Edwards came with a much bigger reputation than Wood. I’m surprised 18 months later that he didn’t make it and Wood plays every week. I have to agree he’s not looked great when he’s played. Was robbed a goal at Ewood Park to make it 2-0, he was definitely onside. Wonder if that goes in and we win that game, would Edwards and Still have found a different path? Probably more suited to Russball than what Spors wants us to be and not tall or fast enough to give confidence he’ll make it at the top level. I think I’d have loaned for the rest of this season and made a decision in the summer though.

Also linked to this guy.

Maybe we think announcing tonight with the Chivers and Keegan news would be a bit insensitive? I reckon he will be announced tomorrow.

Looks like he’s in talks and is the preferred candidate. No smoke without fire so very likely he goes. Would be a promotion for him as he’d be their Spors. Big shame as his work with the academy has been impressive.

That list looks even worse with time. Tell me you didn’t have a Director of Football, without telling me you didn’t have a Director of Football.

You could be right. Made a big song and dance about wanting to be on the south coast to be close to family etc when joining but it has been a few years and might be looking for one last payday or an experience down under etc. I'm actually surprised at how ineffective he has been this season, shows what difference a year makes, he was decent for us in the championship last time. Signed him at the right time back then but as you say, should have thanked him for his contribution and signed better for the PL season.

Not sure where these rumours are supposedly coming from but looks like a fan account of Western Sydney Warriors. Bit of a random one!

I agree, we have needed to improve the striker position for many seasons. But will Spors etc think the same?

His record in Germany isn’t bad, a gamble signing that massively flopped but we have reached the point where I’m questioning is it all the player or is the basket case that is Southampton FC playing a bigger part in these failures. Guess we will find out in the second half of this season how he does in the Bundesliga, assuming he plays. The Wrexham and Northampton sitters were red flags, outside of the Espanyol friendly he didn’t look competent. He did a Utilita special on YouTube recently with Bragg and Matsuki and only looked good at pens.

I remember Noa Kirel from Eurovision a few years ago. Apparently they are the Israel equivalent to ‘Posh and Becks’.

Armstrong, Archer and Stewart back involved. Do we sign a striker on loan this window or not?

I’m sure it’s no coincidence that we’ve loaned Hamburg a player to release Peretz. Just be a competent keeper, please.

Looks like the option to buy is €10m.
