I've just been playing FM and noticed Koeman got sacked by saints at the back end of last season. Southampton appointed Rudi Garcia as his replacement.
I think this confirms any speculation. I'm ITK.
Lallana is a bit of an almost player to be honest. Almost scores a great goal, almost provides a great assist, almost makes a good pass. His finishing and final product have also been incredibly powder-puff to be honest. But he looks pretty in the buildup before almost playing that pass.
Hodgson threw that away with that final sub. Our strength is attacking, so don't take off our pace outlet and replace them with Milner. Mental.
And that was also not the first time Rose was done in that game. A good attacking outlet, but an horrific defender.
Cheers Guan. Do you have any further updates in terms of what's going on with Ronald first off....? And if we're still actively trying to acquire players?
When I say not a fit, I'm more referring to what we usually seem to look for in managers in terms of their age etc. He'd be a bit of a left field appointment in that sense, but still - terrific manager.
How many more moves does he need to have before people realise he's 'gone' at the top level?
Such a shame as he was a world star, but that injury has finished him at any decent level.
Sometimes it's a bit more than looking at goals and assists though. Mane is clearly technically a lot better and quicker, although you can't really compare them as they play in similar positions.
Denney is alright, but he didn't set the world alight last year (for me..). I personally thought he'd do a little better than he did.
Spread of goals over the season isn't bad:

Seems like Rudi Garcia is being linked with the (potential) Sevila job.
If we did get him though (Garcia) at least we'd be able to resurrect the Rudi Skacel song...
Ah well, it'll make the summer interesting!
Although we're still waiting to actually lose our manager....something fishy going on there with this delay IMO.
If £15-£20m is the going price for Deeney, and it's still rejected, then jesus christ this is going to be an expensive window.
£30m for Mane? jog on. If those prices are being talked about for Denney, I'd want £50m upwards for Mane.
