That's a good analysis. Would broadly agree on transfers too: This leaves Southampton needing a minimum of seven or eight signings: Goalkeeper- capable of playing out the back and comfortable on the ball Left-back or left centre-back that is comfortable operating in either scenario Central centre-back Bednarek or Harwood-Bellis could operate this role using Bella-Kotchap on the right. However, the German is expected to leave, so a centre-back should be on Southampton’s shopping list. Potentially an RB dependent if Walker-Peters leaves, which is looking ever likely CM- Number 8, excellent ball carrier and chance creator LW- A Player that excels in 1v1 situations and can go to the byline or come inside and defend when needed ST- True number 9, but capable of dropping deep with good link-up play.

Surely, Davro.

High bar...

Des Walker was a similarly diminutive 5ft 11ins and established a hell of reputation as a ball playing centre half on his way to sixty England caps. Let’s hope Ronnie steps up alongside THB, looking forward to seeing him in a three.

Welcome Ronnie, complete steal by Saints. Along with THB we have some serious young potential at the back!

(To tune of Go West) Shit at accountancy You’re shit at accountancy You’re shit at accountancy You’re shit at accountancy… (plus Deloitte classics) Bust in a minute, you’re going bust in a minute… You’ll never win that, you’ll never win that FFP, you’ll never win that… 1885 will be right on it!

Just seen coming out of Staplewood:

Assume Bryan Adams, much better hit rate.

FFS, wish we were Crystal Croyden.

All good. Really solid experienced player and will be well ahead of Mind the Gap Manning in terms of selection. Anticipate Ryan Fraser next.

Trying to kiss the badge on the collar...

Paul Allen.

LLSS…

Football ultra, man and boy, often wonder what his Dad did for a living. 🤔

This is a super formal suggestion. Knowing saints we’d finish bottom on goal difference, give him a two year extension and a testimonial.

Best bet if Bazunu is fit towards the end of next season would be to loan him to Portsmouth - get their goal difference down.

Yes, decent sports auction site and seems the go to for the ex Saints players. Thought he might get around £18-20k as key role in final. Hope the club have bought it as relatively small beer for them and plenty of space in trophy cabinet even with the big playoff pot in it 😊

And even devolution…

It's a slippery slope:

Navy blue shorts, hooped red and white socks, jobs a good'un...

The player who put the shit in dog shit.

He consistently looked like he was enjoying himself last season, which was nice to see, but there were indeed quite a few mind the gap and banana skin moments. You are right about him getting crucified at the franchise clubs if that happened. I think it's 50/50 he stays at Saints and much will depend if it looks like we can maintain a bit of positive momentum into this season, hope he does as a really good fit for us.

He joined in September 2022 and eight weeks later Nathan 'whistle' Jones turned up, poor bastard probably thought swopping Sampaoli and Tudor for the Welsh wizard might have been an error at that point. Despite Nat clearly having superior Europe-wide stats than those two no-marks, with the greatest respect. Guess we will never know...

Really thought DCC would be terrific for us and was the centre back I wanted us to sign under RH. I think he is obligated to join Lyon on a reduced fee but there is a chance Martin will have a look. Probably prefer him to ABK, thirty games for Lyon last season at least suggests he's fit and wants to play.
