Give it to Ron

I really like Sam think he has a lot to offer but he lacks that final 10%. I do feel sorry for him as every time he got going last season he was dropped. At Cardiff he had the beating of the full back but no end product and couldn’t hit target when free from 8 yards. i hope the loan works and he gets game time they will have to be patient with him but glad no option to buy.

Do you believe he has the tools to play this way in the Prem or like a few of us want to tweak it a bit? He came in and gelled it after Mad Nate and did what was asked get promoted so he deserves and I hope gets the chance to stay here for a while but something needs to change. We have bought in some good players who I think after a run of games will do well Les, Fernandes, Cornet - if I have one criticism is he is too loyal and that’s being harsh but needs to look at starting side and tactics after this break. Do our back 5 have enough ability to play this way in prem?

….. and as for that bollox of strikers 60yards apart sheer madness!

You could see in Mane first few appearances there was something there. I was at Arsenal away and he looked good in that game. Sulemana has been given multiple chances and playing in the Dutch league doesnt mean he can hack it in the Prem or will when he returns. A loan is good for all as he won’t get picked.

🚨 The deal sheet for Maxwel Cornet to join Southampton on a season-long loan from West Ham went in in time & he should be officially announced soon #saintsfc @AdamBlackmore

Rory McLeod from Dundee

Ings isn’t coming though

He isn’t though so all good , our best midfield although early days looks to be Flyn , Les and Fernandes

Birmingham after Stansfield for 9-10m think he will be great there . He scored great goal against us and looked good but too similar to Archer for that money?

But behind Flyn and Big Les and without Aribo or Smallbone off the wages we couldn’t afford to buy him.

Neto having medical this morning

🍒 Neto medical at Arsenal this morning. Although has moved at speed in the public domain, behind scenes part of master plan with Kepa signing, as per below about carrying two GKs on big money #afcb #afc Kris Temple

Odd I thought it was a paperwork issue now seems it’s an injury why off. New: Armando Broja’s loan move to Ipswich is off. Chance something else develops pre DDay, but likelihood will recover and rehab from foot injury and then revisit options in January.

Not in ground there wasn’t from Saints end I was in

Stewart 2 weeks away? There may be good reasons for that one though

I know it was only Cardiff B but I loved watching Big Les play he is a Rolls Royce of a player. Get him match fit and alongside Flyn and will be a joy to watch and help us this year.

Watched different full backs to me then.

You don’t think Bree and Taylor played well? I think going by Blackmore our wide man will be Fraser.

On coach going home after weird game and different to some on here. Bree and Taylor were very good defensively. Edwards composed and did well in his position not so in midfield poor move. Wood poor on ball and liability. Big Les will be some player as will Fernandez alongside Flyn. Archer was sharp and SAA looked positive and good goal . Edozie should really have done better on 3 occasions not sure where he is going at moment. ABK , Lallana good subs controlled well. Dibling at times tried too hard but he is some talent. Surprised Cardiff took off Colwill who was excellent for them. good win and enjoyable drive home on coach now

Why would he leave that beautiful city for Shirley Mutant Mile or rat infested Ocean Village ? The bugger I saw at Lazio game could have put a saddle on it

Not an upgrade on McCarthy who couldn’t get a game last season ahead of Bazanu until injured?

Vickery is well versed on SAmerican football and IMO knows his stuff on players and markets.

Shane Long at Watford?
