SuperSAINT

I suppose it all depends on the quality of the lads you bring in.

This is true, but they probably don't pay Balotelli in acorns & magic beans.

https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-07-20/matt-hale-academy-structure-southampton Pleased to see us slowly branching out into Europe for youth recruitment the last couple of years.

Nice possibly taking Boufal on loan. Seems crazy when they've made a fortune in sales.

Pretty sure the question Nixon replied to about Saints news specifically said relating to "not Danny Ings".

Yeah. A real shame for him. Hope he's back soon. Bakary & Siu leaving has cleared a pathway for him in the U18's too.

Probably a full interview coming soon. Is the Director of football operations a new title?

I'm unsure where his potential ceiling is. Maybe he will mature & flourish later. Maybe not. Maybe he will have a Ben Arfa-esque career.

Nixon saying he will run something Saints related Sunday. Last couple of things he's run has been Boufal to Nice & Ings to Saints, so set your anticipation level depending how you feel about those 2 stories. I'm unsure if it's an 'in' or 'out' story.

A really good breakdown of everything that's happened (so far) this window. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44848775

If Dortmund or Sevilla can't get him over the line, I doubt we could. He'd be great though. Not sure we're due anymore big signings.

Everton interested in Loftus-Cheek & Batshuayi.

They probably would. They have 8 forwards for 3 positions. I've not included Lallana or Brewster in that either!

Now is that weird sort of twilight zone where Prem sides decide who they want to keep/loan/sell. I suppose Sam would be quite a pricey purchase for a lot of sides & who knows, maybe Hughes might like the look of him.

Credible source? Thought he was going to be very good but seemingly fizzled out in Germany.

I can't remember who said it on here, but somebody said he plays like he's in front of a mirror. Thought that was brilliant.

Yeah & his ego & attitude wasn't a surprise. I can remember that a quick google told us he had a attitude before he signed.

Ox out for the season

I only want good news, mate

Wouldn't surprise me if Lookman was an alternate option for Elyounoussi.

Everton ramping up....

Fulham back in?
