Although history shows that getting a move to Southampton is a good way of ending up at Liverpool if you can cut it in the PL.
I wouldn't dare to try and eat a toffee bar today. It would pull out my fillings and what few teeth I have left. Who remembers having a toffee hammer?
If parents gave things like that to their kids nowadays they would be arrested for child abuse. Me, I loved them.
It won't disappear in a puff of smoke that's silly. It may become flat, acquire a second moon and plentiful supplies of tin foil.
Good summary and I agree we need to sure up our defence esp RB and CB Other than that it would simply be replacing PEH if he goes, happy with Smallbone but would leave us short if he wasn't replaced Scoring isn't an issue its just stopping the opposition where we need to tighten
I was quite surprised by the reports in the Echo this week about how close Leeds were to signing Che Adams. At the time, I had felt that the reports were more about Leeds intensions rather than any serious consideration by Saints. It will be interesting to see if we cash in. My feeling is that he will be line Redmond and we will start to appreciate how good Adams is in his second season. I am still not convinced he will be sold.
Will be interesting to see which young players get chances with the expanded subs rules for the rest of the year.
CB is of course a priority. But that has been the case for the previous two seasons too, and we didn't strengthen then. So I wouldn't be banking on this summer, of all summers, to finally solve that. As for Ntcham, I haven't really seen him play, but I've seen him linked to us, Likewise with Frimpong. Given that we somewhat hold the cards where Celtic are concerned - in that, by all accounts, they want to retain Fraser and Ely - I wouldn't be surprised if something happened on that front.
You're correct on both counts in my opinion. Don't know enough about Zeefuik, but Maehle looked impressive from whatever I've seen. Clear the crap though, that has to be first priority.
Well we've got Ferry, Barnes and Johnson there or thereabouts. Should be good for a place on the bench. There was an article I saw recently about Enzo Robise being ready for his debut but as it was his agent talking I took it with a pinch of salt. I've heard good things about Jankewitz too.
I think we could do with a winger (assuming we sell Boufal). Djenepo is still settling then it’s only really Redmond unless we play JWP and Armstrong out of position.
Wonder if Alex Jankewitz will get a chance soon, have heard really good things about him, even being touted as our replacement if we sell PEH.
Doesn't look like we'll be signing Danso. Very underwhelming. https://www.getfootballnewsgermany....ise-their-e4m-purchase-option-on-kevin-danso/
I seem to remember two or three Championship centre backs that we were tracking. Mepham ended up at Bournemouth but Dael Fry still keeps being mentioned from time to time. Anyone else that might be ready for the step up?
Sounds and looks like Danso won’t be a great loss, but we have to be more ruthless in the acquisition department. With regards Hoj, I suspect he maybe a casualty of the project that Ralph has signed up to. It’s pretty clear that Gao’s pockets aren’t that deep but the trouble is that his arms are very short; consequently we will need to sell in order to buy. I can see why Hoj has been quiet on the subject and with a baby on the way he may look at this as an opportunity to sign a higher value contract if he feels he can get it somewhere. I don’t think he’s good enough for a top 6 club, maybe not even a top 8 club. But maybe a club overseas that is a Champions League regular. There’s part of me that wants him to stay and be part of the project but I think he has had so many misses and very few hits during his time that he may just need to start again somewhere. Ultimately, if he wants to sign on, I’d be ok with that, if he doesn’t, then I don’t think he’ll play a part when and if we restart as it will be time to sell and with less than a year on his contract, he could get injured, etc.
