Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

The Inter Milan Ultras have apparently responded to the rumours of Chelsea trying to bring back Lukaku: I'm wondering if our 'lads' need to "wade in" on the JWP front? Perhaps along the lines of "A sustainable club makes us mightily peeved" or something equally as threatening?

Wrong thread...

SSN saying Arsenal have lodged a player/s plus cash bid for James Maddison. I wonder if that includes Ainsley Maitland-Niles, as I'm sure I recall Leicester being reported as interested in him (like us) earlier in the window.

If he came in as the attacking midfielder and Armstrong dropped in as an alternative no. 6 maybe this could work. I always feel we lose something when Stu isn't playing as a no. 10 though. Oh god, no. 6, no. 10 - I've gone all "Ralph"... 🥴

Mateusz Pereira 'speaking out' after his effort has been questioned at WBA ahead of a possible move 'somewhere'. Are/were we ever interested?

Spurs after Conor Coady. Not a surprise with Nuno now in charge, I guess.

Sour grapes, saving face or genuinely not arsed? Interesting reaction from the Brighton press about missing out on Livramento... Chelsea wonderkid's decision to snub Brighton for Southampton is a sign of club's growth - SussexLive

So, one of their own has done a Virgil? Clearly, he fancies joining Grealish at City more than another trophyless season at Spurs then. This might kick-start the transfer window, if he gets his way. And might even mean someone actually makes a bid for Danny.

Villa paid us £15 million for our second choice left-back and, whilst Matt Targett has gone on to do well for them, JWP would be worth way more than £25m based on Targett's valuation.

Ben White has now completed his move to Arsenal. It'll be interesting to see who Brighton splurge the cash on (I bet the prices have gone up for whoever they want...).

He did well to bring it back from this rather bizarre start to his career... 😂 BBC NEWS | England | Hampshire | Footballers charged with burglary

West Ham close to getting a new goalie...

Leicester look like they may make a move for Pereira at WBA, someone who I thought might be a good fit for us. But, as Ralph said when talking about our interest in Castagne last summer, if Leicester are involved for a player we also want, we can pretty much forget about him...

Seems like Spurs are looking elsewhere? Usually when they want one of our players, the leaks to the press are incessant... Tottenham want to partner Harry Kane with Fiorentina's £50m rated Dusan Vlahovic and are also interested in Crotone forward Simy (Daily Telegraph).

At £18.5m, if true, I guess this rules us out if we were interested?

What about Jim McCalliog? Did he join us from United? [Then going on to undo their defence with a sublime through ball to Bobby Stokes on 1st May 1976...]

As did Danny Wallace

From Wikipedia: Lancashire made his first-team debut against Queens Park Rangers on 14 September 2008, but was sent off after 29 minutes, for a rash tackle on Damien Delaney. Looks like with Lancashire on-board, we can produce a whole new generation of 1st team debut dismissals like Alex Jankewitz. #SouthamptonWay

Yes, that's right. Andrew Crofts has been guiding their U23 team as an overage player for the past few seasons.

From the BBC gossip page. I honestly can't see us rivalling Villa for Leon Bailey!!

Yes, good point.

Not to mention the other, younger players we released at the end of last season, all of whom will have made some savings in terms of wages (albeit probably not to the degree above): Agbontohoma, David OsaretimDefise, Lucas Nsiona KKpohomouh, PascalLatham, Kingsley FinnLedwidge, Kameron MalcolmMorris, James WilliamO'Connor, Thomas JamesScott, Tommy John
