Lee On Solent Saint

People take this thread way too seriously

Deserves? I didn't realise Southampton Football Club was a charity now. I like Stephens, committed player. But hugely limited and in truth should be nowhere near a Premier League squad.

Until he scores a last minute winner against us at St Mary's

The option to renew shouldn't have been included to be honest. We all moaned like fuck when he was brought back into a Championship team, what's it going to be like when he starts the first game of this season? Great lads around the club don't make great players. We've had too many of those in the past.

Hope it is something like that, after agreeing a contract extension with Stephens

We need to be ruthless as a club. We are still giving out contracts to players that are not good enough for the Premier League. Stephens should be moved on even if we don't get a fee for him at the end of his contract.

Would any of them be a miss? Apart from KWP?

Based on that, I would have thought it's an indication that KWP is off.

Lost

What's the keeper situation at Bournemouth? Might be a option for Ramsdale if they do decide if they need a new keeper

Wouldn't be averse to Aribo moving on. Think it wouldn't be too difficult to find an upgrade on him. Only trouble would be finding a buyer for him.

Green

Danny Ings probably one of them

Not sure that can be trumped, I doth my cap to you.

Me too, Ed Sheeran. Fuck that shit.

Understood! Thay makes much more sense

He's only 16. How can his pathway be blocked at that age?

Surely not Mauro Icardi?

Don't think that at all. Possibly worth a punt at half that amount, but for 20m, no thanks.

Good to see other teams getting their pants pulled down by City for a change.

Interested why you think the Scottish lads are any good? Do you watch much Scottish football? Shankland has spent his career playing in a tinpot league, not even for Rangers or Celtic. Surely if he was any good either one of those two would have picked him up?

Fan's will have tears on their pillows if it doesn't come off

Hand on my heart, I really can't see this transfer coming off.

Quick glance at that and I thought it said unknown Metz midfielder

Like I said above, if I was playing professional, I'd want to play as many games as I could.
