Feels like the owner has decided we’ve stayed up this season, and just trying to see through to the summer with the current squad, cost saving where possible. Feel sorry for Ralph.

So we’re not going to sign him today if he’s on loan at Fulham for the rest of this season?

Is he not on loan at Fulham anymore?

Adam Blackmore @AdamBlackmore · 2m Southampton have ended their interest in Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles, after becoming increasingly frustrated in negotiations with his reps #saintsfc will continue to pursue other targets between now & 11pm

AMN would make sense given he can play RB, LB, CM and could also probably play in either of the "10's" if we had noone else. Would be a good acquisition for us in this current time. It's the only thing I see happening today, don't think there is anything in Gilmour or King personally.

Can't really see much difference in quality to be honest. Only thing I'd say, is that it looks a bit odd without the UA logo on.

And West Ham just bought Benrahma fir £25m and Lingard on loan for best part of £5m...!

Will be a tough night.... Mccarthy; Valery Bednarek Stephens Bertrand; JWP Jankewitz; Armstrong Ings Adams Redmond Damaged limitation I feel

Cant imagine we'd let both of our left backs go this window, but nothing surprises me with Mr Gao.

We will be if he runs his contract down.

Yeah, but it sounds like he doesn’t want to wait 2 years to maybe get a part on the bench. His choice.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with believing in himself. Last season Smallbone was in front of him (rightly or wrongly) and then the club brought in Diallo. Probably doesn’t see a path to starting regularly for the club, and wants to play. Whether that’s now or in 2 years time, if JWP and Diallo are here, it’s unlikely he’ll play.

https://theathletic.com/news/southampton-transfer-alexandre-jankewitz/YhsB5nwmgMYp Interesting...given the hype he’s had, I think it would be a blow to the club who think very highly of him...

He brought in £15m, and probably wanted to play regularly. We got good money for him.

Saw it coming personally...

Moyes has done a brilliant job at West Ham in fairness. Dawson was a shrewd signing, they have talent going forward, and picked up a few gems in Soucek and Coufal. Fair play to them.

My gut feel is he is the one we want. And the only one we want right now.

Interesting...may be a couple back from injury? Maybe KWP injury not as bad as first feared?! Always going to be tough with this many players out.

Not going to happen.

Also have said previously something like: “why would a multi million pound business be influenced by newspaper artickes”

Pretty sure there was an insider article a while back, and they were saying it absolutely does influence these decisions, as it ramps up potential hype / panic. For someone who sees everything so black and white, and nitpicks consistently on other people, you are wrong an awful lot of the time....

Macca KWP Vestergaard Bednarek Bertrand Armstrong JWP Diallo Walcott Ings Adams Possibly Salisu, but can’t include him yet.

Can’t see it being much different to this: Mccarthy; KWP Bednarek Stephens Vokins; Diallo JWP; Walcott Ings Adams Armstrong Hopefully get 1 or 2 back on the bench.

Not a particularly frightening fixture. COYS

Stupid decision, it was 100% offside.
