Losing Romeu played a big part in our general decline. He was never the quickest but he could read the game, retain and pass the ball better than nearly every other premier league player when we had him. If he had pace we would have lost him years before to a top club. Brilliant move.

That's how I look at the players and positions too. If we lose Aribo and Edozie then it's pretty balanced, especially if we occasionally play with two strikers (so we can also play 442). Then Fraser could be counted as a winger and perhaps Matsuki as a CM.

I named my kid's hamster Jason Puncheon after the amount of time I spent clearing out his cage

Based on his height alone, I'd say half a Ryan Fraser....not sure which half

I think we should throw all the money we've raised from the sales of KS and Tall Paul (transfer and wages) at trying to lock in Fernandes, Ramsdale, Dibling and THB (in that order). If we can keep those four we will have a very good window.

I thought Fraser was actually quite good for us in the championship last time. Got forward well (in a Russell Martin team) and put a shift in defensively. We should never have offered him a contract but I'd rather keep him as cover than pay him to play for another team.

The only good thing about this news is that it's stopped the horse jokes

During the 23/24 promotion season there were many times he was our best attacking player and the best defensive player in the same game. We will miss him this season.

I'm considering moving from the family stand now my son has turned 15. I found it difficult to control the swearing this year (mine not his) and we're considering moving to Northam Standing. I've never had a season ticket there before. Is he too young?

Cameron Archer

So that's Will Merry who was on loan at Eastleigh the end of last season?????

I'm still hopeful (I know unrealistic) about KWP staying. I think we should offer a contract that makes him our top earner. Even with Sugawara joining I wonder if we could play KWP further up the pitch (as a midfielder or even winger) with them both playing at the same time. KWP has the ability and could work well IMO.

I wonder if Larios or Meghoma can play RB? This is what Ralph said when we signed Larios: "Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhüttl praised Larios for his positional versatility, able to cover either flank, upon his announcement as a Southampton player."

What's the situation with Janny B? Last year of contract? I think he has improved significantly recently and our system suits him much better but perhaps we're looking to cash in if he's reluctant to extend. I don't think we paid much for him so would also help FFP.
