The Lankshear to Boro deal is: £20m total fee (£10m initial payment, £10m in add-ons and bonuses) Matching rights on any bid Boro accept in the future 20% of next transfer fee if sold to someone else https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/11095/12476234/transfer-centre-live-football-transfer-news-updates-and-rumours?postid=12103590#liveblog-body

We’ll have to wait and see what the fee is once it becomes reported. Based on the Azon reporting and the Dobbin signing we’re clearly happy to spend £7m-£10m on supplementary players. But there were rumours of Spurs wanting £15m-£20m for Lankshear, so let’s see..

RIP Kevin

Easy mistake to make with the Still era

We didn’t lose to them last season. We beat them 2-1

Yeah, watched the stream earlier and thought the same as you. Probably the benefit of coming into preseason in the rare position (in recent years) of not being in a period of total upheaval with new coaching staff, a hugely bloated squad with numerous unhappy players and Saints looking to totally rebuild the squad

FT: France 4-6 England

Thought the new kit looked decent as well

Might be able to afford some perimeter fencing for their training ground now...

Would agree with that. I thought Manning was decent second half too, but those four definitely stood out. Dobbin looked lively

FT: Eastleigh 1-3 Saints Goals: Dobbin, Oyenkunle, Akachukwu

Eastleigh 1-3 Saints - Akachukwu 78'

Saints XI for second half: Long Bree Harwood-Bellis Quarshie Manning Bragg Matsuki Edozie Archer Akachukwu Downs

HT: Eastleigh 1-2 Saints

Here's the Saints goals

Blackmore going on about Roerslev heading off after 30 min 'isn't good news' even though Tonda said before the game that he would take him off after 30 to ease him back in

Eastleigh 1-2 Saints Fellows assist again. Goes down the right, gets a nice cross in and Oyekunle with a diving header

Tom Fellows cross floated to the back post, Leo Scienza scores with a header. Keeper tried to push it back out but Lewis Dobbin slammed it in
