Saint Garrett

Would be good - has certainly been in quite a few of the media bits from the club over the last month.

This.... However looking at the squad, I can't see this as being realistic at the moment - need to have another look come September 1st...

We would, but then we would have been forced to buy English than buy squad players from abroad (Juanmi, Martina etc) Would only push the price of very average English players up though...you'd get to the point where Redmond would be a £30m player cos he's played in the prem a few times...

Heard no more are going, I fully expect that to be the case.

Lot of money that, I'm surprised West Ham haven't tried to engineer some kind of swap deal including Berahino

Guessing Redmond either plays at the tip or up front in this formation then....same as Tadic. Seems a few people were impressed with Hojbjerg yesterday who played at the base of the diamond. Not sure we have enough options to play two up top, I'd say if we're going to play 2 up top then we need another forward brought in. Relies very heavily on the full backs getting forward.

Yup... Jack Sullivan ‏@jsullivanwhu 9h I would like to say Not everything the club does, I agree with and I have no role or say at the West Ham. I only tweet news and my view!

On the verge of signing him apparently...19yrs old, "all action" midfielder. Wouldn't expect to see him making much of an impact this season, could signal the end for Harry Reed? Obligatory YouTube vid...

Supposedly Sammy Lee is a bit of a ****.

We were stronger at the start of last season, but there is still time...I still fully expect us to sign a "marquee" signing if you want to call it that.

Everton hell bent on getting Butland from what I've heard.

Supposedly him and Sammy Lee didn't get on. Watson has also lost his England job, as Sam is bringing in his own man.

Dave rates Fraser highly....

He's normally a bit all over the place defensively, hopefully he will have learnt a lot from last season and can make the RB spot his this season. Martina is poor and was chosen (rightly) ahead of him last season.

I was told by someone who knows Dave, that he'll stay until Fraser leaves, and if he does leave, he'll probably go with him as he rates him that highly.

Can only be a good thing...! Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 5m #SaintsFC is pleased to announce Dave Watson has extended his contract and becomes the club's Head of Goalkeeping: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/20160725-dave-watson-new-contract-announcement-southampton-3205223.aspx

You can subscribe to the Twitter account where they announce all news, so it sends you a notification when they tweet, handy for me. Normally turn it off during the games though, can get irritating otherwise

Virgin trains?! Ticket reduction?

I'm just going on what I've seen of him, I hope he has a great season, I just don't think he will. Not sure where I said the above, just seems to be pretty useless unless he is in the 6 yard box. we shall see. Would be great to see Long get 15/20 goals this season, bearing in mind he should be first choice all season.

I have quite a few times, I just don't think he is that great - ok as a backup striker as long as he is fit. Lacks pace and strength, two things very important in the premier league.

Even if he's fit, I still think it's a concern...he doesn't seem to offer anything unless he is in the box, people seem to be underestimating how good some of Pelle's hold up play was!

I would expect after what Les Reed has mentioned previously about the whole club playing 4-3-3 from 8 yrs old upwards, I expect this is one of Puels musts. ---------Forster Cedric Fonte VVD Bertrand Davis Romeu Hojbjerg NEW Long Tadic With Clasie, JWP, Rodriguez, Redmond and Austin coming in giving cover. Wouldn't be surprised to see Long played out right and Austin through the middle though.

Could also argue we need a Striker but sounds like Austin is our replacement which to me a big worry.

£13m is a lot of money for Allen!
