Saint Charlie

Will do, thanks!

Did he say if any injury concerns apart from Gardos?

Suarez was suspended when we won at Anfield last season so that doesn't come into it for this game, which was the question posed. They played centre backs at full back last time too, and Moses instead of Sterling, whilst the hapless Aspas also started. No question they will overall be stronger than they were at Anfield last season when we played them, whilst we are weaker.

I can see either Skrtel or Lovren scoring from a corner.

Kelvin beaten at his near post. Suprising that.

Wouldn't suprise me if Boruc isn't on the bench and Kelvin is.

Their team will be stronger, ours weaker - judging by those lists.

Small bit in De Telegraaf: Koeman focuses on Vlaar From our Telesport Editors SOUTHAMPTON - The Southampton the Koeman brothers is working on Oranje defender Ron Vlaar. The North Hollander is seen as the much needed strengthening of defense after the departure of Dejan Lovre. Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert already incorporates a departure from Vlaar. "I do not know if loyalty in football still exists." Hard to know if its still on the table now we got Gardos, or just a ploy from Vlaar's camp to boost his pay or find other options.

If we let Boruc go then we 100% need another keeper. We won't win a game with either KD or Gazza in goal. Both have proven themselves as not being up to it over the last 2 seasons.

This was possibly his best game for WBA.

He will have the pick of some bigger and better clubs than us!

Yeah Steaua trained there in pre season. It's where he picked up his injury I think.

Main reason being zero pre season minutes and woeful attitude.

Finished most likely according to the Echo, although you never know. Would be a wide player if we do anything else. Personally another CB would be good but depends also how they view Jack Stephens. Will be interesting to see if he gets loaned out or not.

Long is a striker, not a winger. Be surprised if he would be happy playing out wide.

Seems the type of character that will handle it, just a number.

So Ramirez and Tadic might now have someone to pass to!

Certainly does. Sounds like he expects to be eased in gradually from that.

Echo Journalist reckons we are probably done. Possibly a winger but more likely than not we are done.

Echo guy thinks we might go with what we have now. Ideally a wide man and super ideally a second CB signing would make the squad look miles better. But if that is it, then at least we have done it all by the first game. Quite an achievement given what has left the club.

Looks promising, hope we don't throw him to the Wolves versus Liverpool though. Decent price too for a player with a good level of experience in European/Intl football yet still young enough to improve.

Definitely a coup. Apparently beaten off competition from a host of top European clubs to land him. Have tracked him for a number of years. Proper coup.

Has to be done by midday tomorrow to be able to be in the squad for Sunday.

Hope he doesn't get 7 because loads of wally Saints fans will give him stick about it and heap even more pressure on him than his price tag has. He has never scored 10 PL goals in a season before, if he does this year then he has done his job.

Doesn't matter how much he cost, he is a Saints player now so let him get on with it. Fee not in any way determined by him, he just needs to go and play his normal game.
