That’ll be Speedie and Dixon !! Im not sure if Monkou didn’t come as a result of the Shearer money. He was the only decent player Branfoot bought anyway.

I’d be keeping my money in my pocket thanks. If true, and it’s a big IF, being in The Sun it’s a little bit double standards by Matt who has been spouting in interviews about respecting everyone’s opinion & the way they want to live their life even if he doesn’t agree with it etc etc.

3 have gone and soon to be number 5 has come in.

Surely Ake is not the Rudiger replacement? That’s like replacing VVD with Bednarek!

I know the feeling 😂

This might be quite interesting because if Broja wants to be playing regularly, wants to be the main striker at a club then if we do want him we must jump to the top of the list. He’s not getting guarantees at Newcastle or West Ham although I guess he could at Frank Lampard’s Everton. If he’s just chasing a big pay packet then we have no chance.

Absolutely, the main reason people view last season as bad is because the last third of the season we didn’t simply hit a bad run of form, we were horrendous and it looked for all the world like the players had just given up and didn’t care. Add to that the change of style of play after the Chelsea hammering to something….well it wasn’t safer cos we still let in a load of goals. There we’re pretty big alarm bells being sounded, and it’s no wonder the optimism levels for the new season are reserved at best.

He really doesn’t.

I think Aribo is more of the attacking player you speak of rather than a JWP/Lavia/Romeu/Diallo role.

If he’s better than Djenepo, Redmond and Walcott he’ll do for me.

That’s been all over Twitter since yesterday if you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about !

What the system where we abandoned the pressing game, conceded shed loads of goals and had one forward so isolated he was virtually in a different post code to the rest of the team? Could be !

If Armstrong is so highly rated then picking Long in front of him as Ralph did at the end of last season is a bloody strange way of showing it. But that’s Ralph for ya !

Yes he made over 25 appearances for them

Bloody hell i had forgotten that complete waste of space. I think I saw him on the pitch once in a pre season friendly. He seemed to hang around for a long time but that could just be my imagination playing tricks.

Yeah thanks for nothing Brentford ! Took a chance on him when nobody else would and get repaid by him hot footing it to United. Charming

I actually like that, it sounded horrendous from descriptions but yeah it’s pretty smart

Isn’t £50m the buy back for Tino?

The word “only” being huge here. Happy with the signings so far but we have to get attacking midfield and especially a couple of strikers just right. I really can’t cope with another season of watching Redmond tit around.

LOL Jim Branning ! Still one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen at St Mary's

Always easy to tell what kind of person someone is by the way the club announce their departure. Safe to say Shane was viewed in very high regard.

Sorry but this made me laugh - Carl Martin, who led Saints Under-18s to the Premier League South title last season, moves up to support the senior side, with particular focus on work in possession of the ball. 🤣🤣

Hopefully cos he’s going

I guess Man City are our new Chelsea then?

I have no problem with signing these young players for £10-15 million (or less in Tino’s case) but I really think we need a couple of players with sound Premier League experience. Or are we sticking with the old guard of Redmond, Long, Stephens etc to provide that? God help us if we are.
