SuperSAINT

Fraser Forster poised to leave Southampton Fraser Forster is looking increasingly likely to leave Southampton on a free transfer despite his form earning an England recall this season. Forster, 34, has started every Premier League game since Boxing Day and his performances earned a place in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the March friendlies, putting him in contention for a World Cup place. But his contract at St Mary’s runs out in two months and the club committed to Alex McCarthy. McCarthy has been sidelined since December but published Football Association documents confirmed “updated contract” paperwork has been lodged, which is understood to be a long-term deal. With McCarthy set to return to the first-team squad, Southampton are in the market for a younger No 2, according to a club source. They also signed Willy Caballero on a short-term deal when McCarthy was injured and the Argentinian’s contract is up this summer. Forster would be among two England goalkeepers available on free transfers this summer with Sam Johnstone also leaving West Bromwich Albion after keeping his place in Southgate’s squad while in the Championship.

Leicester looking at Madueke, apparently. Think I read for £30m+

Ethan Burnett playing for Reading U23 tonight.

Wonder strikes too… 👀

Ditto the Jankewitz thing, I think. I’d heard (not sure how true) he wanted to know if we would be signing (for example) a Chelsea or city equivalent who would further block his path.

Injury. But likely to leave regardless unless things have changed

The one that got away…

James McAtee

Because teams like Newcastle will pay it.

He was

Is it on TV?

Random Thursday match… bit of an unknown quantity with the managerial change.

Notorious for being mind-controlled, that lot.

Brennan Johnson could probably be moulded to suit a “Ralph Wide 10”. Looks a hell of a talent.

Can you start by finding out who’s designing the sets for the pretend Ukrainian war that we’ve made up. Very realistic pictures.

Indeed. They have some incredible talent in their academy but that’s the result of (as you’ve pointed out) basically being like a whale eating krill in how they hoover up talent.

A very “Saints” move.
