    I think he will. He was amazing for us over the Xmas period last season until he got injured. Get him back to full match fitness and we have a hardworking player who desperately wants to be here. What's not to like?

    It’s great to have players who really really want to be here. I wonder why it took so long to sort out his contract at Newcastle. Feels like a couple of wasted months. Might be as simple as collecting the higher wages for that time but that’s not necessarily the case

    May be just that. £100k a week for 10 weeks is £1m. If we are paying £40k, he would only have got £400k. huge gap.

    Hardly unique.

    "Southampton Football Club can confirm that Adam Lallana has completed his transfer to Liverpool.

    The fee received from Liverpool, although undisclosed, will allow the club to further develop the first-team squad for the 2014/2015 season.

    My guess would be we couldn't or wouldn't pay a transfer fee and they were rich enough they were happy to just let him train on his own rather than let him go so at the last minute he's had to cave and take the financial hit.

    And Brooks has seemingly helped us to get Ramsdale.

    Sorry Rothwell. Enjoy Leeds.

    This one, I put faith in the manager and the team. Neither love nor hate this signing but I have faith that he’s been brought in to do what he does. I’m pleased that he is pleased to be here. That’s all that matters.

    What I enjoyed about Fraser, last season, was his positioning when we were working the ball down the right wing.
    The number of times he was getting into goal scoring positions in central positions is something that Edozie or Sulemana don’t do.
    Also his runs between the FB and CB for long balls over the top.
    Looking forward to seeing him do that again.
