is this just a random throw away suggestion or rumour ?

I don’t remember that. I remember the candy stripes team photo with the FA Cup sat in front of them 😁

Isn’t he supposed to be on holiday, there was talk of cutting that short but maybe it didn’t materialise? Dont want this to rumble on, just want him gone

I was talking about Sunderland as per the link, not Leeds

To stand any chance they have to spend huge, they are us 12 months on basically.

Well, we HAD to do it admittedly when we were in the mire financially but if you go back to Guy Askham's time we were regularly done over and I'm not convinced we got the best deals we could when Chairman Gao kept his money in his pocket.

Well to be fair the club did that last time we were relegated so I'm pretty confident of it happening again. I think the days of Southampton rolling over to be tickled on the tummy by a big club are over, at least for now.

I do wonder if the bonus of getting nearly £25 million for Tall Paul and Kamaldeen means there is a feint hope we can keep someone who looked nailed on to leave. Fernandes would be the ideal pick but Dibling or THB even the more likely?

Until he’s shown holding up their shirt I can’t let myself believe it for fear of being majorly disappointed!

Nathan Redmond - arrogant looking little twerp, blamed everyone including the tea lady when a pass went astray. Jack Stephens David Speedie Mark Hughes Olivier Bernard Danny Fox Lee Todd Stewart Ripley

The one player I’m genuinely sorry to see go. We got great service out of him and I wish him well wherever he goes.

Charlton home.

well he wont, hence Alfie House's tweet presumably

Armstrong is one of the players Russell Martin 100% got the best out of. He's not all that through the middle as his loan at WBA proved last season. Martin played him in his best position, even though I seem to recall RM saying Armstrong didnt agree.

Didn't he kind oif allude to that in an interview when he came back last summer?

It looks a lot better in that video than in some of those "leaked" photos that have shown up of late.

The Stephens No. 5 has put me off whatever it looks like 😂

For me Ekelund and Antonio

Yes, Smallbone is a much better squad option in the Championship than he was in the Premier League. But no more than as cover please. As for Aribo, hell yeah, he could barely move in RM's walking football, if Still favours high press he'd be blowing out his arse after 15 mins.

If Kamaldeen's move is "one step away" dont get too carried away, if he sense of direction is anything like his sense on a football pitch he'll catch the wrong plane and end up in The Phillipines !

Maybe but his decision making is abysmal, I have no doubt he can beat a man, he has the pace but absolutely no clue what to do when he gets into good positions. I’m not holding my breath on that changing tbh

What the hell do they all see in him? He has no football brain whatsoever. All fart no shit !

As much as I like Tall Paul - its a low bar given the shit show of strikers we've got - you are right, high energy isnt his game. His style is very much Wimbledon of the past, and indeed a certain Mr Jones, where the ball is lumped up for the big striker in the penalty area. I think he would score goals in the Championship, alas not in the style or formation we are expecting to play.

Indeed. It's the ones who wont admit to making mistakes you have to worry about, look at Sheff Weds for instance.

its not even 10.30 yet ! Not every announcement has to be at 9.00......................lets see what the day brings 🙂
