Nolan

How do you know he didn't sign in Spring and post date the contract?

All of Reach's websites basically want quantity over quality. Luckily the Hampshire Live page has a pretty decent journalist in Tom Leach.

at 21 I would hope that he hits the "under 10 million and one to develop", but how you get that past the Work Permit rules is the unknown.

Lallana got picked as he had already 'gone' to Liverpool when he was picked. Hence the pictures with him with the Liverpool shirt pre-tournament.

No, had he been picked, there's proof that playing well enough gets you to the England Squad.

You have a 26 man Squad and they only take 5 Midfielders. I would anticipate people trying to coerce a move out of him telling him that's his way into the England Set-up. They got to Lallana before the trip to 2014's World cup, but its not hard to believe that there would be people that dont have Southampton FC's interests in mind. You cant say that JWP's performances and abilities dont justify his selection.

Smells like 2014 when Lallanas head was turned. Trying to do the same thing with Ward Prowse.

this bloke is a realist...

Its stripes. You cant make a deckchair look good, or original. hey ho.

If he came for £7.25m or less, buy him If it was more than that, don't.

I think more important is that we find players who fit the system in the close season. KWP needs back up. We need a fourth DM. The problems don't come from the system, but the lack of ability to remove tired legs.

That's for to be three at the back with Tella and KWP as wing backs surely. Armstrong and JWP in cm. Walcott as a 10 and Adams and Ings up front.

Given Southampton FC Women have played pretty much sod all competitive matches in the last 12 months, and to play against a team playing regular football... To progress another round is bloody impressive.

Most things in excess are bad for you. We cant ban most things. Good for Saints on getting a lot of money.

Allardyce has not beaten us since leaving West Ham.

of course I saw the first 30. stats remain: >4 days between games P18 W10 D4 L4 ppg 1.89 3-4 days between games P12 W0 D2 L10 ppg 0.17 (NB looks like I attributed a draw in the wrong place on my original calculations)

Vs Burnley. Lots of preparation 3 PTS.

I think the only people who were involved in international games midweek who will start will be Bednarek and Vestergaard. Ings and Redmond up front. Walcott and Tella behind.

Written in words here... It looks to be one of the two semis https://www.bbc.com/sport/56566256.amp

It's not an excuse. It's an observation. But If a pattern emerges then something should be done to change the pattern.

Still only got 1 point from games we've played 3 or 4 days after the previous game.

With Stephens and Bednarek now on long term deals, I think it was pointing to Vestergaard being cashed in on this summer. The question is how high can we push the price with a year left on his contract. 15 million was mooted by Leicester last year. 1 year left will probably be countered by his playing improvements over this season. I would hope for £25-30million considering his PL experience.

Two games ago we would have been passing back a LOT more when in those positions. I'd rather the ball being in the box, which could possibly lead to something like Adams' goal, then going back to the CB's.

I think he needs longer than to 2023 on his contract if he keeps on like this.
