We should be 3-0 up and out of sight. Do we get pleasure in keeping the game open for the opposition to score? Unless we get the second soon, we run the risk of conceding and losing confidence.

And this guy plays both sides. When he plays, that is. Hasn't been played by his club this season so far, hence contract terminated. As a free agent, we could bring him in right now. But with talk of Ben Johnson as well, who stays, who goes. Wouldn't want KWP to go. We would have to give this some game time as well. Southampton Keen To Secure Signing Of £650K-Rated Star - The Real EFL According to TeamTalk, the club on the south coast are set to battle it out with promotion rivals Middlesbrough as well as Stoke City and Preston North End for free agent Matthew Sorinola over the coming weeks, who is currently valued at £650k, as per Transfermarkt. The former MK Dons youngster most recently spent last season with Martin at Swansea on loan from Belgian title contenders Union Saint-Gilloise but was made redundant upon returning as his contract was not renewed.

Miovski and Amad Diallo please. The latter, we have already received an answer in the affirmative. The former, Aberdeen won't want to let him go.

I believe we have agreement in principle with Man U to bring Amad Diallo in on loan. 14 goals for Sunderland last season when on loan there?

I would have HB as first choice, Stephens and Bedders alternating. But conscious Stephens is our captain, so he may get the nod. Whichever way, just hope those 3 get regular games. As a result, we can probably let the Everton loanee return in January.

Likewise. Bizarre that even when Maddison is out and Bellingham a doubt, he doesn't turn the best English playmaker around. He has proven his versatility with him West Ham performances. This is clearly incompetence from Southgate, or he has an issue with JWP.

He even looks a little like Lavia, so for that reason, its a yes from me. Southampton FC plotting another Man City transfer raid (footballleagueworld.co.uk)

Be even better when we have a regular goal scorer ... oh wait, its Ryan Fraser.

I was hoping to we could give a role to Marian Pahars.

Bazunu KWP Bednarek THB Manning Charles Downes S Armstrong/Amo Alcaraz,/S Armstrong Edozie Adams S.Armstrong plays as he is my Captain. If Alcarez is "trusted" and plays, then Alcy as the 10, Stuart on the right. But if no Alcy, play Stuart as the #10 and Amo on the right, Edozie can take the corners, minimum 4 back even for our own corners.

I'd probably hang fire until we get Stephens back and Ross Stewart integrated. If results are no better then, then they never willbe. Constantly blaming the events of last season making the players lack courage - that irks me. We are not asking them to walk on firey coals, but be able to play decent football. It's the manager and coaches responsibility to get them playing to their potential, and they are failing to do that. Once the best team is available, the judgement starts.

Press Conference: His hair looks nicer, softer "Kamaldeen appeal successful" "We're trying to build here, we need foundations" "We are consistent, but social media is crazy" "trust the process, it will get better, the Swansea lads will confirm that" "i'm relaxed, we will win more games than we won't" "we have to go through pain to get to where we want to get to" "Gav's brilliant, we made a montage of his saves and distribution" "I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I'm happy with the work we have done this week"

Get them both in. We could do with a couple of Noah's as we are facing a FLOOD of goals. (Biblical joke. I'll get my coat, yeah

This. Everyone's teams have around 6 attacking players. We have to defend first and foremost. 4 or 5 at the back, 2 DM, but I acknowledge we don't have the players in the squad to do that. Is there anyone in the free agent market we could bring in? Yes, a Romeu or Lavia type, someone who will get their foot in and get the ball off the opposition.

Staying and in the squad tomorrow night (from press conference)

Posted yesterday at 11:34 (edited) My team... Scheichel* KwP, THB, Bednarek, Manning Charles, Downes A.Armstrong, Alcaraz, Fraser Adams * free agent, so get him in - would be especially motivated to play Leiecester

Up top, hopefully Roberts and Stewart. Makes sense to buy both from Sunderland. At the back, looks like unless we drop or remove the £8m loan fee for ABK, he won't be leaving us. In that case, probably no more incomings. But hopefully, that can be resolved and Wood in?

Che doesn't seem to be anyone's first choice, only their fallback option. But if he goes, which striker will we replace him with? Ross Stewart, Patrick Roberts (both Sunderland), Duk and the Macedonian (both Aberdeen). 4 strikers linked, and we can't buy them all.

Exciting. Leeds press saying "Southampton have elbowed us out of the way to get THB." yeah baby I was still hoping we would also get Nathan Wood as well. I don't like the idea of asking DM (Downes, Charles) to fill in. We need them in their proper places.

Flying up tomorrow (Friday) - per Russell at the press conference. Then Russ can be available for any last minute calls on transfers. Although Jason will obviously lead it, Russ needs to be contactable. He said it's not ideal, but its ok.

Are we not going to bid for Matt Grimes? The captain of Russ' style of play. Scored and assisted last night. Come on, Saints, make it happen.

and right on cue ....

That did cross my mind. You've had your eye on that pretty girl across the room, she turns you down as someone better is out there. Then at 11:55 she thinks "ah sod it, at least he's keen". If no-ons else comes in for Ings and we need someone, I can see a last minute loan deal for him going through.

I tend to agree. If we want Piroe, let's get him in. Russell said he expected Che deal to be agreed at some point, so let's NOT wait until that deal is finalised before offering for Piroe. We could miss out on him. We compromised (I think) on the price for JWP. Let's be flexible. Take the £12M for Che, and spend it on Piroe sooner rather than later.
