https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/southampton-fc/transfers/verein/180 Add Fernandes, BBD, Smallbone, Edozie and Aribo to the list. it includes loans, loans that went back like that danish fella who never played, players who left out of contract.

including loans when Fernandes is confirmed and if we can get shot of Edozie, Aribo and Smallbone that's 21 players gone in one window, never seen anything like that before. A great job getting rid of that lot, it does feel like a clean sweep. Get the 4 new boys over the line and that a much more streamlined squad which is very strong for this league.

all panic buys

Most clubs are like that now. Apparently the reason Isaak has kicked off is because Newcastle promised to sell him if they got an offer from a top club after a set amount of time. Seems like everyone is stepping stone club these days

Agree, i dont know much about either of them until today but both of them seem to be really highly rated in Germany with both tipped for moves to big clubs, so pretty amazing if they both come to us, as i say, it doesn't appear to be a natural upward move for either.

watching the videos of Fellows and Scienza they both seem to thrive on putting crosses into the box for a big striker, although Scienza also seems good at cutting inside and shooting, you'd think that would mean one of Downs or Stewart are going to be the preferred striker.

It sounds like the two fellas from Germany are both tipped to play at a much higher level, ones already playing Bundesliga so wonder what the deal is to come to the championship? A move to us wouldn't appear a natural step up for both of these players who appear to be very, very good

im sure he'll explain it in a minute

it all feels a bit to good to be true. Im sure i'll wake up soon

it will surely only be one of them and that sounds like its going to be Leo

would you?!

isnt he the guy that fell on his arse wearing a santa constume during a half time pitch relay? The tweeter that is, not Fernandes

i agree, feel sorry for him. He's "one of our own" but for some reason fans seem to be really against him. Always seemed a decent guy and gave his best, is a decent championship player, not premier league level but then neither was anyone else. Weird why he seems to attract so much disrespect.

I like the sound of this guy, everything seems to be very positive about him. Seems like most people expected him to end up in the Bundesliga so if Spors has pulled this off and he's anything like he seems then he gets a massive pat on the back.

Up there with our 3rd biggest transfer fee ever to a French league 2 club. Owned by us.

Agree, i was thinking that, a good video to show to a younger winger, doesnt even beat the man, just gets a yard of space and crosses.

THERE IT IS!!!!!!

that cant be true

So Fellows, Azaz, Jander, combinded fees of around 32m. That's most of the Dibling money spent and pretty well spent too. Still go, probably Edozie, BBD, Smallbone definitely Fernandes, another 55-60m in the bank. If we can get rid of those first 3 plus the ones already gone then we've done a very good job of clearing the squad out and bringing in some proven championship quality. Wonder if there will be any other incomings.....👀

all the noise seems to be 10m which, if true, is a great deal for a top quality championship player.

a quick google search shows that WBA were wanting about 20m for Fellows, Leeds and Everton were interested. You'd think if we're negotiating with WBA then we've been told he wants to come here

Spors joined us in Feb 2025 when our kit manufacturers were Puma. Therefore he would never have worn Hummel made Saints apparel. Another fail.

Provided we've got strikers who can convert them

Again, no one has heard of him but someone put a scouting type report on the transfer thread and if accurate he looks very good. tipped to make the German squad within 2 years. Not a sexy signing but appears to be another good one

what do you mean by a top winger? Everyones turning their noses up at one who scored 6 goals in 25 games in the Germany last season. Are people expecting better?
