Matthew Le God

I think we may use 11 players in the starting line-up.

He was named as technical director in the summer of 2014. It isn't a new thing and hasn't stopped him being involved with the under 23s in the past.

A tweet by Ross Wilson last night suggests Bill died on Monday. He was probably in hospital for a few days after the heart attack.

Bill Green gave everything for our Club #SaintsFC

If we did that, they wouldn't be fresh for the league game only 3 days later. We don't need out best team out to beat Wolves' 1st team. Plus in any case Wolves will probably do similar and field a weakened side, as promotion is far more important for them.

How many club's that play 1 upfront can you name with four senior team strikers in their squads? You can only name 25 over 21 year olds in a squad. If we had 4 for every position that is 44 players and can't be done.

Part of the deal with the sponsors from Asia. Doesn't really matter when the draw is, we'll just find out 3 hours later when we wake up.

Him being listed as a sub doesn't really mean much. 29th January - Gabbiadini named as one of 12 possible subs for Napoli vs Palermo31st January - Gabbiadini joins SaintsItalian teams just name nearly everyone as sub, as they can use any of 23 players on a matchday.

He is 2nd in the pecking order as striker for league games, wouldn't it make sense to play him from the start in the cup? He'll be a bit miffed if he doesn't start vs Wolves, as will Long.

That team should be good enough to beat a Championship side, especially one that will also likely make lots of changes.

Game 1 - Swansea - sold out Game 2 - West Ham - sold out Stadium expansion by our new Chinese overlords!

Why don't you believe the club when they said van Dijk isn't going to be sold? A day after new owners, Krueger's statement yesterday would look ridiculous if they u-turn on it.

It is one of the main stories on the club website... https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-08-17/press-conference-part-one-mauricio-pellegrino-southampton-west-ham

I've seen quite a few Pompey fans think Saints still have large debts. So for any reading... Adam Leitch‏Verified account @adamleitchsportFollowing More Adam Leitch Retweeted Adam Leitch To confirm all loans to KL have been paid off as part of the deal so #saintsfc are more or less debt free .................. They were never an issue anyway, it was soft debt to the owner, just was waiting for her to sell up and the debts were removed as they now have been.

Bertrand went off injured vs Swansea, but was in training today...

This would be good if true. Liverpool fans & media won't believe it though, as it doesn't fit their narrative...

PR plant accusations! Really? :mcinnes: Can someone talk me through why a multimillion pound business would bother using forum members on this forum as a deliberate PR plant? This forum is read by a tiny, tiny % of the club's fanbase. That isn't a good use of PR, if they want to leak news so the fanbase knows they tell Jeremy Wilson, Adam Blackmore, Simon Peach. Any legitimate ITKs on this forum aren't doing it as part of an elaborate conspiracy by the club, they are doing it because someone they know has told them and on their own decision have posted it here.

He is a moody disruptive influence, past his 30th birthday and is on wages of £120,000 p/w. We aren't going to sign him.

He is a 66 year old pensioner and his legs have gone. I think we'd be looking for better.

Why does that make it bizarre? Harry Lewis gets senior team experience for a season, we have a Jack Rose to play for the under 23s.

He is being linked with a £35m move to Spurs. I very much doubt we'll sign another centre back unless van Dijk leaves. The club probably intend the main pairing to be van Dijk and Stephens once the window closes. We won't be signing another keeper. We have 3 senior keepers for the 1st team squad of 25. Why would we sign a 4th? Forster will be number one, you may not like ti, but it won't change.

You don't know what the word "literally" means.

How many example's of footballers in world football history can you name that have refused to play for an entire season? What benefit is there to him refusing to play once the transfer window is shut? He may get stroppy again in January, but we could hold firm until the summer of 2018 again. Next summer he'll still have 4 years left on his contract, so he'll still be worth a lot of money if we do as we did with Schneiderlin & Wanyama and force them to stay an extra year. Yes, they weren't happy but they still play a key role in very successful seasons.

People forget just how young Ward-Prowse is and how much top league experience he has already got for someone his age. When Lallana was Ward-Prowse's current age he hadn't played a single minute in the Premier League, let alone for a top 8 team! Ward-Prowse has played in 137 Premier League games at a young age, how many other players his age have that much exposure to playing for a top 8 PL team? It is a tiny number. He hasn't fluked it, he has deserved it.

The Scouse accent barely counts as English.
