Saint Matty 76

1-0 West Brom, we're officially in the relegation zone!

Would be nice to have a forward who isn't a complete pussy. 16 in 21 this season as well so he's in great form. Doubt it's true though and would love to know where the apparent whisper came from.

Southampton eye Theo Walcott return as part of January rebuild following Virgil van Dijk exit The Saints are also tracking Celtic's Moussa Dembele while Swansea defender Alfie Mawson is on the radar From John Cross

6th place, two Europa League campaigns and a cup final. It's not all that bad.

Boufal - Dembele - Walcott would be such an exciting looking attack but I have no idea what Walcott's preference are these days, maybe a case where he only moves to a team guaranteeing him #9.

Peter Bosz Thomas Tuchel Eddie Howe Andre Villas-Boas

Why would Mkhitaryan step down from Champions League on £200k to a lower mid-table club on around £70k. Dembele and Walcott in with van Dijk and Long out would be good though. Agree that we should shift Tadic in the Summer though, one of the least productive #10s I've ever seen.

Hopefully we're now irrelevant enough that there won't be retrospective action.

Great touch and run from Redmond, realistically though he's got to be going other corner and scoring from there...

This forum constantly moans about the lack of creativity and flair in our team and as soon as we have a player capable of that we moan about him losing the ball.

His finishing in the demo, is that a joke?

Hope he tries Austin and Gabbiadini together at some point during this pre-season. Pretty sure he played on the right quite often at Napoli so a three behind Austin of Gabbiadini - Boufal - Redmond sounds pretty fun.

He quite simply is.

I like Stephens and I like Yoshida, they both did a job for us at the end of the season but I don't think anyone should want Yoshida starting. Stephens at a massive push but ideally we should be signing somebody like Sakho or Wimmer to go next to VVD.

Confirmed now.

They give odds for literally a hundred players, he's still odds on to stay with us by a long way. Absolutely pointless story.

Nothing against Puel himself, but this was the first Saints season of my lifetime that I missed games and wasn't particularly bothered occasionally whilst watching them. Excited to see if we manage to get Tuchel but he'll probably end up at Monaco now.

Would we be happy to sell van Dijk for £60m if it meant we were able to throw a bit more money about to get Tuchel in to replace Puel? Optimistic thinking.

Perfect situation seems to be getting Semedo in to play for a year alongside van Dijk before he gets his big move. Then repeat.

I know you're probably taking the ****, but other than Cedric and Romeu. You are right.

Would be disappointed if we didn't go for one of Keane/Maguire.

If we can go this Summer only losing Bertrand from our first team I'll be happy. Good player but he's replaceable and hasn't been at top form this season I don't think.

Never mind, got it! Buzzing.

Just bought my two tickets. Haven't got e-mail confirmation though so a little worried.

That's the exact same situation as myself, think it'll be tight but we have a chance.
