Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Clearly someone gave Russell Martin videos of Chris Nicholl's Saints, to show him the Southampton Way, but without giving him Le Tiss, Shearer and the Wallaces to score our way out of our defensive woes.

Has Tall Paul actually (Trabzonspor shirt held aloft, "it's been my dream to play in the Turkish league for a side just below the better ones") gone?

Fulham bid for Stuart Armstrong off according to Sky Sports

This must've been the winger we wanted

Ooh...

Have we Google searched "injured players at Sunderland" and put bids in for any we've identified?

Adam Blackmore has caught up now too. I think we can be reasonably assured this is going to happen

This journalist at The Athletic seems pretty sure all is good for Stewart too. Someone pass the petrol back to the Sunderland fan so he can finish burning his shirt.

Confirmed striker news at last! Luke Pearce joins Torquay on loan.

I guess how you take this depends on your expectations on Saints usual transfer business??

What went wrong in those 9 minutes. My guess is Lyanco popped back to get something he'd forgotten and broke Stewart's other leg when he found an 'intruder' he didn't recognise.

Adams to stay?!

"Hey lads, he's injured?! Did no-one notice?"

I believe the lengthy discussions went: "Would you like to sign for Bayern, Armel?" "Yes please"

And is the COT usually informed in advance of the intended smokescreen?

Even after that missed header last season? Wow.

Knowing Saints, we're in Canada right now trying to sign him...

Seen his name mentioned a couple of times now....

"When I saw how many forwards Leeds have and Tella had left Southampton, I thought I'd rather go somewhere where I might get a game..."

We've literally no physicality or presence up top. Take Amo-Ameyaw off, stick Adarma wide & we'll have to make do with Aribo up top. If that's not a wake up call to buy a forward, I don't know what is. The QPR forward would do.

Oh and one more positive about signing Fraser from Newcastle. He's not Matt Ritchie.

Ryan Fraser's face looks like a combination of Alan Shearer and my friend Ed. On this basis, I'm willing to get behind the move. Go on wee man, take us back to the Premier League!

Always good to bloody the nose of those big Premier League types, even in a friendly. 👍

Is this our out of the blue midfield signing?

I think Martin said he had picked up a knock before the Plymouth game.
