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.

Isn’t Hudson-Odoi on over £100k a week?? He’s not what we need. We need two strikers and a no-nonsense CB in ASAP.

I assume that Redmond was brought on by Hassenhutl in the 92nd minute to spite Che Adams. God knows why else he would have made that substitution other than if finance was in the mix….

I thought that was Lee Holmes (?)….

Didn’t he do an utterly ridiculous handball in the last game of the season which went a long way to relegating Burnley?

Perry Groves wasn’t a great investment…..

Just read on SKY that McKennie has been offered to Burnley on loan from Juve. Think we were after him last year. Could be an option.

Agreed. We shouldn’t go overboard on Tino. Players often have a really promising start when nobody has heard of them, and then the oppo get clued up and suss out how to nullify them.

Could do a lot worse than Schar. Though I think Worrall would have a more imposing presence.

Guardiola’s No. 2 is much the same. Says bugger all in games. Having seen the “All or Nothing” show on Amazon Prime about City, they even employ a bloke who is an ex water polo international who is basically a very good mate of Guardiola…..

Wonder if Forest would be interested in Obafemi or Shane…..
