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 🙂

Post above beat me to it 😂 A little bit cocky indeed 😂

Jack Cork a year or so after he left us at Royal Ascot. A few years later Alan Pardew stood right in front of me watching the Royal parade again at Ascot.

One of the few good things about SR is that they haven’t rolled over for the big boys, or anyone, when it comes to letting players go. If a club meets the valuation then fair enough, said player will go, but if they fall well short last time out it was met with a firm no. I don’t expect that to change.

Do you still bother? Haven’t you suffered enough the past 10 months? 🤣

I fear that Brentford will sink like a stone if he goes plus losing Mbuemo and others. Pity but they’ve obviously pissed off the bigger clubs so it’s their turn, we’ve been down that road 😏

Big wage earner, very average player, may well be more of an asset in the Championship as shown before but painfully slow and I'm not sure that fits the WS way so hopefully he'll be gone.

Umm, we'll see. In pretty much the same way the players defaulted to Russball last season after he'd left cos it was so ingrained in them I find it very hard to believe the master will be able to change, even if thats his intention. Words are easy 2 months away from their first match.

As some have suggested the interviews when they lose a game will be interesting. Much more media spotlight than little old Southampton. If he got chippy at that nice mild mannered Adam Blackmore he's gonna be epic value when he comes up against Glaswegian fans and journalists !
