It is likely that Broja was born there as Wiki states Broja was born in Slough, England to Albanian parents

Yes that would be my pick too but I think he may keep a couple back and use them later in the game like he did yesterday. it is becoming a squad game these days rather than a team one

Seems have started OK to me just chill and see what happens

So what you cannot do anything about it as there is no fucking guarantee that the team you support has to be successful

What do you mean get rid of them for players to leave they must have a decent contract to go to I get the impresssion that ABK is a knob and no one wants him Airbo apparently is on a decent contract with no other clud wanting to match it So it is not easy to get rid of some players

The conditions changed completely after the rain break with the ball swinging and Worcestershire bowling well

Southampton reject Everton's £27m bid for Dibling according to the BBC How much should we expect to receive not sure when his contract ends Tyler Dibling: Southampton reject Everton's £27m bid for winger - BBC Sport

Add a few top class loanees and we could have a decent season if Still is any good as a manager

Or Sothampton in The Championsip either

Most top teams in the Championship get in loanees like we did recently

They did not offer Lumley a contract as we are in the Championship and they are happy two have the goalkeepers who took us promotion I doubt Leicester and Ipswich will win so many games this year and there do not seem to be teams of the calibre of Leeds around But only time will tell

Unfortunately players like KWP Adams Ramsdale and probably Fernandes and Dibling do not want to play for Southampton whereas Stephens and Manning do

The same FC Porto that were in the recent World Club Championship Jan seems to have landed a decent contract with a Top Europen club Others like KWP Adams and to some extent Suleman who long with Jan helped us to Promotion in 2024 have also moved to top clubs along with Managers Juric and Martin Meanwhile we recruit new players and a manager from lesser known clubs and hope they will develop into decent players However our track record for this is not good with only Fernandes currently deemed to be a success although we made a lot of money with Livramento and Lavia. Our Academy has not produced a regular PL player for sometime and our current star Dibling has escaped once and seems to want to do so again as he has not signed a new contract. Although the squad is poor compared with previous ones it is probably one of the best in the Championship and all the players could be replaced by better ones we need to support them an Will Still as I believe they can be in the promotion shake out in May.

That is a good reason why not to sign young players for loads of dosh happens at most clubs I would have thought Sancho at £70M is a good example

Clearly not Hampshire's

I do not like the Kookaburra but I expect Tilak Varma does

I was thinking the same but we have enough players many of whom got us promoted recently and others recruited for the PL Unless we move players out I cannot see many new players coming in

How are you going to get rid of them?

These are players who are contracted to the club I doubt it is easy for them to be shipped out as you suggest I do not disagree with your sentiments but Airbo and Fraser have contracts which end next year and they may wish to see them out Likewise with Dibling he may wish to stay another year and see what happens

Yes I thought that too he came as part of the Martin Chivers deal

Yes he is better than Tony Godfrey goalkeeper in the early 60s

Clearly there were good teams twenty years ago but in general the standard of the PL has improved in that time do you not agree

Stephens is a better all round footballer than Benali Dodd was pretty slow from what I remember The teams that Dodd and Benali played against were far inferior than those Stephens played against

Perhaps we will not go up in May 2026 but go up in 2027 or 2028 with a young team led by Jack which could stay up in the PL. That could be the plan as at present the standard in the PL is probably the highest ever

So what do you think the fitness coaches were doing sports science is pretty advanced these days perhaps they were told rushing about was not helping so conserve some energy
