Abject. THB at fault for goals 2 & 3. Bazunu terrible for Goal 1 Downs useless. Azaz Terrible. embarrassing defeat, Hull conceded 11 goals in the last 4 and we’ve hardly tested their goal keeper

100% agree. I'd rather have the VVDs, Manes, Lavias, Livramento for 2 seasons than not at all. If we want to be an ambitious club, we need to sign ambitious players, as part of that process the clubs trajectory maybe slower than a players and the player wants to move on.

Almost certainly this.

Reports West Brom in for him as a fellows replacement https://www.westbromnews.co.uk/2025/08/29/west-brom-now-in-talks-to-sign-brazilian-forward-as-tom-fellows-replacement/

Yeah I agree, thought the ball could have been better from Charles. Also agree about the partnership with Archer, they were busy all night and caused problems. I'm looking forward to seeing him more to be honest.

Omari Kellyman would be a player i'd be looking at to take on loan

Hoping to see at least another 6 more leave. Bella-Kotchap Edozie Ben Brenton Diaz Will Smallbone Joe Aribo Charlie Taylor Would expect to see 3 then come in. Accomplished Midfielder, Attacking Midfielder and a winger

Smallbone to Wrexham being reported for £7.5m https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25413549.championship-rivals-reportedly-make-7-5m-transfer-bid-smallbone/ Hopefully frees up a midfield position in the squad. I’d love us to try for Josh Brownhill a solid goal scoring midfielder. fofana from Chelsea maybe an attacking option, was on loan at Goztepe last season.

We have The Chain of ffp around us, remember.

I think in general there’s a trickle down effect in play, bigger transfers for the bigger clubs seem to always happen at the beginning of the window. That then gives the middle tier clubs who have sold players, money to spend, they buy off the lower middle tier, who in turn buy off the top of the lower tier etc etc. there’s also allot of brinkmanship going on, players holding out for moves in the hope something else comes up later in the window which slows down the process. Ramsdale is probably the perfect example, he probably has offers (like Sunderland) that are currently on ICE in the hope something better comes along. Maybe Man Utd offload their keeper later in the window and go for ramsdale, maybe Utd buy Martinez and Villa becomes and option for Ramsdale…. Maybe none of that happens and Sunderland is his best option but maybe they got feed up of waiting and have bought someone else. i think it’s unavoidable that all business is done towards the end of the window, unless you’re one of the big clubs with the biggest draw and most money. even Newcastle have come out this week and said how their window hasn’t gone to plan because the players they chase either move elsewhere or they’re priced out, they have way more money and draw than we do

Never heard of him but he's played nearly a 100 games in the Portuguese top flight over the last 3 seasons, so he has pedigree. He played nearly all games in the 22/23 season when Arouca finished 5th (Arouca qualified for Europe) He played nearly all games in the 23/24 season when Arouca finished 7th, also played 2 games in europe He played nearly all games last season, when Arouca finished 12th. 37 caps for Guinea and 8 goals too

Shocked by the response to this news. Sometimes signings aren't always about performances on the pitch, they're about influence off it. We've had an abundance of chancers sign for us in the last 5 years or so, absolute wasters who couldn't give 2 shits about this football club. We need solid voices in the dressing room, committed professionals who live and breath Southampton football club and lead by professional example. He is a more than capable footballer at this level, he is a leader and when we go up and we improve the squad, he'll happily play 3rd or 4th fiddle to better quality CBs and he wont moan or bitch, he'll set an example to younger players about professional conduct and what it means to play for this club. I would rather have 11 Jack Stephens than a Bella Kotcha, Wesley Hoedt, Mara, Caleta-Car, Orsic, Sulemana, Salisu, Lemina, Vestergaard etc etc etc

You'd have to assume from the signing of Quarshie that we'll be selling at least 2, probably 3 CBs this summer. I'd assume that would be Bella-Kotchap and Bednarek (because of the £6m release clause) I'd like us to try and keep Harwood-Bellis but of course he's the most likely 3rd leaving us with Wood-Gordon, Stephens, Edwards, Quarshie, Kayi-Sanda

I think Onuachu maybe the best worst player we’ve had at our club. ive still no idea if he’s actually any good 🤣 Most of the time he looks like Bambi on ice with very limited technical ability, he’s all arms and legs. it always feels like such a massive fluke when he turns with the ball and beats a few players, or wins a duel with the ball bouncing off his chest, knees, legs and then landing favourably at his feet. Yet despite all of that, he’s a massive problem for the opposition and seems to offer us something we’ve been lacking. He puts himself about, he always seems to be involved positively when going forward and he’s a right time right place kind of player. He’d arguably get over double figures in the premier league if he started every game. id like to see us play off him allot more, to often we’re playing long to him but no ones close enough to capitalise on the second ball. I don’t know if I’d keep him or not, if we can claw back £7-£10m for him I’d probably let him go, purely because he’s 31 this year and it maybe the best chance we have to get some kind of return, even so, if we end up keeping him, he’d probably be a 20 goal a season striker in the championship, as crazy as that sounds
