Saint Garrett

I think it's unlikely, especially if we're spanning different contracts (UA / Hummel)

Think he looks absolutely quality bearing in mind his experience and age. Really excited about his future, would half expect him to be first choice next season, but will be difficult getting in the team ahead of Vestergaard assuming he's still here next season. And Ralph doesn't seem to like dropping Bednarek.

But according to people on here, Ralph is tactically inept?

Not sure it’s case of him not rating him, but clearly something isn’t right behind the scenes, especially given he wants out. Maybe the club aren’t willing to give him pitch time if he’s going in the summer anyway?

Surely it’s a combination of Smallbone / Armstrong. Diallo will have a seasons experience too, and Romeu back fit. Cant see us spending money when we don’t need to, when we have more pressing issues

Poor player. No future here IMO

It looked more like we switched Salisu to LB and put Stephens into Bednareks place. KWP just seemed to have more freedom to get up the pitch, so looked more like a slightly lopsided 4-2-2-2, rather than changing system to me.

He’s unreal. So clinical. Let’s just hope he signs the context, club seem very confident that what he wants hasn’t materialised…(guessing it’s a top 4 club - City Utd Chelsea Liverpool in my mind)

Expecting Macca to be back in for this one? Macca; KWP Stephens Vestergaard Salisu; JWP Armstrong; Tella Adams Ings Redmond

Another good performance tonight, he rarely has bad games, he’s just not a natural goalscorer. We’re a far better side when he is in the team.

Played well tonight, especially first half. doesn’t deserve the abuse he gets on here.

Agreed. Some fans just don’t like him. Makes no sense to me.

He always struggles against strong centre forwards, Antonio, Wood, Barnes, Benteke….

Minamino is terrible: offers nothing at all. Would get him off at HT personally.

Really good half from Redmond apart from the decision to make the tackle, not sure why he was over there, but been dangerous going forward.

Think it’s highly likely, don’t we pay them less money if we play him too? Probably partly due to that. Cant imagine he’s playing because he’s the best option. He’s crap.

Happy with that team. Jankewitz has clearly burned his bridges or he’s off in the summer. Minamino an odd one for me, I’d have liked to have seen Tella instead of him, and ideally Salisu in, but the rest is fine. They’ve got a very attacked side out so should be a good game.

He's got no value, as he's out of contract, can go wherever he wants.

We ended up booking 3 single tickets on our own in the same block, which is crap cos it means we're taking up more space in the ground. We're now going to email them to try and move us so we can sit together. The system is appalling, and there is no excuses for it.

Yeah - they're eligible but greyed out so I can't click on them....so irritating...

Has anyone been able to get tickets for someone else on their account, friend and family? We're both eligible, but can't allocate second ticket, odd...

Not sure there is a huge amount of difference between him and Adams tbh.

Without looking very far, details in here https://theathletic.com/2319471/2021/01/13/southampton-accounts-losses-football-soccer/ Probably in multiple other sites if you google MSD loan.

If he doesn’t, I’d expect him to be sold in the summer. Makes no sense not to give him a chance otherwise.

Club have mentioned it more than once. There to help through lack of income due to covid. The club is meant to be self sustainable, and using a £75m loan on transfers isn’t sustainable….club gets no money from the owner.
