Saint Garrett

Obviously it will completely depend on us getting rid of the "deadwood"...(Forster/McCarthy, Rose, McQueen/Targett, Cedric, Stephens, Hoedt, Reed, Clasie, Hesketh, Armstrong?, Boufal?, Elyounoussi, Gallagher, Austin, Carrillo, Barnes) Would leave us with a squad of GK Gunn Forster/McCarthy Lewis RB Valery Ramsay CB Vestergaard Yoshida Bednarek Jones LB Bertrand Targett? Vokins DM Romeu CM Lemina Hojbjerg JWP Armstrong? Slattery AM Redmond Djenepo Sims Boufal? Johnson ST Ings Long Obafemi I'd say: First choice CB First choice ST / Alternate option to Ings DM as competition to Romeu Possibly backup to Valery / LB if either Targett or Bertrand leave A keeper if we get rid of both Forster and McCarthy, however would be tempted to do without one if we only get rid of one of them.

Think he’ll end up at Man Utd personally to replace Pogba Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Depends how much they rate Ramsay, and also depending on the system we play next year, one of Stephens, Reed, JWP can fill in there, though far from ideal. And obviously depends who is here come the start of the season. I'd much rather use the money to strengthen at CB or ST where we are way more desperate.

Dont know, but I'd expect this has been put a way down the priority list, with the emergence of Valery.

He also never seems to like to overlap down the wing either, which makes him far less of a threat than Bertrand going forward. I'd say he's arguably not at the required level to play in the Premier League, let alone sign for one of the "big boys", but I guess he's relatively young, and counts towards their homegrown quota.

Probably b0llocks but... https://www.90min.com/posts/6392446-exclusive-liverpool-make-enquiry-to-southampton-over-signing-of-left-back-matt-targett?utm_source=RSS

Absolutely - Mane was largely useless until Christmas of the first season, second half of the season he looked ok. Following season he started to be class. It will take time for sure. But the unpredictability and the raw pace certainly gives us another option. Wouldn't be surprised if he spends quite a bit of time as an impact sub to start with.

West Ham signing Pablo Fornals. Will be a good signing. They should have a strong side next season, should absolutely have no issue finishing top 10.

He’s on the long term injury list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Lemina isn't good enough defensively to protect the defence, hence why we struggled when Romeu didnt play

Probbaly better than all of our lot tbf.

Would happily take one of the big boys first game, get one out the way. Chelsea away would be my preference.

And Clasie and Forster

Must be a few dotted about the Championship. Agree it's a pain position though, but you're right, not one of our CB's are good enough to be first choice in any premier league side. Not helped by only having Romeu who can play in front of them, and he's a liability when it comes to being booked. Neither of Hojbjerg or Lemina can play that role.

Walking through your front door when you get back from a stag doo.

In the midfield 3?

TBH - his stock is probably the lowest it's been in years, a loan might work for both parties if he has a good season. But I'd accept £10m probably to get rid of him.

Fenerbahce ? http://sportwitness.co.uk/director-begins-initiatives-sign-southampton-attacker-offer-made/

Will take time to adjust I think if we do sign him. Lets not forget how good Boufal looked on YouTube!

Irrelevant if the market is overpriced. Agree we like to do things o the cheap, but if we don’t pay the market rate we don’t get the quality. Simple as that. If he’s good enough to be playing for us in the premier league, he’s probably worth double that.

No such thing as the Premiership.

Certainly wouldn't be sad to see him go. Sellable asset, £12-15m I'd struggle to reject. Interested to see what we'd do in that position though if he was to leave. Is Vokins good enough yet to fill in if Bertie gets injured? Questionable.

Zero confidence in him to do a good job, he's been awful for us so far on the face of it. Let's wait and see how he gets on this summer. Job is on the line for sure....

Have we announced a "released" list yet, or did we have no-one whose contract was up?

Going into Supermarkets at non busy times, and still being stuck in a queue of 10 people because there is one person on the tills.
