Telegraph Football ‏@TeleFootball Graziano Pelle reveals to @JWTelegraph how a telling-off from Dad was the making of him. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/11966001/Graziano-Pelle-reveals-how-a-telling-off-from-Dad-was-the-making-of-him.html

I think he had a mixed bag, but the Bournemouth move has worked out like a dream for him. Read some stats a few weeks ago, and at the time I think he was right up there with number of passes & distance covered per game. Certainly deserves a good reaction on Sunday.

Had to dig deep into the archives to find this thread. The kid seems to be doing well for himself - Good to see.

Paul Bracewell has been confirmed as Sam's assistant.

Hopefully they pick a strong team in the Europa, play the high tempo pressing game to perfection against Rubin Kazan and are then knackered for the weekend.

Think Cortese ended up paying a fee for him. I'm sure there are loads - but Dean Richards must be up there.

Brendan Rodgers can come in and replace him. He'd love it.

Signed in July 2006.

I certainly feel Jack would have been better off playing every game for Swindon in league 1 rather than just playing 26 mins in the championship.

Let us know how he gets on, mate.

My favourite line:

Cheers for the update S-A. Pleased to see Clasie get through 60mins.

Will be very difficult game against a side looking very dangerous & have only lost once all season. Lots of pace & power and will look to cause us big problems on the counter attack. Vardy / Mahrez / Schlupp will have to be dealt with. Only Man City have scored more goals than them in the Prem this season - but they have let in 15 goals. Fingers crossed all our players come back fit.

This.

Agree about him needing a loan move. He's not been making the bench - And that's when Clasie has been injured. Just needs to find a team who plays good football, and will play him.

Article on the OS about JWP hitting 100 appearences: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20151005-james-ward-prowse-100-appearances-southampton-2729081.aspx?

Replace him with Seager. He's been on fire for the U21's.

Decent team, MLG.

Good point. He surely can't still be getting called up can he?

Very true. Pretty much everyone else is away aren't they? (Excluding Clasie & Caulker). Good experience for some of the U21 lads.

I think City have always had a longing for Pep Guardiola.
