Reverse psychology m'lud

If we don't have clubs trying to take Livramento and Salisu off our hands next summer then I'm Arthur Mullard.

Never. Any. Doubt Job done

They'll equalise. Inevitable unfortunately

Can't remember JWP being subbed off ever

I'm not wearing any

Ok Captain Hindsight

Yeah, but... we should definitely have kept a disillusioned striker in the final year of his contract because of his historical brilliance...

The cue to put money on Armstrong being our highest scorer this season. Cheers for the tip off DellDays 👍

On reflection, not bad for a "Championship level striker" to be fair

Scuffed it

The Daily Express? Assume they're also reporting an upcoming 'Arctic Winter' on the front page...?

Rudi Skacel

All things considered (and that includes the likelihood that this thread is premised on a made up article), I'm also in the "bite their hand off for c.£50" camp. As much as I admire JWP, I think there would be mutual benefit in him embarking on a new challenge at this stage of his career. As people have highlighted, we seem to have a bit more fluidity/energy in our midfield whilst he's been out. We ought to be able to use the proceeds of selling JWP to purchase another player in the Diallo or JWP mould and, maybe, a new keeper and/or a creative Tadic-esque mid-fielder. Freshening things up in this way somehow feels the right thing to do (just a gut feel), despite there also being logic in not selling one of our key players (and captain) mid-way through the season. p.s. plus it might open up a pathway into the first team set-up for promising U18/U23 midfielders such as Watts, Chauke, Finnigan or Ballard...?

Depends which publication one believes I guess... Yet to happen according to this Echo article last week: https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19644326.alex-mccarthy-happy-southampton-will-likely-renew-deal/

The starting 11 I would pick: Forster KWP - Lynaco - Salisu - Peraud Tino - Diallo - Romeu - Djenepo Broja - A.Armstrong The starting 11 I think Ralph will pick: McCarthy Tino - Bednarek - Salisu - KWP JWP - Romeu S.Armstrong - Redmond Broja - A.Armstrong

Good performance. Out via the lottery of penalties. More positives than negatives. Next.

Come on!

We should be ahead here
