One immutable fact: James Ward Prowse cant break Beckham's record of Direct Free Kicks scored in the Premier League, from the Championship. No Southampton, DoF, Manager or Owner can deny him the chance of that. Its very surprising that the sensible offers aren't in yet.

"Meaningless passing" ? Passing designed to frustrate, create spaces between their players, tire their players and limit the amount of energy we need to expend on defending. It is the most intelligent football we've played in years.

There's some strange posts on here sometimes. sports Republic haven't gone to a centralised model for staff just to get rid of the top club.

Yes there was. Martin says is in the Squad for tomorrow "as things stand".

The players wage cut was reported as 40%

Say a championship side was looking at a championship attacker who had scored 17 goals in the league, 2 goals in the cup and on top of that had five assists. You look at that record. You're not looking at £9 million, you're not looking at £15 million. You're looking at £20 million plus for those numbers. I'd be very surprised if the reports that Southampton would accept £15 million for Tella are accurate. £15 million is the most Burnley have ever paid for a player, and that's why that number is out there. He's got the 11 Shirt, and he's got a full season rather than the 39 league games he played for Burnley last year. Expect goals from Tella... For Southampton.

I'm sure on the Source. He started tweeting on July 2nd, Has tweeted 135 times mainly about Saints, and his profile picture is taken from "aviewfrommyseat.com". He probably wont tweet much on 24th august as he picks up his GCSE results.

Agreed, Tellas more likely to pull off back to back 15+ goal seasons at this level than at Burnley.

Wednesday have only scored 4 in preseason, and in a 3-4-2-1 Line up is very difficult to call, but I have a feeling it will be something along the lines of. Bazunu Livramento Stephens Charles Manning Lavia (or) Smallbone Tella JWP Alcaraz Edozie Armstrong

If you offered £1 more than you did before it would be "nearer" a higher price.

blimey, there's some people with a relegation hangover on here. 5/12 relegated teams have been promoted straight back up in the last 4 seasons. We still have Burnleys highest scoring player from last season on our books, and Alcaraz looks to have "team of the season" potential. Jay Rod scored 2 in the whole of their relegation season, scoring 10 last season in the championship. Burnley only scored 3 in their first 4 games of the season, in fact they sat in 16th after game week 5. The faster one touch football, looks to be embedding well, so I don't see any reason why we cant do the same. I'm always half glass full. Promotion season coming up.

There's an U21 league too, they've got to have some players for there.

From Man City side...

Just looking down the Man City twitter feed, a lot of them rate Oscar Bobb very very highly.

Took a heavy knock first half against reading, was subbed off at half time for DCC. Would imagine that's keeping him out.

Just noticed Nathan Tella's twitter username is @NathanTella_11, don't know how long he's had that. But given he wore the 11 shirt on Saturday it's the most accurate it's been.

Think its worth highlighting the Squad numbers new and returning players wore against Reading. 3 Manning 11 Tella 16 Smallbone 24 Charles and looks like Amo Ameyaw is now 39 (from 75 last season)

The official website looks to be wanting to be a historical kits site now....

We've not seen Larios or Perraud in training, just in the gym. Until we see who is going out to Turkey, I'd imagine who we left out was more to do with giving some of the U23s a run out.

Very reminiscent of the Site Southampton Could have had in the 90's at Stoneham by the M27. It looks like it has perfect transport links and it would be ludicrous to turn it down.

Its the squad that eclipses the rest of the League in presumed value.
