I don't want rid of him myself. It was just a theoretical move that IF we want Ox, and IF Vic tells the club he won't sign a new deal & Arsenal want him, it wouldn't be beyond the realms of impossibility a P/X could get discussed.

Have to wonder if they'd be any P/X with Big Vic if the Gunners want him.

Oh nice! Looking forward to it.

Pelle - £8m to Milan the latest rumour http://talksport.com/football/southampton-striker-graziano-pelle-ps8m-target-ac-milan-160408191320

Exactly, if they are going to stay up, they need to get some "unlikely away wins".

Wasn't there an article earlier this season in the Telegraph saying that he (along with Juanmi) are expected to feature next season? (I'm not convinced either will happen).

I just find it interesting that he's seemingly remained fit during his time there.

Maybe he *REALLY* badly misspelt "Tuchel"?

With there rookie keeper and a shaky defence, a fast start is required with a goal or 2 to go with it, please. Don't want one of those games where we dominate early, don't score, then they start coming into it. Our attackers should relish this game.

Team selection should be interesting - fingers crossed we'll have a whole squad to choose from. 4-4-2 for this one, maybe?

Yeah, didn't Ron say he does all of our set-piece work?

I think we will definitely go 5-3-2 for this one.

Agree with Bats. I'd imagine that there will be a fair few leaving Liverpool, but I wouldn't imagine Ibe is one of them. I've always been impressed when I've seen him play.

They need a Pearson or a Dyche to guide them through the championship IMO. The problem they have is that they signed lots of players in the summer for big money, on big contracts who are going to be hard to shift.

Newcastle keeper Rob Elliot to miss the rest of the season. That's their 1st & 2nd choice keeper both out.

Yeah. Can you imagine the Sky reporter asking him about it for 10 minutes at the start of every press conference?

Wasn't there talk about us offering Poch a 5 year deal as well before he left?

Ah, the England wide-left position. Our favourite position to bodge talented players into.
