SuperSAINT

That's a shame. Given how they've played recently, selling Wilson & rebuilding must be quite tempting.

Read it again this morning & it's good.

Only 2 goals for them. Scored about 300 goals in pre-season for them. Needs a good run without injury & I think he can score some goals lower down.

Ings back in training today.

Seager currently on trial at Bristol Rovers. Could indicate a Will Wood type situation where we've told him we aren't going to resign him so we let him go out to different clubs during the season to help them find a club. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/southampton-starlet-currently-trial-bristol-2431369

Echo article saying that Tyreke Johnson & Marcus Barnes "both expected to return to the Saints squad for tonight’s clash against Derby County" despite playing for the U23's on Sunday."

Over 6ft? I'm sold on him already.

Maybe. They could just bodge Milner there though. Fabinho used to be a right back too.

Makes sense if Ralph doesn't like him to ship him out, bring in a replacement and hopefully have some leftover to add to the transfer pot.

Doesn't scream "fast paced high pressing"

Alan Nixon has been saying for a while we're looking for a 60k wage contribution for any deal.

Obafemi out for a further 3 weeks. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17357162.southampton-striker-michael-obafemi-will-miss-crucial-games/

That answers the question of 'why now?'

Now that's a tough job. Interesting to see who they will go for.

I know Norwich went down, but pretty sure his contract was running down there too.

According to a report in The Sun, apparently we want to extend his contract. (No surprise there!) https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/01/14/do-report-hasenhuttl-makes-decision-about-future-of-southamptons/

If true, Jim Proudfoot is a modern day prophet.

Perennial Saints transfer window linkee (just created that word) Munir from Barca joins Sevilla.

I think it might happen in the summer as he's one of our highest-worth assets & going into this summer we won't have any big cash from previous sales in our transfer kitty (which we usually do).

As above. Ralph refuses to comment on Mepham/Watkins.

Ralph seemed confident about getting one in: Wisely wouldn't comment on Watkins / Mepham stories.

Notes from Lampard:

Lemina just needs to get fit. No idea what kind of injury he's got. Wonder if it's a hernia of some kind.
