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!

Is that not because hes still on holiday after the euros?

Is N'Jie any good, would he be a loan option to replace Mane?

Wasn't he offered to Barca a few weeks ago? Not sure why he is unhappy. Great little player.

He only plays a few games a season, I wouldn't want him here. Amazing deal for Newcastle that.

I think you look at Spurs's squad and it looks really strong, ready for them to play Champions League football and rotate the squad. Wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of a few too.... Mason, Bentaleb, Fazio, Yedlin.

Can't help but think we'd be stupid to miss out on Kapusta if he's available for 1/3 of a $chlong

Redmond is a decent player, but if we're relying on him to replace Mane then thats a huge ask. I know wasn't great last season, but his unpredictability will be a massive miss. I personally feel that we need to bring in another exciting attacking player who will get fans off their seats. Austin hasn't shown anything last season to give us the opinion he is capable of replacing Pelle. I am concerned we will not have anywhere near the amount of goals in our side. If we can get J-Rod back firing then great, but thats also a big gamble.
