2 GK's on the bench as well. these games are a waste of air.

I thought Austin was going to start? Same old. Sterling has done **** all for 6 months other than throw his dummy, no idea why he gets in. And why do we have a CB at RB? come on!

The CL is totally beyond a club of our size, it's not negative or depressing to state that - it's just being realistic with your expectations. That's why finishing in the Top 4 this season would have been a step too far, in my opinion. We'd have ended up in the Europa play off anyway IMO. There may be a unique season whereby we do qualify, but even then getting to any decent stage in the competition after qualifying is near on an impossibility without incredible investment on PSG/Man City levels.

It's always the same with Arsenal and Wenger though isn't it? A strong last few weeks to a season, covering over the obvious cracks which appear during mid-season. He then ignores them again and the issues occur the next season at the same stage. It's like a loop.

If he was going to reach his potential, he would have done by now. He's 28 and by all accounts on a decline downwards. I would imagine there are plenty more capable players out there. Glad we dodged this one.

He would cost £32.5m, and probably 80-90k p/w on wages. Southampton will never spend that on a single player. Not in the next few decades anyway.

Yeah, think he's been on our list for a while.

From what I made of that, we didn't offer him enough $$, whilst Bestikas did. Sounds like it's all about him joining Bestikas.

It was the cleaner who refused to return any of Lallana's calls last summer as well. Shambles.

He does, it's run like a seaside b&b.

Wouldn't say a debate as much, just lard and supersonic just getting destroyed.

But we risk filling the squad up with pointless clutter, who we will struggle to shift. I'm happy to go with the notion of letting the academy players provide the majority of the squad depth.

That list of yours is really taking shape. Keep it up.

Spurs ITK fans still living in their little cloud We are still talking to MS peeps, and he has not turned us down. Saints wanting crazy money for him which makes it difficult I am told. Key is Saints wanting crazy money for him. I mentioned before they are doing a DL. My personal take would be him seeing us as unlikely would then only go to CL club in UK. Few weeks ago he was very keen. There is nobody that can deny that. Know we still want him, but huge financial challenge is the obstacle.

Where is this from by the way?

Loan deal of the century.

What's he done?

Osvaldo for Jonathan Calleri. Done. Keep the change.

How's Jed Wallace?

Maybe we're being greedy and are getting both. Cause if you think about it, in terms of out and out strikers....we have 1! Long, Jay, Mane etc are more supporting forwards.

I'd make him our record signing to be honest. Wouldn't have any qualms about spending £15m on him Gone are the days of the 11pm club announcements, so the echo couldn't print....Cortese was a right vindictive idiot.

He's the chairman of Dilian Wanda....

Okaka was a huge flop at Fulham, spent about 6 months on loan a few seasons back. Had a big reputation as a youngster, but never seemed to go anywhere. Very tall and powerful though, so maybe seen as a Pelle alternative.

Interesting find that, written by our friend Wilson. He seems to get leaked legitimate stuff every now and then. Sounds like we're still positive on Toby. Will play out for a while.
