The only raw material Kamaldeen has is pace. Not seen anything else yet to get excited about. Mane, whilst being raw, had speed, skill and could finish - had a couple of excellent seasons in a respectable league before joining. There are light years between the two at the beginning of their saints careers.

All three of Bournemouth goals came from crosses into the box as well.

Even Danny Fox scored.

He’s got a bit of grace until the signings bed in and he gets our best XI on the pitch. If after that it’s still going majorly tits up, he’ll be out. He may as well go for it and entertain, nothing to lose really as we’re going down anyway.

He was fine until we signed him!

In fairness, Nigel had City (champions) away, Arsenal away and Utd at home in his first 4. Unlucky to lose to both Manchester clubs as well.

It has to be Les, Flynn and Fernandes going forward. Anything else and he deserves to go. Could a diamond work maybe? Les Downes Fernandes Tyler / Lallana

Some good revisionism on here. He was given the opportunity to knuckle down and play last season, but he wanted nothing to do with it and got out at the first available chance. He’s not seen as someone who wants to get involved and be part of the team, which was also evident last time we were in the Prem. An inflated sense of his abilities and worth unfortunately, which wasn’t matched by the level of interest shown in him and essentially why he is still here (atm).

Lallana will be in charge by Xmas.

Thirded.

This, got nothing to do with accommodating Stephens FFS.

This line keeps getting trotted out, but it’s a bit pointless when you have zero end product.

Superb.

I wasn’t fussed about Fraser, but fck it it’s nice to see him back.

Horribly depressing? Seriously? Archer has played one season in the Prem FFS, with one of the worst prem teams in history. He scored four goals and his ‘expected goals’ were 5. He got naff all chances in that team.

We were talking about the potential of KWP leaving.

We’re not spending £30m on a player.

He doesn’t need to be at a press conference to know what’s going on.

I don’t do X, but surely a hint from a Blackmore or Alfie House would have happened. We’ll see I guess.

I’d be a little surprised if KWP went now, not seemingly been a sniff of interest in these last few weeks, surely there would have been a link somewhere.

I don’t think it’ll be that crazy. Cornet and hopefully Ramsdale but suspect that’s it for incomings. Imagine we’ll get a fair amount of outgoings, mainly loans.

No-ones writing him off, he wants out and isn’t signing a new contract.

Bit meh, but guess it gives both attacking and LWB cover. Probably negates the need for Fraser and can bin off Manning too.

We still have a loan spot.

It also gives people the chance to have a mini meltdown about it falling through every 5 mins.
