Winter transfer window

Christ. Poor lad.

 

It is quite a blow. He has done well as a stand in when needed. Cirkin is for me the best lb in the league so I dont see a loan happening. We either have to buy one now, ready to replace Cirkin, or rely on a square peg.

 

Bad luck or not - he’s played nowhere near enough games whilst here

Good luck to the lad in his recovery.

 

Who was Reg LB at Lorient

Their current LB is ex City Mendy.

 

Nearly signed for us previously

Aye we couldn’t touch him now after the scandal, even though was cleared.

He can’t be at a level realistically playing second tier after being France international.

 

Do you think we’ll get anyone else in before the Burnley?

 

Kolo Muani.

 

Hjelde will be the cover

 

Think some of the names linked will just be lazy journalism.

club X said they are looking for a striker so any striker deemed surplus to requirement at current club will be linked

 

I wouldn’t be confident if Cirkin got injured and we were relying on Hjelde like

 

There’ always O’Nien

 

I’d prefer him ahead of Hjelde, all day long

 

Sad news for Aji if this is true, gutted for the lad, hope he comes back stronger .

 

League games Alese has featured in since signing

22/23 - 21 from 48 (2 play off games)
23/24 - 8 from 46
24/25 - 12 from 26

 

Bainbridge is back.

 

Brereton Diaz not in the Southampton squad. Don't think he ends up here but always a chance.

 

Totally forgot

He might stay put now rather than another loan.

 

Really bad news for the lads. Has done pretty well lately and always pretty reliable when needed. Good luck to him in his recovery.

 

He played well yesterday, hasn't let the side down at all this season (appreciate he hasn't played many minutes)
