Matthew Le God

How much do you think he'd cost, considering he was sold by relegated Sunderland for £30m before he was first choice for England?

Pickford cost Everton circa £30m from relegated Sunderland. Unlike then, he is now first choice for England so his value will be higher. There is better value abroad as @Sheaf Saintsaid.

He had a Stuart Armstrong quiff when at Saints...

I don't know about the sale, but this weekend...

I was joking

Currently it is only on a deal until the summer, he could pick a different team then. Premier League rules meant he couldn't join Saints for this season.

Afterwards... 😉 He was at Saints... from 2001 to 2006 He was at Stoke... from 2007 to 2013

The thinking is... Long throw in = set piece Something he was very effective at.

Dragan Solak is in an ongoing feud with Serbian government. They very much disagree on a lot of things.

I'd guess a loan to the Championship might be the only way we could get Theo out of the squad next season. With Saints still paying a large % of his wages until his contract expires next summer.

He has been injured. It isn’t his ability that is the reason for only one goal this season.

Southampton, Brighton, Bournemouth and even Plymouth have already risen above Pompey thanks

Bale scored 11 goals in 20 Premier League games as recently as last season, which is clearly a decent return. I don't recall Shane Long managing that last season.

His link to Cardiff has nothing to do with his current ability. It is due to his Welsh heritage.

He has always been significantly better than Walcott and would be an upgrade on our starting XI.

As opposed to the Champions of Europe winning vs Brentford and being full of confidence when we play them? You can turn it into a negative either way. I think what is more key is the fixture sandwich in the opening post of this thread. Chelsea have very little in the way of recovery and preparation time with two games vs Real Madrid either side of playing Saints.

As opposed to them winning and being full of confidence?

Not really, a draw reflects the game well. Plus Saints had more shots and more on target than Leeds.

That isn't his name and he isn't even starting. 😉

It still might be the normal 4222. Diallo has played in quite a few games for us in the 'Armstrong role" as a number 10.

A lot of our attacking threat is from the fullbacks being very high up the pitch.

This is Denmark in 1992... (Did you mean the Denmark 1986 kit that was the template Saints used shortly afterwards?) Below is Saints 1987 to 1989 and Denmark World Cup 1986...

There won't be any more breaks than there is this season. 3 plus half time for each team.
