Adams unlucky (I've written that before!). KWP Should have shot instead of trying to play Ings in.

Awful deal for me. Has played barely any first team football, only in the championship, and even there has worse goals+assists per game stats the Che Adams, McBurnie, Maupay ect. And he goes for £23.5m with a massive sell on clause and a buy back option?! Liverpool have robbed them blind, it's Ibe/Solanke style deals all over again, who ever is in chance of selling needs a raise fast.

Agreed, Liverpool have robbed them blind here. Sheffield must be super desperate.

JWP and Ings both in the squad again for the next international break.

England play Wales in a friendly on 8 October, before Nations League fixtures against Belgium and Denmark on 11 and 14 October respectively, with all three games being played at Wembley Stadium.

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley), Dean Henderson (Manchester United)

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Conor Coady (Wolves), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Michael Keane (Everton), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (Arsenal), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Midfielders: Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Kalvin Phillips (Leeds), Declan Rice (West Ham), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton), Harry Winks (Tottenham)

Forwards: Tammy Abraham (Chelsea), Harvey Barnes (Leicester), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Danny Ings (Southampton), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)

Genuinely could not care less how we played tonight, a win away at Burnley is always a great result for any side, particularly after the game last week. 

We all seem to be overlooking the fact that this link to Davies is coming from Alex Crook, who takes a dump and then picks through it to see which bits are worth posting on Twitter.

Will be watching this one between my fingers I think.

Good signing. 

 

£20m for a player Lyon fans really don't rate. Not sure Villa have learned their lessons from last summer.

Lost 4-0 to Brighton's second string team tonight.

Spurs seem to have lost the plot if Bale is the answer . £300k / week if Real pay half his "wages" , injury prone and over 30 plus a manager happy to blame the players when they lose .

It's an absolutely typical Mourinho signing. Big name player from a big club, over the hill, huge wages. However, this could potentially work out for them if he's managed correctly. Bale is a big game player and that's where Spurs have struggled over the last 3-4 years.

It will still be crazy money though for a player that will play 15 games a season.

London's golf courses will be glad to have him though!

Was the Bednarek substitution on Saturday tactical? Or did he pick up an injury in the first half?

I still think we are way to reliant on Ings getting goals. Long and obafemi aren’t good enough and the jury is out on Adams.

Seen today that Origi is being chased by a number of the teams we’ll be competing with come the end of the season (villa, Newcastle, Fulham, Brighton).

doubt he’d be cheap (within our budget) but would love us to make a move for him. I think him and ings would give us a real threat up top. 
 

 

Wouldn't be terrible but we're not going to sign another striker this window.

RLC was awful last night, not keen on him based on that showing but we know he has potential. I'm not sure he would do too well in a high-energy defensive/box-to-box role we would want him for though.

Still 3 weeks left of the window, plenty of time for at least a couple of "will he, won't he" transfer sagas!

Strange game, not sure anybody is playing badly but we're very narrow, Redmond and Smallbone barely involved. I worry without changes that Palace will just full-on defend and we'll be stuck passing it between our defence. 

Ralph to shake things up at HT, I'd like to see Djenepo on relatively soon too. We need to keep it on the floor more, faster passing and get it to Ings at his feet much more.

Awful article, makes me appreciate The Athletic even more! Reads like it was written by Mr. Factless.

Choudhury isn't very good. Would rather have kept Reed and I'd imagine he would cost a lot more than £8m.

My father-in-law (Leicester fan) rates him about as highly as Demarai Gray - i.e. moans a lot when he's on the pitch.

Looking forward to JWP v Zaha part 3!

0-4 win and Palace down to 10 men.

It doesn't seem to be a crazy deal by Everton, just under £20m guaranteed fee. Just a 2 year deal, option of a third they can take if they want.

He's prob on a decent chunk, but it's a 2 year gamble and they've only paid £20m for him. Gamble worth taking IMO for a player of his undoubted talent and standing in world football. Can't wait to see him in the PL, big fan.

£130k/week apparently. I agree with Shroppie, I reckon he'll be a disappointment either on the pitch or constantly injured. I'm surprised they didn't get him on a loan with an option to buy.

Another England game where Kane offers nothing unless it's put on a plate for him or someone wins a penalty.

Not sure if it's the England system or he just doesn't offer much but I can't remember him doing anything for England since that World Cup group game when he got an easy hat trick.

Bizarre there's no VAR, perfectly good goal ruled out.

Not sure JWP has touched it so far? He could do with a little more assertive, seems to be avoiding the ball so far! But only 7 minutes in.

JWP starts with #8 shirt, alongside (most likely) Rice in a 4-2-3-1 or as a more forward midfielder alongside Foden in a 4-3-3.

Ings #21 on the bench.

Like greased lightning today!

Saw a couple of articles yesterday, although unable to post the links at the time as ceess to the forum not available (and now unable to find them!):

Eintracht Franfurt have turned down a £20m bid suggested from us for Hinterigger

Orel Mangala - his club now want c £20m for him and linked elsewhere.

Pretty sure it was Fulham that are after Hinteregger, I can't see us buying another CB unless Vesty is off.

Aww man... don't let this be the end. 

I started out on Saintslist via Yahoo then SaintsForever and then signed up to Saintsweb when that change happened. 

I might actually have to do some work if this place dies out and that isn't good folks. Not good at all. 

#PrayForSaintsWeb 

Just had a quick look the Ugly board and its a bit all over the place. The reddit suggestion could work I guess although that's not dedicated just for us. I don't like the multi-team board format. Its great having ONE forum that is ours. Sad times. 

reddit.com/r/saintsfc is the Southampton subreddit. /r/soccer is the general football one.

Southampton v Tottenham live on BT Sport

They're also now playing away in Bulgaria on the Thursday before our game on Sunday.

Koopmeiners would be very nice but I think it's a rumour started by Saints fans that is now being picked up and regurgitated by the questionable source mentioned above.
