Not if we play 4222 and he remains 4th/5th choice behind Bednarek, Vestergaard, Yoshida and possibly Hoedt.

Why weren't those 'proper ones'?

It'll be the 3rd friendly this summer at De Kuip... vs Panathinaikos on 17th July vs Angers on 24th July

There is a free to play PC demo of FM 2019 on Steam give it a try and decide and I'd guess the full game will be heavily reduced in price in any upcoming Steam sales. FM 2020 won't be out until circa October/November

Not entirely fair... Lemina played in all 14 of Mark Hughes shambles of league games and was injured for a lot of Hasenhuttl's turnaround of the season.

Why Scott Sinclair?

Juliet?

Probably team bonding in a different environment

Why have you decided to ignore many 1st team players are not in the squad because pre-season is about building fitness for the entire squad including youngsters. Saints have a game in Macau in a few days, some of those missing will be travellingvfircthat and many if not all from today won't fly to Macau.

Fonte is a key part of a Lille side that came 2nd last season and in the Champions League!

'No pace at the back' Valery and Bertrand are not slow and I'm not including a centre back who hasn't signed. 'ill-disciplined midfield' Not sure why you think that. '4 forwards' What is wrong with 4 attacking players in a team of 11 players? If I listed them in a 442 with Redmond and Djenepro as wingers would that make a difference?

Targett, Gallagher and who else?

Why not?

A front four of Redmond, Djenepro, Ings & Adams would be interesting to see using the style. Gunn Valery Bednarek Vestergaard Bertrand Ward-Prowse Hojbjerg Redmond Djenepro Ings Adams

That is how Hasenhuttl's 4222 system worked at RB Leipzig. You go direct to the quick strikers, if they get it great, if they don't then the opponent is on the back foot trying to deal with it and stretched out of position and you counter press high up the pitch. Hard to do with Elyounoussi... as he is ****!

Saints have just Everton's chief scout Martyn Glover...!

On what grounds could they legally stop paying him? Being daft on social media doesn't hold up well if challenged.

It may be reused footage.

Harrison Reed was not named in the 26 man squad on Monday. But looks like he is there now...

Not if Saints don't have room to include him in the 25 man squad list for the Premier League!

If we are basing things on smiles whilst on a team bonding training camp... Cedric and Hoedt are also smiling and the captain has his arms around them both. What do you make of that Charlie?

That is less than the £26.5m Bournemouth got for selling a backup centre back to a newly promoted side! Plus Mings is also older than Lemina. In a market where Man Utd pay £50m for a right back with one Premier League season Saints should be looking for a lot more than merely breaking even for a player of Lemina's quality. I know he hasn't been consistent at Saints but in terms of ability he is one of our best players even if not currently 1st choice. He is exactly what Man Utd and Arsenal need in central midfielder and should warrant a huge price.

If Saints signed him they would be ****ing about! He is not a player to improve us, I'd rather have Bednarek & Vestergaard than Cahill. Nor does Cahill at 33 years old meet Hasenhuttl's criteria of young players 24 and under to improve.
