You're suggesting that THB hasn't been replaced. He has. After we signed big Kev, some people were actually expecting Stephens to be upgraded. That would have been nice, but given that one of the lads stayed to play CL football, and the other went to Fulham, we were pushing our luck. Anyway, the point is that THB has been replaced by Big Kev. Who's good. Let's not pretend he hasn't been replaced.

THB has been replaced by Big Kev. The nipper has replaced Quarshie. I'm not sure what else people were expecting at CB. Stewart, I'll grant you hasn't been replaced, but he was AWOL for years and couldn't be relied on. Elsewhere, we're about as we were, although I'd have preferred a brute who could carry the ball as a midfield option.

Rejoined on a one year deal. Suggests still trying to move Ramsdale on. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/jones-returns-on-one-year-deal

Steak. Good quality, well cooked, rested, dollop of mustard. Bliss. No cut I don't like, although sirloin is overpriced, and always bettered by many "inferior" cuts like flat iron, bavette, onglet, etc.

Jamie Jones has appeared on the OS as a first team keeper.

Yep. I was underwhelmed about getting him back, and whilst I'd prefer an option with more muscle/height, I've warmed to it and think he'll bring a lot to the squad and team this season.

Yeah, but 8th despite them, after only 4 games. Hopefully.

You tried finding a barbers in England? Impossible.

Find someone's nails to bite.

Call me Dr Cynical.

How they've got that on his shirt I don't know. Hopefully he's known as just as Prince

Injuries like his tend to clear up after the transfer windows close. Relax.

33 games last season for Swindon and Salford, and 5 goals in 4 games this season including a hat trick, so he must have something about him.

Jesus wept. That event gets live updates on the BBC website as per the Wimbledon final. They omit the stabbings, sexual assets, etc of course. Horrible event.

I can see the appeal of living on a farm having experienced that.

If Solly, it's been so long I've forgotten what a football looks like, March is the answer, christ knows what the question is.

Agreed. What we may need next season isn't an issue right now.

I've never understood why an event that's a hot bed of crime, assaults and sexual assault is so revered.

Or encouraging that a mid table PL club rate him highly enough to tie him down to a long term contract. I know nothing about the kid, but we've essentially replaced THB with big Slot, and Quarshie with the bambino. It feels like people's actual issue is that we haven't upgraded Stephens.

Agreed, although on paper Dobbin looked sensible given that Edozie doesn't have a future here. On the pitch though, he looks a poor pick.

We've had to bring cash in - we owed £90m + on transfer fee instalments. Most people knew and accepted that. Anyone who thinks is that a window that involves keeping Leo and Jander, and tying down Peretz and Larin, is a poor window, needs to give their head a wobble.

This kid is scoring for fun, and has league one experience with Swindon. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/teams/profile/princewill-ehibhatiomhan

Yep, seems for money. He's never set the world alight here, and never will. What's odd is that is that IF we were a bit short of money to get a decent CB in, that we turned down £4m for him.

It's a simple answer you would think - we could afford a certain amount after selling THB, but had a limit.
