Back in the squad. https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-10-04/international-call-up-alex-mccarthy-england-october-1819

Good stuff. Slowly gotten himself into contention, playing well & getting fitter.

Sounds like he's developing quite well. Source: https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/nigel-cloughs-verdict-southampton-loanee-2068476

Playing wide-right midfield at the moment & doing well. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16956046.corry-evans-on-reeds-impact-and-his-backing-from-mowbray/?ref=mac

Goals from Hazard / Giroud imminent.

Bizarre that he wasn't even on the bench tonight.

Well, it must be because somehow he keeps getting picked.

This.

£70m spent hasn't really made us better.

Interesting. Let's hope this pans out. We've seemingly been very pro-active in France recently in youth recruitment so I wonder if he's played a part in that.

Shane Long hasn't trained and is a major doubt for the game.

Injury update:

On the bench for the U23's vs Porto tonight. Started for the U18's at the weekend too.

Yeah, it's not quite clear that we've had value from the £70m summer spend just yet.

Nice idea for a thread, Garrett. It's never too early!

Great win for them.

His 16th birthday came & went. Nothing happened.

Apologies: Already a thread started. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?60274-Elye-Wahi#.W6pFk4XTXYU

Possibly not worth its own thread but it's such a bizarre story. http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-involved-really-strange-transfer-mess-15-year-old-prodigy-decision-expected-soon/

Their reserves tanked us last season at St Mary's. Can't see us getting anything with our calamitous defence.

So he did! Didn't notice that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIaQxKIsUI&feature=share

Started & got an assist in 3-3 draw with Valladolid.
