Jason McCarthy, or could even use Wanyama as a centre back as he played there on occasions for Celtic.

Toby Alderweireld was in light training today, Maya Yoshida is injured and Jason McCarthy was with the 1st team today so I'd guess he is the centre back cover tomorrow night. Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC @AlderweireldTob was in light training this morning after missing Saturday’s game through injury. #saintsfc

How have you jumped to the conclusion it was Shane Long? Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 1h FT: After Seager cancelled out Grant's opener, a second-half brace from Long hands @Everton the win at Staplewood. #SaintsFCU21s [1-3] Chris Long is an Everton player.

He returned to light training 7 days ago.

West Ham are effectively doing similar in order to fill the Olympic stadium. It helps increase the fan-base, raise the profile of the club and makes the club more appealing for sponsors. Okay, West Ham have a bigger fan base than us, but do you really think it is 32,000 stadium vs 54,000 stadium bigger?

Foreign clubs only at that point, but yes he can. He isn't going to sign a new contract at Saints, we all know that surely.

On what are you basing that?

The Boruc loan (if it happens) will be a short term loan of 3 months. After the transfer deadline in September you can't do loans which finish at the end of the season until the next window opens in January, you can only do short term loans in the meantime.

We can loan him out for 3 months.

Because Fraser Forster is our first choice, Boruc won't play for us as much as he wants and if Forster gets injured we would recall Boruc from his loan. Boruc would get the game time he wants and he wouldn't need to move house and uproot his family.

From today's press conference... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29260844?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

If the 4 original stands had 30k people in them vs West Brom for example, why would it matter atmosphere wise if a new Kingsland upper tier was empty? I doubt you'd really notice. When Man Utd etc come to town you sell the lower tier first and then open blocks in the new upper tier as an overflow.

You could make the new upper tier unavailable for season ticket holders and only use it as an overflow when there is a game with more demand.

Football is a long term business. It might be a 14 year payback, but so what? Higher income in those 14 years will help will FFP and allow Saints to spend more money elsewhere. Stadium improvements are exempt from the FFP regulations. 1) Will Southampton FC still exist in 14, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 years time? 2) Will Southampton still likely be at St Mary's in 14, 20, 30, 40 years time? 3) Does having a higher gate income help in an age of FFP? 4) Would having a larger stadium and averages help grow the fan-base as more people can watch the big games they want to see? 5) Would the club likely see a rise in other revenue on top of ticket sales?

I'll refer you to the same thing...
