He’s in a lose-lose situation. I would think most from last season don’t want to be here. The sooner we are rid, the better. And that includes JWP.

Leeds 7/2 for the win now. Worth a punt.

The Burnley fans have a very high opinion of themselves, suggesting they would beat us on last night’s showing. I think a lot are cloaking their view of us with a touch of arrogance and envy. I personally think they’ll be torn apart in the Prem. https://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70994&start=50 I think we were fantastic last night. It was only the lack of finishing that stopped it being a drubbing. I don’t know if that’s solved by playing Che from the start or bringing someone new in. We will punish a lot of teams as the players become more accustomed with the style and they buy into further. Starting off the season with a win was vitally important. Could some of the players linked with moves away be swayed by how well we played last night? We shall see. I was very encouraged by the newfound zip in our play in the games against Goztepe and AZ, and it was great to see us take it up a notch in a league game.

Don Goodman would love nothing more than an equaliser. He’ll never change .

Would love to know what happens in the Saints dressing room at half time. Same old story - play well first half, throw it away in the second.

Absolutely fabulous signing.

I have a horrible feeling Dyche’s going to turn them into next season’s surprise package.

Good deal. We have to trust RM, Wilcox and Co going forward. I think we can. From what I’ve heard, Wilcox means business.

A post on the Burnley forum: “Pace's daughter has been contacting people on social media asking them to post '#freetella' content as part of a campaign to, in her words, "persuade Southampton to loosen their grip of him“ Absolutely hilarious.

He’ll be in the team of the season.

He wanted to go, no?

I lauded the new zip about our play after the Goztepe match but was laughed away.

With a Twitter handle called PlayztStyle, it’s safe to assume this isn’t true.

Would love to see the Saintsforever forum back in 2005/06 when we signed the likes of Darren Potter and Richard Chaplow…

I don’t think we can afford of season of adjustment. We need to come up next season and RM will no doubt have been told this is a prerequisite by SR.

Promising signs but again shows why we shouldn’t be so precious over players we had here last season leaving. No one is indispensable or even has a divine right to be a PL player, IMO.

I’ve heard he’s gone to Turkey to return a better player, like Redmond.

Unfortunately the back line of a relegated team are going to be the hardest to shift.

For us, silly!

Putting it out there now - he’ll be in the Championship team of the season.

May I ask why people are upset about Sulemana going? For me, he’s among the players we wasted a colossal amount of cash on last season. The game against Liverpool was as dead rubber as they come, I’m sorry to say. Alcaraz and Lavia were the only good signings last season and would expect both to go before the window ends.

To be honest, I don’t care who we lose in this transfer window. We need a total refresh both on the pitch and in mindset. You’ve just got to trust the process.
