Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

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

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...
