This is my view. When he returned against Brighton I was grimacing at every challenge and tackle, felt like Rodriguez all over again. Would have been the same throughout the season in the Championship, a tough division for a young player carrying an injury. Realistically we went into summer with five or six players likely to be coveted by Prem clubs, if the window closes and we’ve hung on to one or two it’s a result.

This emphasises Wilcox's point about certain players possessing a Premier League value and others thinking that they do. We are a Championship side and the 'natural' place for genuine talent is in the division above. I find it refreshing that we appear to be holding firm with high valuations, the best a club in our position can do. The second part of the strategy, reinvestment is the one we really need to work!

This is the crux, Newcastle are loaded but this is a bit of a punt. If he stays fit and returns to his best they've got a very good player, but one hell of a risk.

SKY reporting that a deal has been struck now. Got to be north of £30m

Given the tenuous situation with the likes of Tino and Lavia, our young starlets, this is all about Saints making as much profit as possible. If that is the case here then comfortable with it. In many ways getting the big saleable assets away with decent time left in the window is the nearest thing we are going to get to an advantage. Focus on getting a win tomorrow then Martin can confirm to Wilcox who he wants as replacement(s).

Good for us KK. The one GK loanee I really rated in that era was Richard Wright. Thought he really looked the part in his half dozen or so games for us.

Name wrung a bell. Nyland originally linked with us back in 2015, before his reputation was cemented - https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/12929027.gossip-may-3-southampton-plan-transfer-of-molde-keeper-orjan-nyland/ Think I'd prefer Stuart Taylor back to be honest.

A lot of Piroe's all round game reminds me of Lambert to be honest. Van Hooijdonk more in the Pelle target man mode, but essentially we need a focal point for the attack, a player who takes chances and puts the ball in the net.

Piroe (1 year left) £17m, Dragowski (2 years left) £8m, highly optimistic but doable.

Preferably both of those positions.

Also very good on rhubarb, although personally I prefer custard.

Thanks for this extra insight Turkish.

Saints are going to want to see £25m clear in that case. It may mean he stays for this season. Fingers crossed.

Thought that with TL and Chelsea it was a buy-back clause (£37m?), rather than a sell-on fee.

Good summary S86, but no way they are selling Livramento for £15-20m, not on Wilcox's watch.

Easy error, Gold was frequently seen as the nice one in the West Ham organised crime pornographers partnership, Sullivan not so much. A sad loss.

Charlie Boss will know. He will be all over this like a rash. Like a boss.

It would still have cheerleaders on here providing it was green and recyclable.

Automatic download with the joining package, good value 👊

Clearly over the fucking moon!

Obviously no problem taking his chance with the burgeoning ANC (Ankersen National Congress)

How lovely, let’s hope they gazump the scousers at the last minute!

Sadio de Ridder, I think it was…

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
