Saint Matty 76

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.

If we don't win the cup and therefore qualify for the Europa League, this current squad is too big to keep everybody happy. Quite a few would have to leave in my opinion.

Why on earth would you sell Austin, let alone for £3m.

Starting to get slight hope of it dropping down to Members +2. Looks like there's a lot left right now but I guess that's another 5 criteria to go, fingers crossed!

Let's get Mancini please.

Now yes, the story Gabbiadini has come to an end. After having approached , Naples and Southampton have now reached an agreement for the transfer of the player based on 17 million plus 3 easy walking bonuses linked also to the goals that will mark the attacker. The player is ready to fly to England for him begins a new adventure starting from medical visits scheduled for tomorrow.

Looks like I'm going to have to buy a very expensive ticket on Stubhub.

Ward-Prowse has been embarrassing today.

No?

Happy with the midfield and attack, defence isn't inspiring though.

Think he's just wearing someone elses tracksuit.

Wonder if we'll end up with Dembele from Celtic in the Summer, really hope so.

He's the only player in our team who you think could regularly produce a bit of brilliance to win us a game (fair play to Rodriguez against Bournemouth but can't see that happening again). We'll miss him a lot, hope we get someone in on loan quick.

Hojbjerg - Romeu - Schneiderlin Tadic - NEW - Boufal Looks nice in practice, maybe a bit too defensive and not enough pace in there. May have to be a case of Romeu or Schneiderlin (if it ever happened that is).
