Put in bold players who may have gone but haven't for varying reasons. Have I missed any?

Looking at that squad its clear that"

- We can easily lose one of Tino or KWP and not need to replace

- Perraud can go

- Central midfield needs new additions when JWP and Lavia go

- If we can keep Kamaldeen and Tella then wide options are good but could probably use another one there

- Striker a huge issue if Adams goes

Yeah, I'd also suggest selling 2 CBs which seems likely too and signing 1 top ball playing CB too.

Is Maghoma a left or right back?

Is ABK injured still? Where is Stu?

You need to check out how selfies work when you turn camera around - you'll spot some curly hair next to him  which is my son's so I edited it as I didnt want you  letching after him - check out the image on the other thread with JWP and Tella in the queue - same tshirt with his jumper off

You really are a very unpleasant individual with a warped mind.

Dragan stopping by to see what the fuck all his money has been spent on.

Probably thinking Rasmus and Henrik can't even organise a pre season friendly let alone something which resembles a team.

Goztepe have a real chance to cement their place at the head of Sports Republic's empire today. Or as we like to call it "the Southampton Way".

And, no, my optimism hasn't come back after last season yet.

Is it being streamed on the website again ?

Of course he likes Smallbone and Stephens, they didn't cost him millions in wasted investments.

i’m looking forward to this game. I’m hoping to see us build on the style of football and try some fluidity in our attacks. 

Additionally, I hope we show signs of a plan B. With Burnley last season many of their goals also came from balls over the top for Tella to run onto. For games like Benfica where we found it hard to break them down, this would be a decent option.

Quite disappointing to see some of the names still here, and those we might be relying on.

GK, CB, ST, really in need of sorting.

Fair play to Dragan, genuine happiness there despite the dour relegation, let's hope that Ankersen and Kraft's decisions provide a return on his substantial investment this season.

Love the look of the kit.

I see the playbook on how to defend set plays and corners has made its way to the B team. Every single player stood on the floor. Two defenders ball watching and the player responsible for marking the attacker not even looking at the ball. Extra bonus points for the keeper failing to command his area.

Thought that was a super-lifto rugby line out for a moment.

B Team teams from their 3 - 1 defeat at Oxford.

Saints first half: Mohamed, Squires (Abu), Lancashire, Simeu, Lett, Bragg, Dibling, Iwumene, Pearce, Andrews, Small.

Saints second half: McNamara, Abu, Hewlett, Simeu (Bailey), Carson, Bragg (Squires), Miles, Finnigan, Edwards, Ehibhatiomhan, Robinson

Stand outs for me is Diamond Edwards is back, and Small was played further up the pitch.

You can see and hear some of Dragan's interactions at the end of the video.

Asks Alcaraz about his English, welcomes Stephens back and introduces himself to Charles.

Could all just be PR, but it has endeared myself towards him.
