    Aston Villa have just matched our biggest ever transfer fee on a Championship striker. One of those laugh or cry instances.

    It's a shake the head moment, he's cost more than Alan shearer in his prime! Ridiculous!

    My (distant) memory of him was that he was excellent and very unlucky to be dropped for that Belgian bloke.

    He's from the academy so he isn't good enough. Targett is only good enough for backup and will be out when Bertrand gets back and JWP will be sold this season because he isn't good enough either.

    To be honest "The Southampton Way" is just the buzzline and means nothing anymore as the club contradicts what they say it is in it's entirety.

    The statements of "we play the same from youth through to the first team" are just words and being shown to be so.
    The "pathway" is not there unless you want to call getting to the bench or being backup for injuries a pathway.

    We may as well just give up on the kids and flog them all on bringing in cheap backup instead. Saves having the arguments with people over whether we are sticking to the Southampton way.

    TBH I've lost a lot of interest with us just replacing the team with people that I've never heard of when it would be nice to feel proud to have "one of our own" in the first team to have a pretence that we are what we are trying to say we are.

    Makes me cringe when the media constantly talk up "What Saints do" when we aren't doing it.

    If someone's good enough they will break through, but harder to break through into a good PL side than in League 1. It has been said before that we have hit the gap between our golden generation and the next good things...a gap reflecting when we were facing dissolution (don't know if true, but have heard it said). And you only need a few of the many academy lads to make it for the academy to be a success...look at the money we made from Shaw, Lallana and Chambers in recent times. And the money saved on Targett and JWP.
