Lee On Solent Saint

Not sure if I missed this, but away fans are allowed back in as well?

I like the loan system, and I don't think in the past we have utilised it enough. However, I do think it's too much to expect clubs to stump up a loan fee and cover wages. It should be one or the other in my view, not both.

Exactly. Isn't that where Ely came from?

Remember that game. First time I'd seen Saints win at Anfield.

I for one, won't be cheering anyone at St Marys unless they are wearing a Saints shirt. If people want to cheer England players, then go and watch the national team.

Surely if we were in the market for another CM, I would rather we go balls out for Delaney than Hayden.

I'd quite happily see if him leave for free next summer if it meant those wankers didn't get a penny.

Which will always be from the bench and the odd cup game.

Wouldn't make much difference at corners, JWP will leave as well!

That's all very well, but we need to do this on our terms. No good for us if a club comes in on the last day of the window for Ings, leaving us with zero chance of replacing. We need to make this decision before the start of the pre-season games. I know it will never happen, but ideally if he wants out, we need to put it out there that if he hasn't gone in the next three weeks, he stays for the season. None of this last minute transfer bullshit.

Our shit form at the end of the season coming back to haunt us.

Agreed. We need to get maximum price for him, so cashing in on the back of a decent Euro campaign makes perfect sense. Out of all our likely departures, he's the one I wouldn't be sorry to see go.

If he thinks he's going to play week in, week out for the top 6 sides, he's deluded. If he goes, the only place he may get regular game time is Arsenal. I don't think for one moment Kane is leaving Spurs. This is lined up for him going to Everton or West Ham.

Agreed. Think it's now or never for him this season. Got the makings of a Boufal situation unfortunately.

I think when you look at the tournament as a whole, the three most successful teams thus far, England,Italy and Denmark have a togetherness and unity that the other squads don't seem to have. Seems to me that the pre-tournament favourites, the likes of France and Belgium, all had fantastic individuals, but they perhaps like previous England teams have struggled to play as a team.

Looks like they may be without Spinazzolo to, he looks a player

Comfortably. Would be a great sight to see him alongside Salisu, in a similar role to that of Fonte.

If we go for Messi, doesn't that mean we would also need to sign a compatriot of his? Just to help him settle?!

I know it's hard to make judgements on a few games, but he does seem a very good player. We were constantly linked him with, I think last season. KWP is decent, but this lad seems to be the next level up from him.

Getting back to the Abgon quote, in what kind of fucked up universe does he think we will sell for 20m??

Christ, that likeness is spooky!

I think it's something we absolutely need to get better at. The loan market is perfect for the reasons you state. Lots of players aren't going to be getting game time at their parent clubs. Would love us to be bang on with the two loans we are allowed in the domestic market.

City might well be willing to play top dollar for him, but there is no way that he is any better than Mahrez, Foden, Gundogan or Silva.

My opinion is that he is over-rated. Not asking you to agree with me. Yes,he is a good player, but the drooling over him is just over the top

Not disputing he set up the winner. Be interesting to see how he gets on against a better team where he probably won't be afforded the amount of time and space he found today.
