Yeah like "I want to keep learning in the Premier League, but I am happy to learn with Southampton and help them return next year whilst I learn about English football"
Smallbone won’t being going anywhere unless it’s a Premiership club throwing big wages at him. Just need to keep a careful eye on Bompey
I thought he signed a new contract last summer before his loan Edit; looks like one of those famous reported everywhere but never officially announced jobbie. https://www.hampshirelive.news/spor...allbone-southampton-championship-loan-7367677
Until the manager is announced it is difficult for players to decide their future, why sign a contract only to find the new manager doesn’t have to in his planes. Hopefully things will settle down soon.
Am I alone in quite liking Lyanco ? And thinking he'd be one who could be of real value in the championship? If we get a fee similar to what we paid for him, fine, but otherwise I'm nervous about ripping it *all* up unless we have quality, affordable targets lined up in those positions. Like all our CBs he has a big mistake in him but loved his passion and acceptance to play out of position and get out of his comfort zone. Salisu and ABK are almost certain to go, Bednarek and Stephens will have their admirers too. We just need to be careful.
Yep, think he's great. A big personality like that can completely change the dressing room, and even the mood in the stadium. Will be a big shame to lose him, and only keeping hold of Bednarek and Stephens will make up for it.
I like Lyanco, I'll be sad to see him go. More passion than the rest of the squad put together. I hope we keep him
