Perhaps in a Joelinton type reassignment we could move Downs to replace Bazunu / McCarthy in goal?

I’d persevere with Quarshie. He’s certainly raw and will no doubt make mistakes but no more than THB and Stephens.

Quarshie at CB plus Jelert and Roerslev.

Less than two weeks with no (official) games between now and then. Asking a lot for them to gel at that point. Will need more time before a meaningful assessment can be made, as you say.

Blackmore is saying 1 in and 4/5 out

Seems to be Leo. ‘4 or 5 out’

That’s Jander. Or is there another pic? Anyway, sounds like a done deal. I’d be surprised if Blackmore would have tweeted what he did if he wasn’t 100% sure.

In the last hour or so, Blackmore has been as clear as you can be that Fellows is happening.

West Ham eye Forest's Sangare as additional midfield signing Latest from Sky Sports News' Lyall Thomas and Christopher Reidy: West Ham are looking to sign more than one new midfielder and are believed to have approached Nottingham Forest about Ibrahim Sangare. The idea is an initial loan that could become an obligation to buy if certain thresholds are met. They have also agreed on a fee for Monaco’s Soungoutou Magassa, but there is still work to do on the deal. There are also still other clubs that want to sign the player and may yet agree something with Monaco. West Ham also have interest other defensive midfielders including Strasbourg’s Junior Mwanga and Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney. At the same time, the Hammers are also exploring a deal to sign a more attacking midfielder in Werder Bremen's Romano Schmid before Deadline Day. West Ham have had a bad start, shipping eight goals in two defeats to Sunderland and Chelsea. No mention of MF in this latest 'midfield' update on SS.

Hinchcliffe is at it again. What a c-womble

Who is the Co-commentator? Completely positive about everything Ipswich do and negative towards everything Southampton to, in particular with challenges. Assuming he’s an ex-player.

That's an all and nothing article. Breaking news...player wants to play in the Premier League rather than The Championship. Who'd have thunk that?!

It’s the Southampton Way

SSN Reporter at Goodson for the Grealish announcement is not ruling out further discussions with Southampton for Dibling.

Good to hear. He was the far side so sounds like I was harsh on him. He’s certainly involved this half.

Sitting here at the game. Midfield is non-existent. Sugawara did he touch the ball? Nothing up front. Against the grain, I’d say the defenders aren’t horrendous although Edwards is Mr Panic. Quarshie looks potential. Robinson reminds me of Anderson. Needs support.

Centre midfield completely anonymous

You forgot Bazunu

He doesn't sound convinced...

Isn’t he more of a box-to-box CM rather than a Dibling-type player?

Who’s behind SaintsExtra?

Please concentrate on pre-season Jack. I'm worried about how much screen time you are spending.

If only he'd done that a bit more last season.

We could do with having 10 players on the pitch for the full 90+ mins

It's the political model of burying bad news on a good news story day.
