Matthew Le God

Not particularly Northern. He was born in Kettering in the East Midlands and played for Watford, Bristol City, Northampton, Luton and previously managed Watford.

Winning every game is unlikely to be enough. The gap is too big and would require terrible runs of form from the clubs above Pompey.

Thomas Frank became Brentford manager before Hasenhüttl joined Saints.

No he isn't, he's only 28

I'd rather we didn't start with our 4th and 5th best centre backs when the 1st, 2nd and 3rd best are all fit and available!

Can you give names of players for both categories please.

Oh dear what?

It wasn't really a case of them letting him go. Chelsea wanted to keep him and he wanted to leave.

Chance to do what?

Saints have been linked before. Perhaps an alternative to Broja...

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
