What like Haaland at Man City ?

Anyone who actually thought about this properly would have realised this season is a rebuild and if we get into the playoffs that’s great. Next season will be the big push for top two. The clue came last week when someone, possibly Wilcox said we need to build and get promotion in such a way that we are ready for the Premier League.

Mate, have you ever watched Sky Sports News during the last few days of the transfer window? That’s when things start happening big time, and it’s not just Southampton, this is how it works. Post this on 2 September if it’s still relevant, then we can all have a meltdown, but until then just let’s see how the next couple of weeks play out. RM did warn us that the team that played Sheff Weds 2 weeks ago will be very different to the team he picks in September.

The timing is extremely unfortunate I’ll give you that. But as this isn’t part of the JWP deal if he didn’t want to come here saying no thanks to the move is easier and simpler than a fabricated story about food poisoning.

I don’t suppose he’s too happy either !

I maintain playing behind our defence last season is enough to destroy any keepers confidence, not least a 20 year old one.

I suspect they’ve put two and two together cos he was pissed off at being subbed on Sunday. However if it was/is true…..oh my 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know about downing tools, he only seemed to pick the bloody things up for a meaningless game against an almost non existent or interested Liverpool defence. Im not sure how we’d miss him tbh.

Thats unbelievable

It’s bloody hilarious how they’ve screwed this up on top of Caicedo turning them down after old Klippity more or less announced his arrival in his press conference last week 🤣

I think Adam Blackmore nailed it 100% with his comments on Saturday.

This just gets better and better. So if this is true Liverpool have had to pay an extra £10 million to Southampton all because they were titting around and trying to play the big boys by only offering up to £45 million ! 🤣

Aah yes there’s that too

I thought the same reading this thread tbh. Apart from the opening, called by musicians an “intro” I believe 😉, the whole thing was upbeat. The idea of it getting faster at the half way line has been replaced so get behind the band playing OUR song ffs !!!

If Wilcox/Martin think they can get better for a similar/reasonable fee?

I assume she’s abandoned us for Arsenal when home games clash given she works for them as well.

The EFL highlights on ITV were, umm, interesting ! An 8 goal thriller doesn’t get top billing cos some American footballer taking over Birmingham is apparently more interesting to probably absolutely nobody who doesn’t support Birmingham. Then we get a diabolical Scottish commentator who, presumably cos they are Scottish bangs on about Armstrong and Adams whilst making comments like “he’s almost taken the net off it’s hinges” 🤦🏻

If we are only going to get £10 million for Adams I would be inclined to keep him and risk him going for nothing next summer. Does the Downes transfer mean we arent interested in Grimes from Swansea as well ?

That’s ok then, when they regularly fuck up by being unable to defend the basics we can console ourselves safe in the knowledge that they care !

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that, the most entertaining game I’ve seen at St. Mary’s for years. It took me back to the old days. Still need two decent centre backs, despite so many people getting excited cos Stephens is captain truth is he’s still a bloody liability however I do wonder how much not having a keeper they trust behind them contributes to defensive issues?

Dare I criticise the Golden One but his corners were often poor and his penalties were very much 50/50, you never had the Le Tiss or Lambert (even Peach for those of us old enough) confidence that they were hitting the back of the net.

Lavia wants to go to Liverpool Chelsea have met Saints asking price Liverpool have not met Saints asking price Liverpool need to shit or get off the pot.

He wont but if I was Lavia I would say to Southampton dont bother accepting any Liverpool offer cos I'm not going there !! They've fucked him over big time.

Wasnt there a suggestion that ideally he didnt want to go to Liverpool but was hoping City would come back in for him ? If that is true i dont think he'll be too upset, he knows there will be other options and he'll be gone by 1 September.

You know its funny but i did wonder that, whether they've thought "we cant bugger around waiting much longer"
