SuperSAINT

A very good read. Thanks for taking the time on it.

Something would have gone very, very wrong if we start the season with Elyounoussi / Lemina / Hoedt involved in the squad.

GK's: Toby Savin Daniel Bentley Josh Griffiths Thomas Strakosha Freddie Woodman LEFT-BACKS: Rico Henry Souleyman Doumbia Ghislain Konan Junior Firpo Nuno Tavares RIGHT-BACKS: Brandon Williams Neco Williams CENTRE-BACKS: Marc Guehi Kyle McClelland Leo Hjelde Kiki Kouyate Andreaw Gravillon CENTRE-MIDS: Mattias Svanberg Marco Kana Yangel Herrera Ruben Loftus-Cheek Thomas Delaney Tom Davies ATTACKING MID: Jorge de Frutos Jens Petter Hauge Santiago Moreno Ryan Gauld Arnaut Danjuma Ryan Christie STRIKERS: Randal Kolo Muani Evann Guessand Giorgos Giakoumakis Odsonne Edouard Daryl Dike Brother, I'm outside & have a juicy pale ale next to me.

Correct! According to my exceedingly geeky transfer-link spreadsheet... (We've been linked with a TON of players already). - 5x GK's - 5x DL's - 5x DC's - 6x MC's - 6x Wide Attackers - 5x SC's

One more thing about Ryan Christie -- He's left footed.

Indeed. Would guess Christie would be eyed as a “Wide 10”?

It really does.

Annual Celtic link continues, this time it’s Ryan Christie: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15108878/ryan-christie-southampton-transfer-celtic/

Cristian Tello / Munir / Jean-Clair Todibo / Junior Firpo I had to raid the transfer archives to find these. Lets hope the Robbie Brady link is this years version of Lex Immers.

Nuno Tavares. Benfica Left-back. http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-brighton-newcastle-among-clubs-made-contact-signing/

Teamtalk linking us with Daryl Dike who’s on loan at Barnsley - £18m pretty much rules us out. https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-everton-wolves-lead-eight-team-prem-hunt-barnsley-star

Justin is a right-back isn't he? So they've got Ricardo Pereira & Castagne competing at right-back. (+ Justin when he returns). Fuchs is leaving - So they've got Luke Thomas & a new signing to compete at left-back. Pretty good options compared to us, currently!

Benteke suspiciously remembers he’s a striker when his contracts up.

Leicester is a great move for him & them. I wish him all the best.

Doesn't count as academy, as such, but:

Not too many updates today. Just Justin getting angry at people

That’s not gonna wash with MLG

Doesn’t mean he’s off, of course — but he’s conspicuous by his absence.

Is Ingsey modelling it? 👀

In the interest of fairness, I did call it The worlds most speculative transfer link

True. The Sun link is speculative, BUT, as you say, it's not crazily out of reality. Leicester supposedly want him, which could be a problem. I still can't see Moi getting another chance here, and his numbers at Celtic must have caught some attention this year. Do you see Edouard coming in and us NOT selling Ingsey?
