Hopeless. Bring back the World Cup.

Key thing is KWP being back. When on form he's one of our best attacking outlets, the wing-back formation could suit him and we're begging for a good attacker at the moment.

Wolves put £35m down on Fabio Silva two years ago before shipping him out on loan to Anderlecht. What's another £40/£50m.

Can't we just make an official public apology, while also stating that our interest in the player is over before signing him five months later? I think Liverpool did it once.

I think Adams is good enough for the build up play for us. It's the poacher/finisher that we're lacking.

The Champions League changes from 2024 as well, no more group stages, but a 36 team league. Some say it's similar to a "super league".

Jay Rodriguez certainly became a completely different forward after his.

We've only had two months to replace Shields. This is the Southampton way.

Here's one that didn't go to plan:

While Brereton has a comparable 40 in 138 for Blackburn.

Great to see Gakpo and Ramos in form during the World Cup. They’ll be full of confidence when they return for Boxing Day.

Seeing Yoshida and Lovren do the coin toss as captains was a reminder of what we used to have. Minamino and Yoshida missing penalties, also a reminder, but more of a current one.

So, they didn't run away with the league again after going unbeaten in their first 9. You'd think their fans would finally learn after going ten years without second tier football.

Meghoma from Spurs joined in the summer too, 16, another one highly rated in the youth system with caps for the England Under 15 and 16s.

Wasn't up for the fight for Bournemouth and massively let them down in their relegation season. Not what we need.

Not quite. They went into January sat in 19th place with 11 points from 19 matches. We're sat in 19th place with 12 points from 15 matches and have six more points available before January, which could take us several places higher if all results were to go our way as we're only 2 points adrift at the moment. The difference being they could offer a significant financial incentive were they to continue their poor form, while we've only got Premier League football to entice players and at the moment that position is looking precarious, but not fatal.

Do we know if Wales were told you only get three group fixtures in the World Cup and they needed to win tonight?

FFS, we'll probably have to close block 1 and 2 because of those events. Awaiting the long email regarding how our hooliganism has influenced the innocents of Goztepe.

Jones has converted to satanism and summoned the devil to play upfront for us.

Regularly hit double figures for Arsenal and that was often from that wide position. 18 goals in 67 Champions League appearances, which is perceived to be the highest level. 21 in 43 in 2012-13 and 19 in 37 in 2016-17. Finishing might have been his weakness, but if he was any good now, his finishing would have been a huge improvement on anything we currently have and would have been a good addition to Ings.

This goalkeeper’s been paid off, but strangely he plays for Qatar.

So, that want corrupt at all.

I always remember his two goals against Dagenham and Redbridge as standouts:

I've previously been on board with the narrative of re-signing players I've once enjoyed in a Saints shirt. I was excited when Walcott re-signed, thinking he'd bring something different to our team and that he was a natural finisher with experience, even if his pace had started to wane. How wrong I was, he's turned out to be a huge waste of wages and a squad place, which we can't replace until his contract expires. He's become the 2022 unsellable and has declined far below the current level we're playing at. This also made me hesitant when the Bale rumours started in the summer, and again, some were on board with it, but most know club football isn't for him anymore and he's started just twice in 17 matches in the MLS this season. Would've been another costly mistake. Oxlade-Chamberlain is now, also very similar to Walcott and Bale. A crock who spends more time with the physio than he does on the pitch and will be asking for a high wage, as he also made it to the top clubs. All of these players are on the decline and they're declining to a level below us. We have good memories of what they were, but possibly like Rooney did, they've now burnt out to a lower level because they went straight into the first team when they were young because they were once that good. Plus, Oxlade-Chamberlain isn't even the winger we had, like Maitland-Niles he has some weird complex about being a central midfielder, rather than his best position where most managers played him. So, I'd avoid him.
