Monk

We have been concerned but we’ve also highlighted to clubs that the talent is there, we’re world and European champions!

Those of you that watched, what did you make of Mason Mount. Some staff at The FA rate him as the best footballing talent we’ve had for a decade.

Rondon at £13m would be a snip. What's happened to the Alcacer link? It's gone very quiet.

Good post. Wasn't sure why we gave Rose a new deal, assume he's impressed despite originally being a 'stop gap'. Assume the new PL international tournament, PL 2 and Checkatrade Trophy will allow a number of opportunities.

Napoli sniffing around. No idea how serious the interest is.

It was, however some clubs who originally believed they could operate at that level have since withdrawn their application.

I haven't directly other than a cup of coffee on a table of ten! Lot's of colleagues at work have worked with and under her through the women's pathway. Superb coach (just graduated from Pro Licence). Incredibly influential figure in the women's game, potentially opens up a lot of doors for Saints in terms of player/staff recruitment but mainly development of our own. We've got some incredibly talented staff in the women's programme already at Saints. This will have all the clubs paying attention to Saints - despite not having a licence *yet.

https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-07-16/announcement-marieanne-spacey-cale-head-of-girls-and-women-southampton Massive appointment from Saints, Marieanne has been a huge 'cog' in the machine that has been progress of womens/girls football in England. Might also help with the club achieving a professional licence.

Adam Blackmore implying it's not true on twitter.

Agree, never understood the hype with Ings.

It's happening. Pretty much from the horses mouth and his trainer.

Some from the inside believe it coincides with working with Dave Watson.

Or the UEFA qualified goalkeeping coach, working in professional football. Helmet.

Not harsh to blame FF for the second goal. What is incredibly frustrating is its professionally and publicly renowned that FF footwork needs alot of work (openly criticised for the lack of power stepping) and yet Dave Watson has not done anything to support this.

Moses Odubajo - currently on trial* with Celtic after his contract with Hull finished. I really liked what I saw of him in the PL with Hull, then he had that horrible ACL injury that took him out for a year. Returned in the Championship season and had another injury. With Pied moving on, decent back up option on a low contract.

Ridiculously highly rated by FA/England set up.

& what exactly does it tell you?

Also says' back to the drawing board'.

Go on then, what do you do?

European based centre back, June 8th.

To be fair, this is the first season I'd be very happy if we kept the same home shirt. Obviously that won't be the case. Anyone remember the days of some kits lasting two seasons!?

Looks like City are set to sign Mahrez with Leicester getting Patrick Roberts as part of the deal.

Because he's a much better footballer.

Let's get this right, Bertrand really isn't deserving of a call up.

He really isn't at all.
