected a £17.6m offer from Southampton for striker Guido Carrillo, Sky Sports News understands. Sky Sports News*reported earlier this month that the Saints were keen to sign the 26-year-old, who previously worked with boss Mauricio Pellegrino in their native Argentina. Carrillo has made 22 appearances this season but just two of them have been starts in Ligue 1. He has scored 20 goals in over 50 appearances for Monaco since signing from Estudiantes in 2015." Could be. Standard "Sky sources" Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Being reported £17m rejected for Carrillo. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

But not a lot. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I went to all three as well. I did say it was ultimately disappointing. We beat Inter and Sparta at home - a far cry from where we are today. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That really is abject rubbish. We played very little bad football, and it wasn't half as boring as some keep insisting. We also got to a cup final, which we could have won, playing great football, we finished 8th and had a good, if slightly disappointing Euro campaign. And that with VVD out and sulking, and lacking a striker. If we'd kept Puel to benefit from his experience, with better players and fewer games, we would not be in this mess. He should never have been sacked without a certain better replacement, which we never had. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Yep. Impossible to keep a deal quiet now, and no thanks from the player for our interest. Just a lever. So our scouting just helps the rich clubs who can prey on our targets at will. And that, together with the message about the £100k wage cap, is from someone inside the club. It's proving almost impossible to get players in. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

And I've heard the big problem is ever more aggressive agents. We have a good scouting setup, identify a player. Once upon a time the player and agent would be happy that we're offering an opportunity and just negotiate with Saints. Now, the moment we approach a player, the agent splashes it round all clubs saying he's on the radar, Saints know a good player and want him, but someone else can pay more. So we're gazzumped again.

According to someone at the club this morning, pay was the issue with Theo. We have a cap of £100k. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

One of my first games. Remember it well. [emoji852]️[emoji852]️ Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

The rain that night was horrendous. We'll be ok on Sunday, won't we? Ah. Forecast is horrendous rain. [emoji852]️ Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
