Surely no chance of Wilshere, the guy is a waste of space, wouldn’t fit our system, and would cost a shit load of money, no thankyou.

Yeah, bit weird this other transfer window not closing for a few weeks. Hopefully we’ll see one more in, but not fussed really. Already very happy with this window, wanted a CB, CM and a RB, got those three days plus a squad replacement for Boufal.

Option...ffs

Wonder if there is an alternate full back we're looking at as another option, obviously been linked with Yedlin today.

Tbf, pretty much only from you...

https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2020-10-05/announcement-christoph-klarer-transfer-southampton-fortuna-dusseldorf Klarer joined Fortuna Dusseldorf on a permanent deal...always thought he was earmarked for the future. Clearly not.

TBF, he was a last min option

Wouldn't blame him going to Barcelona as a kid, however I hope he stays to develop his career here. Could be a really good player for us in a few years, but also could bring us in a load of money too if he gets into the first team.

Dont think we need him.

Don’t think that matters as we aren’t close to using all the squad spaces up...given the squad is so small. He’s an improvement on the current players, so not sure what there is to moan about tbh.

Is it replacing with deadwood if you get a relatively cheap one year loan? It will cost us roughly £2m in total for an ex international, in a position we need depth. it either works and we look to buy him next summer, or it doesn’t and it costs us relatively f*ck all

"Another"?? The only players we have in the squad over 30 are: McCarthy, Forster, Bertrand and Long We haven't really had any alternate options off the bench, hence why Smallbone and Tella have got minutes, despite being nowhere near good enough yet.

https://theathletic.com/news/southampton-transfer-news-theo-walcott-everton/h4LaN2tO2lPz Looks like it's happening, 50% of his wages which I am guessing would cost us ca £50-60K a week.. Think it's a good bit of business that will give us experience, squad depth and versatility in the "10" positions and a different option up front.

In fairness, playing in our midfield is incredibly difficult as we only play 2 in there, he can keep it a lot more simple and just sit in one place, it's easier, there was never any doubt he was a class player.

I'd absolutely take Walcott. Offers something we do not have, in raw pace. Can play either through the middle or either wing, and makes the squad stronger. I hope he joins.

He’s clearly a quality player, and was for us. He’s also a very good fit for spurs. But we’ve both moved on. Let’s hope Diallo can push the current two, and replace one of them.

Villa excellent or Liverpool atrocious? Villa 100% record. Could be a really interesting season at the top of the premier league, let’s hope so.

Just watched him on Youtube, looks incredible, sign him up.

Sounds positive, anyone know if he's any good?

TBF, when we signed Ings, nothing was really in the press until about 10pm that evening...I'll hold judgement until Monday evening, but isn't looking brilliant. Think it's now very unlikely we'll be bringing in anyone from abroad.

Think we can buy from the Championship until the end of their window, not quite sure why

Include Ings in that too....

I got round it by following the link on the email, adding some from the "season ticket" area of the site, applied discount code, added what I actually "wanted" (loose term as it's pretty much all crap", and then removed the original item, seemed to work. Seems like it's a lottery as to whether it will work or not, and which items it will work against. The website is absolutely appalling.

Bertrand absolutely would. If teams could pick him up on a free, West Ham, Newcastle, Everton would probably be all over him.

When does the transfer window close? It's not looking good to bring in the "minimum 2 maybe 3" players that Ralph wanted... I do have some real concerns for us this season if we go into the season like this.
