    Seems silly letting him go for free. But I certainly wouldn’t consider a new deal, unless it’s ridiculously cheap. He’d be a real asset in the championship if we go down.

    I like the cut of his jib! Likes to beat his first man, then get the ball under control before quickly releasing to someone further forward. Let's just hope he has people further forward to release to!!

    when he was up in Scotland, I don’t think anyone said
    “I know what this team needs!”
    If he left in January, I would fail to name him in a quiz by the summer

    For me, Ely is a grafter who uses hard work to cover for the lack of end product. For the minutes he plays, I'd back the scouts to find an upgrade if they havent already.

    If Diallo is the replacement then we might have reason to moan. I'd wager Alcaraz will quickly fill any Moi shaped holes in time because he delivers so little. I feel like Moi got the minutes because Ralph needed a player, he was already here when we had no money to replace him. Different times now...

    In a nutshell, B+ for attitude, C- for technical ability

    So today is the day that people stop thinking they're the first to say "Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long" and move on to thinking they're the first to hilariously say that Carlos Alcaraz is a tennis player. Can't wait.

    He looks like a happy lad.
    Hope we don’t wipe that smile off his face too soon.

    Southampton manager Nathan Jones said: “Charly’s arrival is another major addition for us. There has been a lot of interest around Europe, so it’s great to get him in and also to have done it quite early in the month.

    “He will give us a really exciting option and add a bit more creativity into the side, which is something that will be a real benefit to us.

    “I know how determined he is to get started and to help us, so we’re looking forward to getting to work with him and we’ll also make sure he has all the support needed to get settled in here.”

    Thank ****.
