That would be an incredible signing but he has a 35m euro release clause

ANYONE who wants a ticket can get one , it will either go down to members or you can pay for one from the many ticket sites , i know its more expensive but it is still viable ...down to £280 now and coming down

Ok Gonna try to put a bit of a bright side on this , Yoshida and Stephens with OR in front of them kept a clean sheet at anfield .......yes Gardos and Stephens let in 5 against Arse reserves but that was without OR shielding them. As it stands , Gardos was very highly rated when he came , yes he has had injuries but fingers crossed he can regain his form , he was known for being tough and uncomprising in defence a very hard tackler , so he is or will be viable . We also have Bertrand who can drop in as left sided CB and put Mcqueen at LB , Yoshida is a right sided natural CB anyway. The club by the way Highly rate Alfie Jones as a future star and potential club Captain , hence he is now captain of the u23 team , i can see him being pushed forward as well although he is only 19. KEY TO ALL THIS THOUGH IS ROMEU !!!! if he gets injured the protection level will drop dramatically and we are then i believe in trouble!!!

Maybe..palace are hijacking our deal ......maybe

Deals can be done by clubs by meeting the player in a hotel and signing it all up ....they do not have to be in Southampton to sign a deal . Just saying

I know a few on here dont rate Sakho but look at whats available ......list the alternatives ....for me the only two viable are Mcquire and Ivanovic . Sakho as a player is strong a good passer , yes he goes missing occasionally but maybe that is down to having lovren next to him VVD and Sakho i believe would make a formidable CB pairing with OR in front of them .

you can get whatever you want for about 370 quid a ticket from sites that seem to have plenty annoyingly

I bought six bundles on my company corporate for the homes and went to Milan and Prague ....and it still doesnt qualify cos they wont count it against me personally grrrrrr

The nearest to SRL in the championship from what ive seen is already our player .........SAM G

Personal view , I was really ****ed off with Puel for putting Redmond back in against Stoke . Jay Rod really looked like he was getting there on Sunday , I know he missed from 4 inches out but he could have done with another start to push the improvement on .....But no he drops him and shuffles the midfield , its getting a bit much

Our problem is simple to rectify , it may not be immediate but Puel needs to .........DECIDE ON HIS BEST 11 AND STICK WITH IT NOW The problem is not the back five or six they virtually pick themselves .....Forster Fonte VVD cedric or coco Bertie or mcqueen ...with Romeu in front ....thats fine . Its in front of these we have absolutely no continuity .....they play like strangers , players make runs and they are ignored instead ofthe runs being anticipated . Its not by accident teams at the top of the division have the same core players every match . So IMHO claude needs to decide Hoberg , davis tadic boufal jayrod ....or whoever ...but stick with it , only then i believe we will see fluidity and an edge to our attack .

Looking forward to tonight ......for the doomsayers on here just look where we would be in the table if we pick up 3 points tonight !!! I saw great improvement in Jay Rod on Sunday and I can see him steeping up and scoring tonight , he looked much sharper his movement was better and he put in a good shift . The one worry I have is if you look at the stats on average Forster only has Two shots on target max per game to deal with , we actually have the second best defensive record in the league behind chelsea .......and yes I do take on board we need to score more goals , but if you look at the amount of games Forster has just 1 shot on goal to deal with and he concedes this concerns me . As a goal conceded against shots on target from the opposition I would bet our ratio is by far the worst in the League ....needs addressing . 2 nil saints tonight a goal from Jay Rod and Boufal

All the above is correct , actually the shareholders voted against it at a meeting organised by two fans and the meeting room was paid for by them as well ......ironically held at the Runnymede hotel ....think it was the only time all the shareholders were in agreement and in the same room for about ten years !

Can i throw a suggestion in , We now play an interchanging 3 at the front , we dont have a single target man and to be honest we dont need one .....Barcelona play this system with messi , neymar and suarez none of these are monster target men and they do not have a set you play on left you on the right and you in the middle , they constantly swap crosss over and make runs . This is how to break down a defence . So do we need a big lump in the middle , no we need a goal scorer 15 goals a season plus ........ My picks Lewis Baker Dembele Moussa from celtic Adama ...from boro Tammy abraham ....chelsea on loan bristol All of these are our type of signings

one thing we dont need is a left back

Really ??? i thought if we finish second we could ?

First Euro tour ive missed this year not happy ..........hope we get good draw after christmas ....not white hart lane

My thoughts on the match ...... Defence we dont have any issues , fonte and VVD with Romeu playing in front are as solid as any defence in the league . The full backs we have to come in are strongest with Bertrand and Cedric ....Targett and Mcqueen are fine a back up for Bertrand , martina is far to nervous at this level and constantly slows our momentum down by passing backwards ....need to be replaced.....its a shame we didnt take callum chambers on loan instead of him going to middlesborough he would have been back up for cedric and for the CBs hey ho . Our problem currently is scoring goals , I honestly do not think its a personel problem I think our options are fine ! the issue is continuity . Last season Leicester won the league playing virtually the same front four all season , liverpool play with mane coutinho firmino and Lalana every game they are available , the run chelsea are on has seen is be pedro moses hazard and costa . The main area we have rotated because of the fixture pileup i up front and attacking midfileders , we need after we get the last two europas out of the and no european matches till March get some continuity up front . Let the players build partnerships with the FBs and get some fluidity into our play in the final third , i believe that will see the goals start to flow . We have a superb defensive spine , we just need to cement the front end in place decide who the best four/three are and stick to it for a few matches . All good overall and looking forward to the run to christmas , qualifying for the rest of the european tour and maybe nicking a semi final place from arsenal. For the doom mongers ....please consider Liverpool have been steam rolling teams recently , we kept a clean sheet .

What do we know about the Saints Boardroom ?? they do not leak stories unless they have a reason to do so ! This was clearly leaked by the club .......Possibly to get another preferred buyer hustling up a bit ??

One bit that concerned me was in the Milan game last Thursday , Mcqueen was screaming at him to collect a ball over the top ...bit worrying when an academy boy is pleading with him to come off his line .

We have a very good young CB coming through the academy , he is now captain of the under23 squad , Alfie Jones

I really didn't think the guys behaved badly , i did look at the bottles being thrown in the canal on Wednesday night and think was a shame they were doing that ....but drunken boys basically , no trouble that i saw and we were at Navali all night . However so you all know We got an email on Thursday morning from the corporate team at the San Siro informing my group the alcohol was banned from 11am to 11pm on matchday in and around the stadium under a order from the Milan council because of the poor behavior on Wednesday evening . So we suffered no red wine with our prawn sarnies in corporate .....lol;)

I would imagine who to mark is going to become a major issue for teams once Boufal is starting , Boufal Tadic/Redmond with Austin waiting to pounce is going to make interesting watching TBH

Corporate hospitlity is available at 200 quid a ticket for inter game if anyone fancys it

Probably too late now but if you have any desire to go to Dubai at some point ensure they stamp a piece of paper not inside your passports at border control Israel
