Leicester result did us no favours at all, either.

There's that & probably the 40k p/week extra Everton are likely to pay him.

Pellegrini was apparently interested at the time, but we were put off by: a) No track record of bringing through youth. b) No history of high-pressing. So, after Puel got sacked, I reckon we went back in for him, but somebody mis-read the shortlist and we ended up with Pellegrino

Good list. May I add: - The decision makers at the start of last season thinking a strikeforce of Austin / J-Rod / Long was good enough to go into a season with.... - & then 12 months later [after a season of struggling to score & swapping Jay for Gabbi] we decided to do nothing about it again!

He's right to be worried. I'd move to Everton too currently.

The problem is that we get so confident & relaxed, that we fall asleep and some other f*ckers sign him.

We should've signed Lookman & Demarai Gray before they got snapped up. Said that at the time. Gray was £3.5m FFS.

Arsenal close in on Aubameyang and Everton on the verge of Walcott deal #afc #efc http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/01/15/arsenal-close-onpierre-emerick-aubameyang-new-head-recruitment/

What's crazy is we heard how multi functional he is.... Can play up top / Off the flanks / 2nd striker etc I don't think we've tried him as anything other than lone striker have we?

Impressive.

This is what we are trying to sell globally! F*ck up your academy! : The Southampton Way. (Packages starting at £499 - Optional package including lunch with Ralph: £550)

Perfect! We'll take him!

@Record_Sport: Celtic outcast Erik Sviatchenko set to join former club FC Midtjylland on loan

You are not alone. TBH, I was thinking about him the other day as part of my 'Who the f*ck do we sign if we get relegated' team.

Maybe Yoshi's hammy is bad and we actually decided we needed another centre-back handy.

Is MP in charge tonight?

@ed_aarons: Brighton have offered Bournemouth £4m for midfielder Andrew Surman

2-0 down already FFS

Probably. Hope it's not serious. (But if it is, we won't hear anything about it)

What's worse is he's likely MP's pick.

SSN: So if we aren't going to get Theo & Gaitan isn't on the list..... Then who's our speedster going to be? Sisto please.

Sorry Dunc.

His loan was only 6 months at Yeovil. Was lots of talk of them offering him a contract for a permanent move (perhaps hinting we're letting him go at the end of the season). But with Barnes going there, I'm assuming he's perhaps looking at going to a higher level.

Looks like it:
