Pat from Poole

He's crap.

+1.

The club’s unofficial spokesman. I suspect Semmens saw this coming and fed Blackmore the line to make it look as if we had done all we could.

Talk Sport just confirmed Gapko as staying at PSV. Best get a different striker, Saints….

Is this because we’re buying Mitrovic, and our PSV fella was just a smokescreen?

What’s Das Bost up to?

Quite why Spurs would be after Dan James is completely beyond me.

This forum will be immensely better if MLG were not to re-appear.

From Poole; but then I guess the clue was in my username..... Just doing aways at the moment, will attend home games when the Club relent on their idiocy of restricting Blocks 1 and 2 to ST holders.

Yes. And we need a striker.

Gakpo was nothing special against Rangers last week. Didn’t see anything to convince me he would be a better bet than Broja.

Extremely dodgy attitude by the sound of it. Notable that Rangers seem to have really pulled together as a team without him.

Kent played pretty well. I like the Rangers side; they really play as a team.

Yes, I watched it. None of the PSV team looked like stars at all. Rangers were very good. Maybe we should have signed Tom Lawrence; think they got him on a free. They are really going to miss Aribo in the group stages though.

It wasn’t so much what Hassenhutl said. It was more the way he said it. He looked like he had had a gutful of Broja, and some.

SKY’s Transfer Show just said that Saints and Boscombe are after Naitland-Miles.He’s in the last year of his contract, so the fee shouldn’t be huge. Watch him sign for Boscombe now…. 🙄

Even if Stephens goes to Watford?

Verthongen is predominately a left-sided CB. Who can also play LB.

OK. Current era, then. James Milner is 37.

Maldini was nearly 39 when he won the Champions League for AC Milan against the Scousers.

Well, he could also provide very useful LB cover if we’re playing a 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2, I would say. Think he would be a potentially excellent signing. I would sign him just for his shithousery personally.

You need the UI for scoops…. 😉 https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/forum/288546/don´t-shoot-the-messenger-..-verthongen-on-a-free-from-benfica/#6

So Garner is possibly JWP’s replacement in 12 months, whereas Lavia is Oriol’s replacement now???

Forest will be absolutely fine. They have an excellent manager, and have bought well. We will play very few worse sides than Leeds this season. They are one of the three sides we have to finish above, along with Fulham and Boscombe.

Madness to let Adams go, particularly to a likely relegation rival; he’s a whole-hearted player who has got steadily better each season. Not prolific, but then we are hardly prolific in creating great chances.
