If someone wants Rodriguez, good luck to them.

I think the club will cut ties with Gaston to be honest. He's not going to cut it at this level, that's pretty clear now. He's had a season at Hull and has been pretty pants for them, bar one or 2 flickering moments - and that's all you get. All we'd be saying is ''Oh, get Gaston on the bench in case he can make that pass....'' - but it's always in hope, rather than expectation, and 3 years into his contract that shouldn't be the case anymore. His wages and squad position should be used on a far more useful player.

This is the thing for me - this is one of the best saints sides in a generation. We're competing with the big boys and hoping that they slip up. I can honestly never remember feeling like that as a Saints fan, I always remember rooting on the big clubs to beat the bottom teams so we'd be safe. It's incredible how far we've come, and you're right - major perspective needed in the grand scheme of things, but as we know with football fans...they snapshot. One game, or a group of games, and the opinion is formed on that - either positive or negative.

Would expect Clyne and Morgan to do, no real doubts about that. Toby will probably return to his club, he was only a loan anyway so never one of ours. I can't see us losing much more tbh, it won't be as horrible as last summer. And thankfully we have a stable management in place right now....so we can plan for the positions that will open up. That's why I can see Clasie and Tonny as nailed on signings - they'll be the midfield reinforcements. Clasie, for me, would be a major coup for us. Probably only get 1 or 2 seasons from him, but he's a damn fine player. Very morgan-esque. At the back - I can see us getting someone like Bruno Martins-Indi - had a move to Porto, but it's not really worked for him there. Left sided CB, powerful, dominating CB (with the scariest eyes I've ever seen).

I think either way though, he's going to miss a decent chunk of next season - if not the entirety of it - so I hope the club are planning for the worst case and looking for a new number 1. We can worry about them fighting for their place when he returns, but hopefully we'll then be in a position where we have 2 v good goal keepers battling it out. I remember when we were bitten 11 years ago as we bought stop gaps because ''Oakley and Killer will be back soon''. You've got to do what's best for the team now, really. You can never be sure with knee injuries.

He's already launched the excuses for next season as well. ''If we're not in the CL, then we cannot attract the big players'' Given how well you did attracting all those duds in the summer with CL football, I'm sure Liverpool fans won't be too concerned.

I just cannot see how it would be allowed, or how Chelsea would even agree to it. Seems too big a gamble for something that won't really make a huge difference to us in the grand scheme of things. If we're lining it up for next season, I can totally understand - but still I'd say it would be incredibly unlikely.

Surely a no-go? Given that we have Davis, Paulo and Cropper, I cannot see how the PL will even allow it. Also given the fact that Chelsea, given how tight it is at the top, would be a little silly to weaken their squad in any way right now.

If anyone pays £25m for Clyne, who has a year left on his deal, then they are the dim ones to be honest. £15m tops I'd say. I think Morgan will go for less than Lallana too.

Alarming in the context of todays game, they can play better than that. But it was a bit turd.

This has an 89th min Eriksen winner all over it. Burnley have hustled their way through it, but the lack of quality in their site is seriously alarming.

Lol.

Yeah, always gets it wrong. Utterly horrific manager.

Elia is pointless. I don't see what he does. He doesn't seem to be able to beat a player, doesn't seem too quick, can't cross. Waste of a place If we buy him, someone needs shooting. He's trash.

Wooosh.

And he hasn't scored a league goal since, and that is also a fact.

To be fair, the only way we were going to score was for someone to type 1 before our name. Good result.

We could play all day and we would never score.

Still not quite sure what Elia does tbh. Wouldn't sign him at all.

Someone needs to get sacked based on their summer business. They wasted that Suarez money so badly. I'm sure I remember that a Top 4 finish was the minimum expectation this season for them. At the end of the day, Rogers broke a fairly stable team. He's not the savior of anything. Lallana, ok, with Emre probably the best of a bad bunch but hasn't pulled up any trees. Lolvren. Says it all. Markovic - i think he's been utter pants. Balotelli - what do you say? Tosh Moreno - a left back who can't defend. Great signing Lambert - A striker they don't play, even when they didn't have any. You could go on....Orgi who they loaned back out, and can't even score for Lille. Javier Manquillo, doesn't even play. Genius.

That scoreline is fully deserved. A big old GD dent would do nicely.

Liverpool are being destroyed. They are a mess. I wonder if the genius that is rogers, has got it wrong? Again?

We get the £1.5m from them. Basically, they have to 'buy out' the loan clause, which then allows them to either keep him or sell him to the highest bidder.
