Yoshida trained with us last November. I will always remember Yoshida scored a header and he said he’d used Grazianos Pelle barber which aided his header.

I’ve watched a lot of Scottish football Miovski is quality . We would be good for him as well the discipline of playing in our system would really help him and Matt O' Riley from Celtic is a really good player. He’s called the new Stuart Armstrong up there all Stueys qualities but of course younger and fitter. Very motivated Player and has worked with Russel Martin. Of course a long way to go but I see no reason why we can’t assemble a really good team for next season we’ve actually got a good solid base already

This definitely.

Broja was scoring in almost every game for Albania just before he joined us. He’s not gash he just a lad that’s needs some guidance and a kick up the arse sometimes. He enjoyed playing for us but badly influenced by friends and family . I havnt a clue whether he would be good for us now I’m really not keen on the idea of bringing back players. Anyway as I keep on saying I’m damned sure we will have transfer targets lined up. KWP leaving has been obvious for ages which will have generated replacements already . Totally confident but no excuses for Sports Republic this season we have had plenty of time to plan.

Doesn’t need to be that gory. The real horror is the banality of the violence and the setting of a decaying town in Derbyshire. Watch it. You know I’m always right 🤔

We’ve only signed Lalana

Brilliant film. Really terrifying far worse than a supposed horror film . Must watch it again.

I don’t believe we were ever interested in Ings. Bit of lazy journalism. He doesn’t fit in our team in anyway. His wages, his attitude, his poor fitness. I just can’t see Russell Martin saying Danny Ings, yeah he’d be perfect for us . As a back up it doesn’t make any sense either. we took Lalana back that decision makes perfect sense. i reckon we will be raiding a couple a Scottish teams very soon.

Of course and that did happen “ if we play like this we are getting relegated “

I would imagine if we only manage a draw the first some will be clamouring for a change.

6 weeks to make a deal but I’m damn sure we will have identified and assessed targets for quite a while. Of course we will not achieve all the targets but we will have option 2 in place. Yes I’m getting some of our decisions have seemed weird Lalana for example but that would have been carefully thought through before the decision was taken. I mean what was a big theme last season ? RM had players who didn’t want to be here/ had the wrong mindset. That must have been ridiculously difficult to deal with. The team did not hit the ground running at the beginning of last season. RM and the coaching staff won’t want to be fucking around with unsuitable players this time round. im getting an exciting vibe that’s not me being happy clappy. We are obviously not 100% guaranteed to stay up next season but it might not be as dismal as some of the usual subjects suggest. Fairly painless consolidation with a good solid base to progress further the following season.

The connection to Athletico Bilbao is definite https://medium.com/@nickharland11/the-unlikely-bond-between-bilbao-and-southampton-aaa550567dce First bunch of kids were housed at Stoneham https://www.basquechildren.org/

Getting in a couple of new players probably 🙄 O'Riley being the obvious one.

He was left out of the Danish squad caused great discontent amongst the Danish fans

Heralded as the “ new Stuart Armstrong “ younger of course with similar attributes , scores some cracking goals and is only going to get better. Danish fans were furious when he was left out of the squad. i watched him a lot last season. Perfect Saints player IMO and will no doubt heard a lot about us from Stuey.

Top 8 team is hopefully the plan moving forward but I’m confident the plan for this season is to avoid relegation ( obviously) and without too much pain. Financial stability and I still reckon there’s money in the pot. Whatever the moany narrative is last season was remarkable a broken team was resurrected and we made playoffs. I cannot believe that we will allow all that hard work slip away for a season of circling around the plughole. it’s seems we are a team that players are keen to play in. Downes is staying. No one has actually left yet. sure a long way to go but again fairly confident the bulk of the squad will be sorted by the time pre season. Russell Martin has a whole summer to prepare. For a good chunk at the beginning he still didn’t have a proper idea who he had available. No doubt I will get the usual comments but why don’t people get at least I’m genuinely optimistic I’m not damaging the forum ( I’ve been around this forum and even the early versions of it for a very long time ) and it’s a harmless alternative view surely it’s a lot better than jumping on every sign of weakness. I mean FFS the time Martin refused to shake the hand of some goalkeeper posters were screaming and shouting. Certain posters couldn’t wait to put the boot in. While Im here the new limited edition Play Off football shirt is rank. I’m not a football shirt wearer but actually liked the black shirt as did the players. Which of course reminds me of all the pathetic weeping and wailing because we should have been wearing red and white shirts at the final.Yet again whingeing for the sake of it .

They’ve just shown that cringeworthy Hey Jude Advert. Useful though it reminded me he’s playing

Trained with us last summer didn’t he ?

1-0 up and don’t push the advantage. Can’t think where I’ve heard that before 🤔

That’s fvcking obvious 🙄 hence we will be looking to strengthen the team . The impatience of some of our fans is beyond belief the transfer window has only been open for a couple of days with most eyes on the Euros hence loads of bullshit rumours. The window doesn’t shut until August 20th and I’m confident most of our work will be completed long before then. Cant imagine any last ditch attempts to sign players similar the debacle with Gapko. Martin will want players in place that can adapt to our style of play.

when I was popular on here I was part of that scheme 👍🏻

Which no relevance this season 🙄

I agree there are a few vulnerable clubs in the P.L. including Bournemouth , Wolves, Brentford, Leicester, Ipswich and there’s very little transfer activity so far.

As it stands. It’s obvious we are going to strengthen our squad. Process seems quite methodical so far. THB, keeping Flynn Downes ( most likely ) , Lallana, new contract for McCarthy, clearly in the market for a new keeper so far so good and continue to strengthen. Again why would anyone who runs the club want to take us into the P.L. with a weak squad ? Plenty of time yet.
