Parsons should've been told to walk in the summer. Absolute fucking muppet. Keep your mouth shut.

Nah, we'll just end up selling him next summer for £££ I expect.

Well, yes, but we're talking about Stephens specifically here.

Fucking hell Edozie. Hes shit, thats why he dont get minutes. I do think the club shouldve accepted a bid esrlier though. Hes clearly not good enough, with only a year left.

Imagine booing one of your own, who always gives his all for the club. Probably the same melts who applauded on Armel Bella-Kotchap that time after all his tantrums over the years. Id much rather a Stephens than someone like him, thats for sure.

He did the same last week, after Alfie at the Echo had posted an exclusive transfer update and Crook regurgitated it all as his own exclusive 🤣 He'll never top the Charlie Austin rumour though; that was gold.

We cannot have Sam Edozie coming on. We just can't. Hes utterly shite. We need: A RB A CB (x2 if THB goes) A CM A Winger At an absolute minimum.

Poor start to the season, no question. But funny how all his haters have suddenly found their voice again & climbed out the woodwork having been quiet for the 2nd half of last season.

Surely we have experienced football people in the background who assist with planning pre-season?

Stephens and THB were a fantastic partnership last season throughout our run. I wouldn't be dismantling that based on one game whilst the majority of the team looked rusty. If it carries on, by all means, look at a change, but im personally happy to carry on as is.

Looks like Wood is the latest example of "he's not playing so he's gone up in the fans estimations" mantra that we so often go by as Saints fans. End of the day, we need a new centre half. 2 if we're being greedy.

Max Alleyne Alejandro Rodriguez Tyler Dibling (we got lucky he come back, in my opinion) Harrison Miles Jimmy Jay-Morgan George Kift Harley Emsden-James All young lads who have gone to bigger clubs to further their development, and we barely get any benefits from it, financially and sporting. Long gone are the days of us promoting academy talents like Bale, Walcott, Chamberlain or Lallana, with them coming through and making an impact before being sold for big £££, to be honest. (and yes, before anyone mentions it, we got big £££ for Dibling of course, but he still originally left and the club got damn lucky he came back but thats such a rare case)

That was short-lived; he was only announced as as scholar a couple of weeks back: https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/12-first-year-scholars-sign-for-2026-27-season

They do normally, so count yourself lucky they lasted longer than normal for the entirety of last season 🤣

Relegation next year. The upheaval is going to be immense
