qwertyell Posted 28 June, 2019 Share Posted 28 June, 2019 Are we back for pre season training next week? Looks like we'll only have one new signing (who won't even be there for another month) by then. It's not exactly panic stations yet, and not uncommon for us to drag out the transfer window, but I thought the manager was extremely keen to have his new squad settled early doors so he could integrate everyone into the regime asap. Still - at least - a striker, CB and RB shy of the bare minimum business we need to do. Although Hasenhuttl said he wanted five in that recent interview - which position the fifth target fills is anyone's guess.

100%Red&White Posted 28 June, 2019 Share Posted 28 June, 2019 I believe players start drifting back in next week, also contracts start/finish July 1st so maybe a bit more movement in the transfer market from next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk Officially you cannot sign anyone before 1st of July anyway, and I would imagine most players that have ‘signed’ elsewhere would have had something negotiated to ensure they recieve their loyalty bonuses. I’m not panicking yet, its pretty obvious to me that we have far too much deadwood floating around that we need to remove before we can have a concrete view of what our finances will allow I’m hoping a week or so into July should see some decent movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGalpin Posted 29 June, 2019 Share Posted 29 June, 2019 The Southampton squad is being comprehensively re-worked by manager Ralph Hassenhuttl and the director of football operations, Ross Wilson. There are expected to be moves away from Southampton for another homegrown player, striker Sam Gallagher, 23, and the experienced centre-forward Charlie Austin in whom there is considerable interest. Southampton are looking at potential moves for Mario Lemina, Wesley Hoedt, Fraser Forster, Alex McCarthy and Cedric Soares. Their next priority will be signing a centre-back. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/06/29/southampton-continue-squad-overhaul-15m-arrival-che-adams-17m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shropshire Saint Posted 29 June, 2019 Share Posted 29 June, 2019 No one has mentioned Mo Elyoumossi as being on the exit list.

But as he probably commands the highest fee of anyone in our squad, and is among the most likely to find buyers around Europe, I guess it makes economic sense if there's no money in the kitty. £25m for Lemina + £14m for Targett + £15m for the assorted rabble probably keeps us net neutral again.

saint1977 Posted 29 June, 2019 Share Posted 29 June, 2019 DT article encouraging - good that looking to sell Lemina. Talented for sure but not available enough for a higher earner but might be for a club on the continent so a move suits both parties. No surprise that looking to move on one or both keepers either. I like McCarthy but the club are spending way too much on keepers’ wages. Adams I like the look of and good deal for all parties on Targett.

Dusic Posted 29 June, 2019 Share Posted 29 June, 2019 Lemina one of the few who we could make a profit on, I'm sure. Would be happy if he stayed but equally he wasnt available for most of the RH reign so far and is at the most sellable stage of his contract, which he is likely to want to extend. Shame we didnt have Lemina during the RK era where we were a good side. All the others make sense. If we raise some cash then surely the priorities are: CB - with mobility and good on the ball RB - ability to play both sides preferred Central Mid - depending on sales and if RH has identified a good option. Would be a bonus signing. Mooy not the answer, we need a more defensive option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
