Are we ever going to get rid of him? Or Carillo, Boufal and a goalkeeper?

http://www.hesgoal.com/news/68078/Southampton_vs_Tottenham.html Always works for me. Press on the game, first time round you get adverts, close that link, press on the game again and you get the match.

French football website Foot Mercato reporting that we are willing to let Boufal go for 4 million.

Slattery moved to De Graafschap due to the connections of our scout Piet Buter with Mike Snoei. Snoei and Buter worked together at Telstar, thats when they loaned Seagar from us. After a successful year at Telstar, Snoei moved to De Graafschap and Buter also left Telstar ( he was their technical director).

Dutch football website VI reporting that Saints, along with a dozen Italian, German and Turkish clubs are interested in signing Dutch RB/wing back Rick Karsdorp from AS Roma. Karsdorp (25) spent last season on loan at Feyenoord. However due to the Corona virus and injuries he played just 20 games. Imo Karsdorp won’t be a good signing. Yes he works hard and has the talent, however he is injury prone and with the PL being tougher then the Serie A, it might just be to fast and physical.

AZ could afford Hoedt, however I believe that 8 million euro would make him AZ’s most expensive buy. (their current most expensive buy is Graziano Pelle in 2008 for 6 million).

Met George Burley once when he was sober, fact.

Ajax could match his wages or even offer him more. Daley Blind is on 5 million a year and Ziyech wouldn’t have been far of that. Problem for Ajax is that except the games against Feyenoord, PSV and AZ, the competition is poor and not very challenging.

If I remember rightly we tried to sign Steed Malbranque in the summer of 2004. Shame we missed out, always rated him.

McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Ward-prowse, Armstrong, Romeu, Redmond, Long and Ings starting in a 4-4-2 line up. According to LiveScore

Can we also keep hold of Ward-Prowse? The guy has improved massively since Ralph has arrived and being English, he could be interesting for some clubs.

This article is poorly translated/quoted. The link they use in this article, referring to an interview with Belgium newspaper Nieuwsblad, Hoedt simply says that Antwerp won’t pay our asking price. He says nothing about a dream move to Antwerp.

Interview with Hoedt (in Dutch) about the fact he is training with AZ Alkmaar to keep fit and his time with Royal Antwerp. In the final sentence he says he doesn’t want to be loaned again and wants a permanent move this summer. https://m.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=371963

So we apparently declined a offer for 19 million, but now would listen to offers of around 10 million. https://www.google.nl/amp/s/www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/che-adams-available-knockdown-transfer-18248918.amp

Saints miss out on Willem II youngster Joel Ideho Dutch media report. 16 year old Ideho decides to join Ajax over Saints and German side Hertha.

They should have gone down Shirley High Street to one of the many betting shops.

I often flew with Flybe from the Netherlands to Southampton. On my last visit it took me 4,5 hours from leaving a relatives home in Shirley to arriving back home in the south east of the Netherlands. If I was to drive to Southampton it would take me around 7,5 hours or I would have to fly from Amsterdam to Gatwick. Flybe was by far the cheapest and quickest option. Feel especially for the employees from Flybe and the smaller airports they served. The flights were often delayed, however the staff were always friendly and helpful.

Slattery has been a second half substitute in all the games he has played since arriving at De Graafschap. In the Dutch Eerste Divisie clubs like Cambuur, Graafschap and this season Volendam are performing well, but I would still rank them botten half league 1 level. Clubs like Dordrecht, Oss and Helmond Sport wouldn’t be anything special in League 2.

Good old Wesley has done a interview with Het Nieuwsblad. https://m.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=368231 He goes on about the Belgium league, how he wants to play for Holland and RH. He says RH told him he would get another chance, Hoedt replies with: I never got real first chance. Then he says he won’t tell the full story as that would be damaging for RH and he won’t say anything negative about Saints as he is still under contract with us. The interview in a nutshell.

Highlights of the Graafschap V Roda JC game with Slattery’s goal and miss in the link below.

Highly unlikely but German newspapers Bild and Weser kurier report we, along with Liverpool, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are interested in €38 million euro Werder Bremen winger Milot Rashica. https://m.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=368045 (Link in Dutch)

Slattery came on as a second half sub for De Graafschap and scored the 2-0 against Roda JC Kerkrade.

Is the squad going abroad for a some training in the sunshine?

Suarez. Biting, spitting, racial abuse, diving, moaning, did I miss something?

I won’t be surprised if some refs get a bonus when Liverpool win the league.
