Matthew Le God

His loan had finished so there was no need to recall him and his contract ended this summer.

Harry Isted made his under 21 debut this month.

Dan Demkiv Chris Regis Niall Mason Mark Irvine Have also been released by Saints.

In the past she's turned loans into equity and could do so again... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17547804

Could say similar of people using the number of 50's or 100's in cricket as a gauge of how well someone has done. Why 50 and not 49, why 100 and not 99? So why not 33 goals conceded?

Since football began in 1992 and the Premier League started, only six teams had conceded 33 goals or less in a Premier League season. Saints can now join that list... Chelsea x11 Man Utd x10 Arsenal x8 Liverpool x6 Man C x2 Everton x1 Southampton x1

Koeman told the press a couple of weeks ago that the plan was for Gazzaniga was going to play two games and Davis would get the final game.

I did say that yes, but that isn't the same as saying if old footballers had the same conditions as the current footballers do they wouldn't be as good or better.

At no point did I say that. If the like of Greaves or Best been born in for example 1995 and had better diets, no smoking or alcohol and been trained in a modern academy from the age of 8 then I think they'd have been better than they were. They were still very good players, but would have been even better in the modern footballers environment.

Footballers of today are getting thousands of hours of professional technical coaching from the age of 8 (sometimes younger) upwards. In the 1970's and 1980's they were joining professional clubs at 16 after school and the coaching they received wasn't close to the level they now get. They also had a drinking and smoking culture, had poorer diets, played on terrible pitches and didn't have the high level of competition for places from international players from all round the world in their squads. You are looking back with rose tinted glasses, the footballers of today are technically more gifted. Southampton's 2nd place team of 1983/84 had only a handful of home British Isles internationals, Saints now have circa 20 current/recent internationals/under 21 internationals in their squad. I think if the two sides met on a modern pitch with a modern football the team of 2014/15 would win.

One of the keeper kits and shorts & socks for home kit...

Adam Leitch ‏@adamleitchsport 7h7 hours ago @JayRodriguez9 will not play for the under-21s tonight. He is fine but #saintsfc just taking a little extra caution

A player that couldn't get into a team relegated to League One, might be an "ok stop gap" for a team looking to compete at the top of the Premier League?

Its Blackburn that deal in chickens, not Burnley.

Its not really "free", in the same way Clyne wasn't really "free". A compensation package would need to be worked out with Burnley.

Would you give up a years worth of a Premier League players salary? Who would he coach? In terms of keeper coaches Saints already have... David Watson - 1st team Vince Bartram - Under 21's Ryan Flood - Under 18's and others for younger age groups

Would you give up a years worth of salary on your contract? Green is on £50,000 per week at QPR, I doubt Saints will pay any where near that for someone that will end up second fiddle to Forster. "4 or 5" what?

The last time Saints finished 7th or higher in top flight was 1989/90. A common factor with 1989/90 squad & Saints of 2014/15...

Nothing about that is hypocritical.

Benteke's hands are around Fonte's neck, it doesn't matter if its a split second of time in a photo or not... they shouldn't be there... ever.

It is a foul, you can't use an opponent for leverage and certainly can't do so with your hands around his neck.

Having your hands around an opponent's neck & using him for leverage to score a header is a foul...

"If" (and its a big if) Southampton beat Man City, then Liverpool have to beat Stoke City away or Southampton would finish above Liverpool for the 1st time ever.
