Conceding around half-time seems to be our speciality this season.

I'd send him back to Swindon to play games.

Remember his name from the old FM's. Interesting to see he's been converted from a striker, to an attacking midfielder, to a defensive midfielder. If he's anywhere near as good as N'Golo Kanté, sign him up.

I imagine Imbula will cost a lot more than we'd get for Selling Big Vic, and that's not normally what we do. I think Vic will go in the summer.

Good to see him again. Can he play centre-back?

Yeah, I looked yesterday. Wish I didn't!

Other results not looking great either.

We've actually improved our ability to concede before half time by conceding 2 instead.

Pace on wing: Demarai Gray. No.10: Hakim Ziyech.

He has ridiculous balance:

Absolutely dreading it. They are incredibly difficult to beat and we seem to have enough problems passing it without them using the Poch high-press to make it worse for us.

Demarai Gray linked apparently.

Yeah, I think had Sam joined MK Dons when they were in League 1, he'd have probably featured more. I remember that they signed a couple of strikers straight after they signed Sam.

He's signed another one! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20151204-josh-sims-new-contract-southampton-2018-2835452.aspx (You can thank me for this, as I'm going to Dublin tomorrow, and I can randomly remember he signed his last one when I was there last).

It's inevitable that Brendan will return to his spiritual home.
