SuperSAINT

Time will tell. Jose wants to play him in a role he’s not really played for us before.

Good move for him. A slightly strange loan move from us, that one.

Went back to FC Augsburg.

Midfield Centre

Only 2 more months of Fake ITK....

Well done Saints. Ralph's been after a right-back since he's been here. Good price too & we know he can do the business. Very pleased with this deal.

Good luck to Pierre. Actually quite interested to see how he does. I don't rate him as highly as I did Morgan or Vic respectively, but Carlo & Jose seem to think he's mustard. Good to get the deal done this quickly (& great to get KWP over the line too). Now to see how Ralph thinks it's best to go about filling the midfield gap.

http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-hinteregger-eintracth-frankfurt-transfer/ surely not.

Lemina will give it the big: “I only want a permanent transfer” etc only to limp off on loan somewhere.

The only manager who wants to sign him — wants to sign him: http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-velez-guido-carrillo-mauricio-pellegrino-transfer/ Another loan effectively ends his time here.

Probably waiting for Simon Peach to have his holiday...

Didn’t he also admit to not playing for the team in the 1st part of the season too.

Impressive that he played for their U23’s at 15. The academy scholars should get announced soon.

& we don’t usually spend £8m+ to say: “we’re a little short of firepower in the U23’s” (or ‘B’ team) With that said... I do like the idea of signing really young talented players.

There's a lot of it going around lately He's got great potential but it's a fair amount of cash to put down.

Is this legit, Pilch? or pretend ITK?!

Depends what Boufal is doing. I would also imagine he would want to walk straight into the team too.

I suppose it goes on KWP.

In Ralph we trust. Big pre-season ahead for him if he can catch his attention. WTF happened to Callum Slattery ?!
