Says a lot that quite a few of our targets or former targets, are joining championship clubs...

Absolutely bugger all happening today...! Interested to see what happens to the below this season...can't see them getting many first team league apps this season. Hudson-Odoi Loftus-Cheek Lewis Baker Barkley Phil Jones Lingard Andreas Perieira Juan Mata Van De Beek Kolasinac Riess Nelson Balogun Maitland Niles Nketiah Elneny

Occasionally something comes out from nowhere, but can’t see it, and not expecting anything today.

Where has Wilson actually said that, because he certainly hasn’t tweeted anything about it.

Macca; Livramento, Stephens, Salisu, Perraud; Djenepo, JWP, Romeu, Tella; Armstrong, Adams Don't see Ralph dropping Tino.

Fair play, played well, but difficult to judge against such poor opposition. Everyone had so much space last night, but will be interesting to see how he gets on in the premier league. Up to him to prove he can do it.

Clearly something has gone on behind the scenes in the GK department. I hope a decent option for an improvement on McCarthy comes up next summer, as it's a position we really need to improve in. McCarthy is so poor. Forster is reported to be on a higher wage, so assuming that's why they've chosen to keep Macca and move Forster on finally. Not sure what happens if Macca has a really poor season and then Forster comes in and does well. Sounds like there is little route back for Forster now.

Good player and a really good signing I feel. Think we've just been a bit spoilt in the last few years with quite how good Ings' finishing is. Unfortunately, Armstrong is less clinical, but he fits into the way we play, seems to already have a really good partnership with Adams, and will score 10-15 this season, assuming he stays fit. Look forward to seeing his play develop, as he settles in further.

The bloke took his career for granted. Never took football seriously, smoked all the time, etc Assumed he'd always have a good career because he was talked up when he was young. Not a 10, not a DM not a wide player, and rarely fit enough to stick enough games together. And then gets involved with this article....I'm sure if he was that interested in playing he could have gone to Derby when they had 7 players or whatever it was a few weeks ago. I don't have a lot of sympathy for him tbh.

Almost certain Prowsey will play if fit. The bloke is a machine and he always plays, whether it's league or cup.

Did Thierry sign in time? If he did, I’d have him straight in, why not.

The screens are being replaced in a months time because they're 20 odd years old, think we're just going to have to live with that one for a few months. Likewise the TV's in the concourse weren't on.

One time target Weston Mckennie available for ca £25m. Possibly to spurs in a swap deal for Sissoko... Would be interested to see how he gets on in the premier league given we tried to sign him last summer.

Will Southampton do any other business? Yes. A move for Torino defender Lyanco is very close to being done. It is understood Southampton are now just waiting on the final pieces of paperwork and for his visa to be sorted."

Now official. https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1430107651191590914?s=20

My ST was fine, but it took quite a while to actually scan. Was no real issues in the kingsland/northam corner, apart from general slowness.

Reading didn't want to sell him. It's taken a long time for him to get to this level and fair play to him. The guy is a beast. But his technical ability, isn't brilliant. Even if we had signed him, he wouldn't still be here anyway, as we'd have likely sold him when we got into the premier league.

Torino have now bud for Kabak. Think this one is done

Simeu played tonight for the B team.

Interesting…decent signing if true.

Didnt Afobe get bought a few years ago and then sold the next day?

Was the same in the Kingsland Northam corner. There is no ground I've ever been to that is worse to get a pint before the game / at HT. I nipped down on 42 mins to get a quick pint, stood still for 10 mins in the queue, and gave up. I dread to think how much money they could make if they could actually serve quicker and satisfy demand. Why is there no "bottle only" bars for example, or people waling around with beer taps on their back like you see at other grounds. It is a mess atm.

Just been having a look, there is a 2 Wetherspoons not far from the ground called "The Godfrey Morgan" and "The John Wallace Linton". Doesn't seem to be many options really...no idea what they'll be like with away fans, I know nothing about them! "Potters" pub seems to be a more stylish modern sports bar jobby which looks quite nice.

He just doesn't really save that much does he...his save ratio must be poor. I expect keepers to make saves, and pull off the odd worldy save. He does neither. His distribution is poor too. Will be a good day when we're able to get rid of these two and bring in someone who instills a bit of confidence into the defence.

He’s got the shirt and he deserves it atm, he was excellent yesterday. Would be great if he could step up this season, but like others have said, he has a tendency to come in for a few games, play well, and then make mistake after mistake and give away simple goals. I really hope he can stay focused and have higher levels of performance this season.
