Jay looks like a player who hasn't played for some time... He needs to get some confidence.

Oh Jay

There are people challenging other people to fights over how big a match is and you choose this thread to criticise people for posting rubbish

Liverpool and Southampton are monitoring Espanyol prospect Marc Roca and could activate his £1.35m release clause in January. The 19-year-old midfielder is in the final year of his contract (Marca)

6pm. BT sport.

It's going to be like a updated euro version of Dellhurst Park

Probably due to Defour ploughing through his knee in the 1st half.

Great minds McQueen to start then?

21 players making the trip. Bertrand, Targett, Redmond not travelling. Boufal is on the plane

There certainly not many 6'4" strikers who can run with the ball either. He's made terrific progress in a year. He couldn't get in the MK Dons side last year. Coyle is probably a decent manager to nurture him too.

I certainly recall him being linked with Spurs.

He's got the 1st double of his career now. 2-0

The experience he's getting is invaluable. Really pleased for him.

We don't play him every game because he doesn't have the stamina or endurance for it IMO. Claude is managing him correctly IMO.

You've hinted at this before. A fit & firing Berahino is a very good player & a move is what he needs, but we would have to work some magic on him as he's thrown a sulk that even by our standard of sulks is impressive. He's very good mates with Redmond, I believe. I don't doubt that they would still be interested in Jay themselves too.

The latest episode of this was put up last week (text only this time). https://southamptonfc.com/news/2016-10-08/press-box-october-international-break-part-one

Very true. As he's 23, will WBA lose him for nothing next summer? Or will they get compensation?

Very early I know, but figured I'd create a thread for whispers about signings as they appear. Starting the ball rolling with this one: Southampton boss Puel targets Rennes attacker Paul-Georges Ntep: http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/southampton-boss-puel-targets-rennes-attacker-paul-georges-ntep-4151148

WBA still facing problems with Berahino. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/10/17/west-brom-put-overweight-saido-berahino-on-special-training-regi/

After his performances so far I've no doubt that we will want him to sign a new contract, but the Big Vic / Clyne situations in recent seasons do cross my mind. Fingers crossed he signs a new deal.

He does come across as a genuinely nice bloke.

Schneiderlin not even on the bench tonight.

One of the thing's I've noticed about Romeu when I've watched him is how well he senses danger.
