Clasie definitely not, Bertrand very unlikely. No evidence that either are back in training with the squad.
-
There are still some places where the window is still open, Russia for one and Romania. Not sure about Argentina this year, last year we were able to ship Osvaldo out there, but that was possibly because they were in a transition season. I don't think we will ship him out, it was clear to me that as a member of the first team squad there was no plan for him to leave, but technically there are still some options.

You forgot OR as well. Really don't think you can count the new GK, HL, he is for the long term future and is only 17. DO and EM were on loan last season as well, so hardly count. Surprises me that anyone really is shocked by the appalling coverage of us by Sky, or any other media. Only interested in Top 5/6 + WH, and no-one in the media these days actually does any research, even the Beeb which used to be at least accurate if not ground-breaking is now shockingly poor in their reporting. -
It is nuts. We even had 11 back on Sunday for corners when Naarwich were down to 10 men. I understand the theoretical reason for having everyone back, but it is really not very bright and there is no real evidence that it is worthwhile. You should always have an "out", it not only gives an option and prevents the ball being recycled back in after we hoof it away from the corner but also occupies another opposition player, nearly all teams only push max 8 players up for a corner, usually like us with one centrally just outside the pen and two back at the halfway line. It is one defensive tactic by Ron that really doesn't make sense in my opinion and that of many other people.
-
Maybe you will be disappointed, Ronald said no one from the first team squad will be sold, Gaston, unlike Mayuka, is officially part of the first team squad.

Largely based on being Golden Boot winner of 2012 AFCON, that and having a reasonably good strike rate for Young Boys. It wasn't completely out of left court. The Black Box was still at the Beta testing stage at the time. Some of the algorithms were updated before the final production version was released.
-
No one in the first team squad. Mayuka was not given a squad number.
-
Disappointed we couldn't flog him to Brendan.

and some...

17 year old, I guess not for the first team squad :-) Has represented England at u16 and been in the u18 squad. Very much one for the long term future.

Fry grew up in the village of Booton, about 10 miles from Norwich. He is a director of Norwich. -

No it isn't, and it wouldn't anyway.

Though he seems not to be backup any longer. Kelvin seems to be #2 again.

We can still get an international loan, just not a domestic one. -

Can't we just wait and listen to the pearls of wisdom from 'Arry. Surely he will have something to say even though he is not technically involved any longer.

CONFIRMED - Virgil Van Dijk joins on Five Year Deal
VectisSaint replied to Brizzie Saints's topic in The Saints
Has nothing been heard of him since this was reported in 2008? -
Good positions but very rusty with his shooting boots. A way to go yet, but looking good.

Is anyone still defending James Ward-Prowse?
VectisSaint replied to ScepticalStan's topic in The Saints
You are mistaken. 5 years ago Wotton went to Yeovil on loan. But fair play, JWP was excellent today, nobody can say otherwise. Needs to do it more often, but credit where its due. -
Geography not your strong suit. Derby is about the same size as Southampton (population), Norwich not that far behind (about same as Skatesville).

That was last week (unless it happened again), video last week is on Twitter I believe. Just seen Sotonist has basically said the same already)
