Ferrari? More like Jeremy Clarkson's Fiat Panda stretched limo!

They are pre planned subs, not injuries. It is the first friendly of the summer on a hot day, so players won't get many minutes. https://x.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1814364968076136862

Adam Armstrong spent the vast majority of last season out wide, he only occasionally played as the central striker. The central striker role in 2024/25 will probably be a 'Che Adams replacement', Ross Stewart, Sekou Mara or Adam Armstrong (occasionally).

Staff and players leaving for higher paid jobs and/or promotions at some of the biggest clubs in the world does not mean there is something wrong at Saints. We simply can not compete when clubs like Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs etc make job offers for our staff. In the same way we do exactly the same to other clubs that we've got staff from who are less wealthy than Saints. It is better to have player and staff that higher profile and richer clubs want, rather than to plod along with staff and players richer clubs do not want.

We've apparently paid £100k p/w before for a player. So wouldn't need much subsidising from Arsenal to reach £120k p/w for Ramsdale. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15963411/james-ward-prowse-southampton-top-earner/#:~:text=WARD-PRICE-,James Ward-Prowse becomes Southampton's top earner with historic £,still leave for right price&text=JAMES WARD-PROWSE has reportedly,on £100%2C000 a-week.

I very much doubt that'll happen. Shea Charles is the backup to Downes.

Spent circa £140m in our last Premier League season

Their contracts expired on 30th June. They are no longer employed by Southampton, so they don't need to turn up to Staplewood.

No he hasn't, he was at the Euros and will now be on holiday like other Scottish international players.

Enjoy ☺

Do we have any reliable links to prove Tyler Edmondson and Ethan Hartness leaving? I'm also trying to work out if Isaac Bailey, Alfie Prescott and Regie Evans are still at Saints? Or if any other youngsters have left as the club haven't released information on youth player departures this year like they normally do.

In quite a few of the Lamine Camara YouTube videos it is not him in some of the clips of the national team. Whoever has edited the video has mixed him up with another player with a very similar name... Mamadou Lamine Camara.

Walker-Peters is better than both of them in FM23 (and is miles ahead of Bree), although Livramento has a higher PA than KWP.

Walker-Peters

He'd comfortably be our best player on FM25 if he signed.

I included corporate seats & boxes in my post

Echo journalist Alfie House says in the Tweet I posted earlier... "Saints have confirmed membership information for the 2024/25 season with earlier ticket access as sales expected to be limited. Season tickets sold out at St Mary’s with I believe around 5% tickets held back for match-by-match sales." 5% = only a mere 1,626 seats left for match day tickets If that is true, season ticket numbers may be circa 26k/27k with the rest for corporate seats, the stadium boxes and the 3k away fans. https://x.com/AlfieHouseEcho/status/1809142722235601385?t=dCTc1uQ-vYRnQ_TqcEgP4A&s=19

Won't be easy to get a ticket next season for many. Only 5% of capacity (1,626 seats) available to non season ticket holders. Season tickets sold out... https://x.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1809135612089250093?t=oIGUyreQO9oW6wrwCQfY7g&s=19 https://x.com/AlfieHouseEcho/status/1809142722235601385?t=dCTc1uQ-vYRnQ_TqcEgP4A&s=19

You were the one that made the claim about it! Strange to dismiss mainstream entertainment especially as it has overtaken other media such as film and media for revenue. In 2024 playing games is a mainstream pastime. 10 million+ people played FM24

Selling shit players on high wages on FM isn't easy either

Said the man in the orthopedic shoe

1) He is not particularly tall or big for his age. This is about money, not pathway. Saints sticking to a wage structure. 2) The pathway into Brighton's 1st team is tougher than ours as they have better players.

Irrelevant to the point that an infrastructure investment ultimately allows you to spend more on transfers and wages under incoming financial rules.
