Think the headline about Southampton Supremo is a little misleading (probably written after a few pints of McEwans and a battered Mars Bar supper)

I expect he'd regard Reading as his "spiritual home" though. As a back up RB for Cedric though he might DAJFU instead of Martina.

Where did you see this ?

FFS - hope its not tartan blankets and thermoflasks day out.

Yes, got the bastards!

Uncanny resemblance to Osvaldo.

Same could be asked about Gabriel, Walker, and O'Neill. When it comes to 'Fantasy Football' I've often wondered the outcome of Wimbledon's Crazy Gang v our Alehouse. McGrath v 'Fash the Bash', and O'Neill & Fisher doing combat with Vinnie Jones & Dennis Wise in midfield.

Ditto ... good name. Hope you have a good Saintsfest p1ss up, Saints shirts and leiderhosens, not sure how they go together.

I think he's found John McGrath's old shorts.

Thought it was internet purchase only

Just googled Alf Charles - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Charles - inside forward, 1937.

Didn't Saints have a black GK, possibly in the 1920's, Alf Charles ?

Yes, I meant David Hughes.

Didn't we have a young midfield player, Paul Hughes who scored either on his debut or after only a couple of games, possibly when Alan Ball was our manager ? Then injured and disappeared.

Injury record and without a club for however long.

Stephens confidence will take a greater battering if he's torn apart week after week in the league.

Three and a half year contract on £100,000 a week it is then.

Franny Benali.

After yesterday this is probably the more critical consideration

So, South American recently playing in Serie A, work permits, recovering from an injury, probably not match fit... Seems it has the hallmarks of a classic Saints signing. Nice one Les, it was all so avoidable

He'll do what Ralph and Kat tell him. Whether they choose to intervene is another matter.

For all those talking about Marco Silva now though, please bear in mind Hull have allowed him to bring some replacements in to cover key positions. How would he fare if he'd had our most recent window to contend with? Hypothetical I know, but it has left Puel short changed to say the least.

Don't worry chaps, bound to be a reassuring youtube video from Uncle Les at the end of the season telling us everything is under control.

Can't imagine there'll be many takers lining up for him.
