Pretty much how I saw it. You could see he’s not quite top level - absolutely no shame in that (and might mean we get to keep him).

You must have seen a lot of him as a player, what are his weak points?

‘On the brink of swooping’?! Interesting terminology. His agent must be fcking incredible.

The first new deal we gave him after he came back from injury made sense, as he looked decent on his return. The one we gave him a year later made no sense at all.

Seriously?

Just seems a bit strange that we’d sign him and then loan him out. Spending a year on loan at a random French team isnt going to turn him in to Lev Yashin.

This just doesn’t make any sense?

You can tell it’s half term.

9.30 French time… Though the way it’s going it may be 9.30 UK time.

I can’t see them being his picks, for that reason.

Wonder if we’ll see someone like Carl Martin promoted? Seems to have done a very good job with the youth.

I don’t think he’s done a terrible job all things told. There’s only so much polishing of a turd you can do… and Forster seemed to improve.

Can I ask what this is based on? Not being argumentative, just interested as all I know about him is he’s more of a video analyst?

Positive news, hopefully the start of a shake up across staff and players. Mail article hints at playing squad investment too. Definitely seems like last chance saloon for Ralph, absolutely zero excuses left now for him to get this right.

The guy has 850 followers.. and also if he is a free agent, why would he be joining on loan for a year? Or is that saying we will loan him out for the season? Smells fishy to me.

No.

Spurs just announced a £150m cash injection… now I’m slightly more concerned about JWP.

Think it was 2002 and finished 1-1. Early 90’s would have been the Dell Steve 😉

Todorov was a beast!

I assumed question 1 is Man Utd, played them every prem year and drew them in the FA Cup at least 3 times

All those “imagine Southamptons team if they didn’t sell all their players” graphics/memes… maybe we’re slowly trying to make it a reality. We’ll have Van Dijk back in 2026.

He may as well have posted that in March tbf.

Well said that man.

I think football fans in general struggle with the concept that a goal can go in at the near post and it NOT be the goalies fault.
