SuperSAINT

He's either going to tear that league up, or get sent back before the loan is due to expire. Not selling is disappointing, assuming we needed to raise capital for other signings.

What about Patrick Roberts? Thought he was off to Leicester, but hasn't gone there yet. Left footed but plays on right-hand side.

DA FUQ?!

I think one of the immediate problems they face is all the elite players at 17/18/19 not getting match time in the top league.

Let's hope so. Looking forward to seeing Elyounoussi in action, but if he gets injured we're looking a bit threadbare up top.

I'm assuming "get European experience" is b*llockspeak for work permit.

Brighton sign rumoured Saints target Percy Tau.

You're probably right & a fantastic way to get around FFP!

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.
