Leaves them well short if he doesn't, Sakho is already injured although it was only for about 3 weeks a week ago. WC summer is really taking it's toll followed by Euro 2016 qualifiers straight away. Far too much international football with all the competitions going through group stages, straight knock out over 2 legs would be better, same as the Fa Cup but with seeding according to FIFA ranking.

Far too many international breaks just now anyway, players are dropping like flies during them, no doubt because they're too much influence of coaching staff who know relatively little about them and subject them to hazardous training regimes. As Oscar Wilde said, the only thing that is worse than not being called up for international duty is being called up for international duty. Still Saints seem to get away with it relatively well injury wise, soon will change I expect,with what 15 or 16 players on ID each time round the chances of not a single one getting injured must be decreasing each time round. And it gets worst for the Arse, in addition to Ozil getting injured for 10/12 weeks with the Germans Koscielny is now out with achilles tendon troubles (again). Wenger used to pull them all out in advance for no reason, you can see why now.

Might partially expalin why it took a while to get his international clearance through though, perhaps Salzburg lost their paperwork for a few days.

Glad that someone else noticed that, was beginning to think I'd seen a game from a parallel universe or something. VW is cumbersome and clumsy, very poor in the air and a bad passer, still no doubt he runs around a lot and puts in crunching tackles from time to time.

Just seen that Coates,Alvarez and Giacherini are all supposed to be injured and out for at least a month. Don't know exactly how they got injured though.

No but seriously, there was a discussion on L'Equipe TV the other day where one of the pundits said that Morgan "was only playing for Southampton" and should be replaced by Kondogbia who was playing for a far better club viz the laughable Monaco, being second or third in the PL at this moment in time means nothing to these insular pundits, good player=big club, ie not Stoke or Saints or Wapping Town. Cabaye being just a bit part player at PSG is considered far better than being a 35 game a seasoner at Newcastle, some of these people are really blinkered. Why doesn't Shawcross ever get an England call up? Must be a better CB than Stones or Chambers tbh, probably because he plays for Stoke.

As I've said many times before in the global footballing world we are perceived as minnows for whom any respectable player is too good. Anyway African football pundits are universally known for their jingoistic tub thumping in favour of their personal favourites...look at Mayuka..was supposed to be one of the worlds top 100 players, no doubt put there by african pundits with very limited vision..when Mané stops trying to be too personal and stops rolling about on the deck if someone breathes on him that will be an advance.

Larsson probably, maybe some scots and other obscure nations as well.

Far too early to make any realistic predictions, everything will depends on where we finish this season and how our "star" players come through it. Some of them could get injured or lose form, that would downgrade their desirability.

Same, but you have to watch out for the quality of some of the streams,if you're not careful you'll find yourself with a Kazakh brides catalogue flashing up about every thirty seconds or so from here to eternity. I use that system and go for firstevents, couple of french car adverts for 20 seconds or so and then you get uninterupted match for the rest of the afty. Nortonsafe picks up the dodgy ones in a flash but it's usually those that tell you that your media player needs updating, it doesn't as a rule, the MP update is loaded with bolloaks that you don't really want..unless of course you do fancy a bulgarian fiancée for about 30£.

Ah no, there's another round in November, might be just one match this time though, still be a week's break though. After that it's March.

Seen the gallery of training during international call ups ? More coaches than first team players, should think it would spur the few left behind to try to get an international spot next time round...November isn't it ?.

Honestly the subscription to Saints player (if that's your only possibility) is so ridiculously low that it's not worth wasting time and effort looking for other solutions. Saw many of us through the wilderness L1 and NPC years. You can always watch the PL games online anyway. Free as a rule.

I wouldn't want us to be like the Everton I saw against Utd on Sunday.

If it's juicy gossip then let sleeping dogs be awakened.

Not entirely convinced that the plan didn't actually change en-route, still happy enough with the result myself so don't much care.

If he was that good he'd be starting every week instead of Wanyama or even Davis. He's a good player but not a top player.

Not really, 2 completely different players. If we should sell Morgan we'll buy a replacement far far better than Cork. Don't get me wrong I like Cork but he can't replace a far better player, but he should play with him just now;

Who is ? PSG is a place any decent player should avoid like the plague...ask Cabaye about it? They want Argentines,Brazilians and Italians, players people in some gulf emirate will have heard of.

made the full England squad as well after Stones dropped out, perhaps we'll get an add on even sooner than anticipated for that.

It's a case of each to his own I suppose, I am not a fan of lumbering hulks in midfield, for me Cork is more vivacious, passes more accurately and reads the game far far better.

think he needs more game time actually.

As I said stupid fouls, when a man mountain leans on a little lightweight the ref is going to blow up.

If you say so but this season VW has started 4 out of 7 and we've lost 2 of those and drew one other. In fact I think we've only won 1 game that he's started this season. Lacks poise and control in my view, slows us down.

I thought we had difficulty in midfield in the first half at least justly because Wanyama gave the ball away a lot of the time, if not he was committing stupid fouls . I really don't think he's better than Cork, seems to have no poise or class, panics a lot.
