Forgot Charles and Edozie. They are worth keeping.

Its really interesting reading all the opinions of players and who should stay and who should go. In reality we probably on have Ramsdale and Fernandes who we should keep; maybe include the talent that Dibling is (rather than the finished article he isn't yet). Ramsdale is being touted about everywhere by everyone it would seem, and think he might stay. Fernandes much less, but I hope he stays (only going on his recent quotes really) but probabaly wont. Didbling in my opinion is 50:50 (given his Chelsea experience). EVERYONE else I really couldnt give two hoots whether they go or not. Some I would prefer to go for sure. I'd happily see the players move on; Stephens, AMC, Bree, Manning, Bednarek, Smallbone, Fraser, Onuacha, Sugawara, Aribo. Im happy to give these a season as still young enough to improve; Archer, Wood, Wellington, Edwards Ive probabaly missed some out but thats the problem! Will Still has a viewing very big summer and a very big task ahead of him. I expect ALOT of INS, but more OUTS. I also expect it to take (and think it best) two seasons to get back to PL.

Archer will be a decent player so I hope he stays. The others are more than welcome to **** off.

Oh yeah!!! Knew I'd forgotten one. I like him too. Great experience, solid pro. And can play CB.

Ramsdale- brilliant KWP - brilliant he's still here THB - great we got the deal done last year Downes - great Fernades - very excited by him Cornet - excited BBD - think he'll be great Fraser - very pleased he's back Archer - very excited Suga - looks awesome Lesley - excited Edwards - I expect he will be good in a year or so Wood - still young. Let's see!! Lallana - very astute Stewart - think he'll come good despite popular belief!! A great window. Well done Saints!!!

You might be right but why the f*** do people think an announcement has to happen before 12pm...as long as the paperwork is done all is fine. 🤦

Emmanuel Dennis?

Does anyone intelligent actually pay any attention to what he says?!!!

You conveniently forget that professional sports people and in particular footballers have egos...you may judge differences but in the main I bet most players at PL clubs think they deserve as much as the next one. Hwat the club paid for them won't count for squat in their opinion.

That's was addressed by RM today. We can't at the moment as it will damage the wage structure. But he also said it was a choice to do it this way. We will see come May whether this way was good enough. Even if it proves it wasn't it doesn't mean that buying 3 or 4 at 30m+ would of worked either. Ultimately it's the combination that matters.

Hard to score without the ball.

We clearly miss a corner and free kick specialist but I cant see where JWP would fit in. Get a striker and maybe Fraser in (plus this Dutch GK) and that'll do.

Happy with this signing even of not quite the level yet of ORiley but to be honest I hadn't heard of either before this summer😂 So just 3 signings to make - in order of importance GK Striker Winger

Because most football fans thinks this is how it works...first eleven then next eleven, whereas in reality and in good squads (our size club) you need 16-18 players all of whom can be 'first eleven".

One in a lower standard league
