Convict Colony

True to form as always. By AM I meant 1 of the shuttlers goes forward more to join up with the attack and the other holds with behind Romeu in DM.

Random name from a few seasons ago and available on a free in the summer or a small fee now from AC Milan and international team mate of Yoshida and would help short term in AM role. Keisuke Honda Lets get this rumour started.

I was researching Ntep today, he looks decent

Bayern are too greedy

Found this link and thought it gives some good perspective on the wages in the french league on some of the guys we have been mentioned as being interested in. http://www.lequipe.fr/special/Football/guide/v2/salaires-ligue1-2016/ Below are my rough pound conversations. Ben Arfa along with Kyrchowiak are the lowest paid in the PSG team on 85K a week Plea is on 8.5K a week !!! Cyprien is on 6.5K a week!! Some random ones: Balotelli 90K a week Lacazette is on 75K a week Fekir is on 70K a week Couldn't find his salary but I have seen via whoscored etc Thomas Lemar 21 AM for Monaco looks like he is having a great season https://www.whoscored.com/Players/132962

these guys think it is rubbish http://www.mercato365.com/mercato-mercatox-wylan-cyprien-viseur-de-southampton-2858344.html

Southampton have been linked with a move for out-of-favour Sevilla defender Timothee Kolodziejczak by the Spanish press. https://www.clubcall.com/southampton/saints-would-take-sevilla-man---report-1834976.html

What do we reckon Ben Arfa coming on loan with an option to buy in the summer now PSG have Draxler coming ?

Sell JWP and I'm in with Morgan coming back.

Hate to break it to you but he has been getting his fitness in the Under 23 for the last month or so, played 90mins against chelsea and another 86 against newcastle. A month ago "we" couldnt count on Jay but now he is our main hope for goals. Thankfully the club have more patience with players.

I can live with everything stated in that article. If Jose left in Jan for 10mil etc I feel we would be ok with Yoshi, Gardos and Stephens as cover (and give these guys a few more games to assess their long term prospects) for the rest of the season. Virgil will go in the summer to a super club who plays in the champions league every year and will set a new record for a defender, my preference would be Real Madrid just cos we would have another Saints connection. We could then reinvest 70m back into the team including salaries before any other money comes into consideration. Would expect 1 killer CB from another league (shout out to the Portuguese defender whose name I've forgotten), 1 AM to inject goals into the team and 1 striker, all under 25yrs old with great form and excellent technique from lesser european leagues as I think dealing with the physicallity of the PL can be learned over a few months and managed with rotation.

Read somewhere the other day and forgot to post that we were interested in Molla Wague a 25yr old CB from Undinese, born in France plays for Mali. Maybe cover for the squad ? https://www.whoscored.com/Players/105339/Show/Molla-Wagu

I am happy with Virgil being with us for a short period as I just appreciate how awesome he is but I will be upset if he does not go to a Real Madrid, Barcelona, Munich or at a push new rich clubs like PSG and City. He is too good for us and is the best defender in the premier league bar NONE. If we get 50M for him that is a ROI I would take every day of the week :-)

No drama His goals would be very welcome, I think he is more a davo replacement though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd sign him just off that article Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He is a Central Attacking Midfielder !!!

I've not even drunk anything... this is another one

Never fails to make me laugh

Claude went full mexican coach when JayRod scored his 2nd

I predicted a Jayrod hatrick in th ebuild up so am claiming this win was down to me

If hojberg and redmond were still on the pitch and I got subbed I'd be annoyed as well

I would just like to know from Puel how he see's how we should be playing and where the goal opportunities will come from in that system, interesting possibilities just doesn't give me much to go on.

Jayrod hatrick
