CB is the obvious weakness in our squad. Despite Ralph's best efforts last season, we continued to set a record for points lost from winning positions. Working with what we have got is not going to be good enough. I trust Ralph to be able to identify a player that will perform substantially better than our recent signings in this area. I do miss the days when seemed to have mastered signing CBs: Fonte, Lovern, Toby, VVD. How lucky we were!

Big Sam has rejected the Newcastle job. Seb Haller feels like one that got away... Did we sign Carillo instead? Haller is worth 40m EUR and Carillo is worth nothing!

Arnautovic gone, £22.5m He’s worth so much more than that, but has left them no choice. Do West Ham have any strikers left? He’s exactly what’s wrong with modern football... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes he did struggle to get in that Wolves team last season, but he’s always looked dangerous when I’ve seen him play. Big player in their promotion season. I wouldn’t have been disappointed had we signed him for the Djenepo role. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Helder Costa has gone to Leeds form Wolves on a 1 year loan with an obligation to buy for £15m next summer. 4 year contract thereafter. That’s a fantastic signing for Leeds. 25 years old, full Portugal international. Wonder why no premier league teams were interested? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a Jay Rod style signing, promising young player tearing it up in the league below. Bit of pace and power that we have sorely missed up top for a while also. For me this one feels relatively low risk. My best mate is a Watford fan and I’ve seen a fair few of their games live. Andre Gray may have similar pace/power but he can’t control a football. Admittedly we need to wait and see if he can make the step up, but I think he will prove to be far better acquisition than Andre Gray. Really looking forward to seeing our pace on the break with Redderz, Djenepo and Adams. Should be exciting to watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every Brum goal. Think he will do well in Ralph’s style, excited by this one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah mate, that’s correct Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The email I received states the Saints+ membership provides first priority for Away tickets also. Although no mention of that in the comparison table on the OS... I do far more away games than home games so the Saints+ membership would be useful to better guarantee away tickets Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chelsea want Cedric for £15m, according to the Daily Mail, can't see us letting him go this summer

We really should be winning at home to Swansea, especially with Sigurdsson and Llorente absent. I'm going for 2-1 Saints, would be nice to win on the opening day for a change! If we do sign Lemina and bring in a CB of decent quality/keep VVD, I think 8th is a realistic target.

Armstrong only on the bench for Celtic today

Ticket office told me it would take 'around 24 hours' which was right in my instance

You have to confirm your basket and go through to the payment screen. You can then click 'use membership credit'. Unfortunately, if you're trying to buy multiple membership tickets at once, you can't apply the discount. For the meantime, you have to order tickets individually to use the credits for each. Interestingly, you can use the full £10 all at once, not just £5 at a time. Hope this helps.

Romeu for me. I think he's been the most consistent and much improved this season. Love how much time he makes on the ball and he's bossed midfield for us.

Is Bertrand ok? Looks like his foot is wrapped up in this twitter post from Maya. Zoom required, not sure it's that conclusive...

That's exactly my situation. I've attended 9 games this season, only 2 being home games. IMO unjust that someone who has attended 2/3 home games Gets precedence. Fingers crossed I get one Thursday!

Thanks!

Hoping someone on here can help me. I've contacted the club but haven't heard back yet... My mate doesn't have the membership but did purchase a ticket in the 14/15 season. Am I right in thinking if he buys a membership card now he will meet the criteria for tomorrow's membership sale? Or did he need to have the membership then? Hoping it's just the customer number and current membership that counts? Thanks for your help

Pellegrini would be a massive coup. Would never have thought we could get a manager of his calibre. Hope this is true and not another Rudi Garcia moment...

Wanyama a big reason for poor build up play. He loses the ball so often this season and those 50/50 moments where he beasts players off the ball don't seem to win us possession anymore. Any point point keeping him beyond? His performances showcase his desire to leave for me.

@SkySportsAmy: We also understand Virgil Van Dijk had his medical last night & Saints expected to make announcement today. They've been after him for a yr

@alex_crook: Sources in Scotland confirm Virgil van Dijk has flown in to complete his protracted #saintsfc move. This 1 has been a year in the making.
