They are both central midfielders, but that is the position... not the role. Romeu's role is more defensive than Winks.

They don't play in the same role. Why would Romeu or his agent pay any attention to a media rumour about Winks?

I think it is merely a sign that senior players with numbers are unlikely to be switched away from numbers they already have and they like the number. I think Bazunu will quickly become first choice and when McCarthy eventually leaves Bazunu may opt to have the number 1 shirt.

Napoli opting for Ibrahima Diallo's brother. So maybe they won't want Bednarek having previously been linked to him...

Paultons Park wasn't a big enough pull factor to keep the Delap family in Hampshire when Rory Delap left for Sunderland when Liam was 3 years old.

Two trialists...

Watch Southampton under 21s live...

Saints got Edwards (and many other academy players) from other clubs. Saints do the same to others!

At the bottom of the list it says... "Romain Perraud, Theo Walcott and Nathan Redmond have remained at Staplewood to continue work to be 100 per cent fit for selection. All three are expected to be fit to rejoin training when the team returns on Wednesday 20th July."

Plus... "Romain Perraud, Theo Walcott and Nathan Redmond have remained at Staplewood to continue work to be 100 per cent fit for selection. All three are expected to be fit to rejoin training when the team returns on Wednesday 20th July."

Loaning a 26 year old to be 3rd or 4th choice centre midfielder probably wouldn't appeal to Spurs or Winks. Loans are generally to get a decent amount of gametime. Buying him for a club record or close to club record fee to be 3rd or 4th choice makes even less sense than loaning him.

West Ham get Gianluca Scamacca, Newcastle get Alexander Isak... Saints get Broja (unless Everton scupper it) 😇

Visitors at training yesterday...

Newcastle possibly out of the running for Broja unless they want them both...

They are leaving the UK on Wednesday https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2022-05-24/southampton-pre-season-announcement-austria-klagenfurt-2022
