Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

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

Perhaps this is why we put our pursuit of Armstrong "on pause"...?

So Nice announce the signing of Lemina with a highlights reel that contains nothing from his time at Saints?! Says it all really...

Anyone know what time kick off is? Or what the score is, if we're underway?

A genuine birthday commemoration from the club or a highlights reel to drive up his price?? Happy birthday Danny Ings!! Happy Birthday, Danny Ings! | Southampton FC

I wonder if he's got a knock. Maybe we need to get out into social media land and spread this as a rumour anyway to make potential suitors think twice?

"has a clear pathway to the first team" - he's seen Stephens and Bednarek play then...

To be fair, he far outshone our CMs when West Brom beat us 3-0 towards the end of last season...

With this one nearly done too:

A couple of other PL sides adding to their squads:

Hey, what about me???

From the Express article on Brighton's interest in Odsonne Edouard: Celtic have been linked with a renewed bid for Southampton’s Fraser Forster but that looks extremely unlikely - with a new contract offer on the table. The former Hoops keeper, was sold to Saints and then had a successful loan spell back, is in the final year of his contract but has been offered an extension. The ex-England international would need to take a significant cut on his current earnings and as it stands the deal remains unsigned. Forster has forced his way back into the Southampton team under Ralph Hasenhuttl but is still competing with Alex McCarthy for the No 1 spot. The St Mary’s outfit could try to cash-in on Forster if he doesn’t sign but it would require a major financial commitment from Celtic over the next four years. It remains to be seen if they would pay the £2million fee and make him one of their highest earners over the next three or four years. Even then the other issue is that he would still earn more at Southampton while other suitors could also come to the table.
