i do believe from what i have been told we have a new RB coming in on loan with an option to buy

we are poor, very disappointing start

good news Fernandez playing, shows he is not even remotely close to going anywhere!

watch this space, i believe a new RB is incoming on loan with an option to buy!

Did the young Cameroon player Moursou feature tonight, i hear he's off to play in America!

So a snippet i've heard is we are getting another RB in (on loan). Don't ask who because i don't know. Judge me if this turns out to be correct. Another keeper coming in as competition. Although i would say we could all have guessed we would be getting in another keeper so i'm taking no credit for that snippet. All that was said is the keeper is not an automatic first choice but will provide real competition.

I could not disagree with you more. You do not know Tyler and what sort of person he is. He has not at any point point stamped his feet or had a hissy fit unlike Van Dyke. He is a very chilled laid back lad that loves the club and appreciates everything the club has done for him. He will knuckle down and give his all if he ends up still being here for the season.

Before people start slagging of Tyler and stating things they know nothing about the player i would just like to say from what i know of the lad he is a very quiet lad and not prone to being the type to "kick off", "down tools" or "sulk" his way through a season in the Championship. He has always been very respectful of Southampton and understands Southampton have put a price on him and they will let him leave if that is achieved.

My pet monkey is advising all Saints web forum members to kick up a fuss and try to force the sectioning of the attention seeking whore Lorenzo Jabota

we do not have to sell players to balance the books, i don't know why so many keep banging on about this. We are in a far better place to stand firm over our valuations and if the likes of Everton don't like it then quite frankly they can fuck off.

someone get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning did they?

I totally agree with this statement. What exactly was our track record against lower league sides in the Cup competitions last season!!! We are losing our best players and still have so much dross to shift with little quality left behind. I honestly think we could be off to a very bad start to the season.

Great win by our lads, lovely goal with quick moving and instant passing. Certainly didnt look like any move out of our first team squad play book!!

We must absolutely NOT sell Dibling for anything under £35 million and if at all possible not sell him at all. I honestly believe from what i know about Tyler (and my information has always come from someone very close to the Dibling family) that he and his family are very happy for him to stay at Saints. All he wanted was some reassurances about the clubs future and plans and to believe we would be challenging for automatic promotion. Going to Everton makes no sense at all in my opinion. Too many on here believe everything is driven by money, it's not in Tylers case. I really hope we have convinced him to stay and that he will be a pivotal player for us. He is a rare talent and Will Still could be the perfect manager to nurture that and Saints the perfect club and home for Dibling to keep growing.

I personally don't think there is a cat in hells chance we land this Armenian player. Sounds like agent bullshit to get the bigger clubs that have shown interest to jump. I will be absolutely amazed if he ends up here, he has had interest from a host of clubs playing at a higher level than we now find ourselves.

Brilliant win by the Lionesses, that never say die spirit that has been there since game 2 of the tournament has seen them incredibly retain their crown when multiple times they looked dead and buried. As we all know in football the best footballing team do not always win. Spain were the better footballing side but a mixture of poor finishing and excellent defending by England made sure we were still there to take it to penalties. I must admit my heart sunk when the first one had to be retaken and the retake was saved but what was i worrying about. Up stepped the brilliant Hampton to make those saves and then the star girl Chloe Kelly stepped forward to blast the last spot kick home and send millions around the country into delirium. WOW what a womens team we have, couldn't be prouder of them.

Well we didn't deserve a draw, Castellon were by far the better side. They totally bossed the game, squeezed our play and made our players rush their passes often straight to a Castellon player. Really difficult to judge many Saints players on that performance but Baz was easily our best player which in itself is very worrying. We could not hold onto the ball, we offered nothing as an attacking unit and our strikers had nothing but scraps to feed off. I was hoping to start to see the impact of our new manager but all i saw was the same shit from the same players as last season.

This Castellon side have beaten Real Zaragoza, Valencia and QPR 6-0 in the last couple of weeks, they are no mugs and definately the sort of workout i'm sure Saints would have wanted. Without Baz we would already be looking like another scalp for Castellon.

top drawer save from Baz who is having a very decent game so far

haha, no, I live in Ocean Village, 10 minute walk from St Mary's

now now Turkish play nicely 😆

Its fantastic that we have sold out all the tickets for the first home game of the season, incredible when you think about what performances we put up with last season. I just hope we really have a team to be excited about come kick off . At present it does feel very underwhelming and i can only hope we have targets lined up that will only be released once bigger teams have their replacements in. I must admit being linked to players no one has ever heard off is doing nothing for my confidence.

I must admit any confidence i had for the season coming is actually fast evaporating. Badly bloated squad full of mediocre players bar 4 players. The goalkeeper position is a real concern unless by some miracle we hold onto Ramsdale. I know some will say we got promoted with Baz and McCarthy last time but that was pure luck, we really almost shot ourselves in the foot. The defence is terrible and god knows what our owners were smoking when they gave Captain Jack a new contract. If we lose Fernandez and Tyler then we really are in trouble. Up top i'm not convinced AA really wants to still be here, BBD is a one trick pony that should have been put down. The Lockness Drogba is just a massive gamble whatever way you look at it. The new fella may be decent but i've never heard of him and it smacks of us trying to be cheap and clever (Hope he turns out to be the new RL)

well i know it was just a training game but my god that was awful to watch
