Salisu (apparently) played 68 league games for us in the three years he was with Saints; he's played 39 for Monaco in the three seasons since. Doesn't really feel like he's kicked on ... barely even kicked off.

Charlie Austin said that? It *must* be true.

Yeah, £3 million for Larin feels like we've been absolutely mugged off 🤦🏼‍♂️

Tonda was asked if he had any doubts about playing THB given the transfer speculation, and he just said “no”.

SaintsExtra seem to post anything and everything about Saints, no matter where it's come from. It's always worth looking at the original source to see whether it's likely to be true or, more likely, complete and utter garbage.

If he doesn't want to come to little old Southampton, we can do better IMHO.

Take putdowns and condescension out of this forum and there won't be much left.

Yeah. Of course, we could just stop paying them so much attention. Just a thought.

Can I recommend this week's Total Saints pod, where the Watford podcast guy gave a great rundown of where they are.

Don't wish to carp, but let's not turn this thread into a pun-fest.

Shea Charles played 61 games over 3 years; and wasn't his injury against Blackburn essentially caused by him being overplayed?

You're surprised that someone called hypochondriac is downbeat and negative?

Swap the colours for light and dark blue, and it'd make a decent away kit.

Not sure you can so easily separate finances and sport; as if Chelsea weren't in some way looking to achieve and sporting advantage through financial means.

Do you want to tell FIFA that?

It's a specific EFL rule; the FA rules haven't changed since Bielsa admitted spying on a much larger scale.

People keep going back to this FIFA ban for 12 months, but banning an international manager for 12 months is very different from that length of ban for a club manager, who is going to miss way more games in that time.

Koeman's currently free ...

Bizarre. Guess someone's pressed 'publish' a bit early, but there's clearly some news in the offing.

No, they just say they've acknowledged the charges laid against Tonda, but I can't find anything about it anywhere else.

We had high hopes for Bazunu when he signed, and we know how that's gone.

Probably reckoning he can get a decent payday without Russ hanging around for long.

Best see a doctor about that, you can get treatment for that kind of thing.

Surely they're waiting for a photo of Kane holding the world cup aloft, having signed him as Ross Stewart's replacement?
