    I can't remember which home game it was last season (Wolves maybe?) but amongst JWP's blistering form at the end of last season there was one game where he found himself playing DM. And yeah, he was poor and the team was dreadful. We were overrun in the middle of the park for fun. A PL player, he is. A DM PL player, he is not.

    Think Fraser will be our 2nd keeper this season

    Wolves fans think he'll be fine working under a 'proper' manager and playing in a team that play football.

    He has the ability to. Alongside Neves and Dendoncker I expect he could flourish. Time will tell.

    I am quite surprised that so much business is being left to the last minute. It is quite frustrating to think back to one of the last Radio Solent commentaries where Adam Blackmore had predicted that as many as 13 players would have been shipped out and to see how many have actually gone. From recollection, the list did bit include Targett but I think he had Lemina as a possible. I would have thought Carillo, Austin, Stephens, Forster, Cedric, Hoedt, Elynoussi, Vestergaard, Boufal, Reed and maybe even Armstrong might have been moved on. I am surprised by Boufal's apparent transformation as I would have wanted to have cashed in. Think that there are plenty academy players like Slattery and especially Obafemi waiting in the wings who will be a surprise this season although I am going to cast my hat and predict Yann Valery will end up being player of the season.

    I think that Che Adams is a great acquisition but know nothing about Djenepo so I will wait and see. I had been expecting the central defence to have been totally overhauled and am a bit disappointed that the revenue from any sales has not really been there to allow Ralph to address the main issue that remains outstanding. We look a lot better as an attacking proposition yet I feel Ralph needs to get the defence sorted out asap if we are not to rely on the restrictive five at the back again . I would be concerned if this isn't addressed and a little disappointed that more appear not to have been done sooner.

    I was interviewed by the local journalist at a jazz festival in France and he advised that the workshop I was on would ultimately be performing on one of the stages reserved for amateur groups. No one had explained this and my surprised response was reported verbatim which amused my colleges although it would have been deemed unprintable in an English rag.

    Vukovic has just started following Southampton on instagram and liked an article about him moving.

    It’s happening

    Total overhaul of the defence? We need a CB to play alongside Bedders and that's it. Valery, Bertrand, Bedders and Gunn are all fine.

    I'd gladly and proudly take either Yaya Banana (Olympiacos/Cameroon) or Kevin Lasagna (Udinese/Italy) at Saints.

    Are we actually talking about a 27 year old with no full international caps, and who has never previously in his career been subject to a transfer fee? Wtf is actually going on? Surely Reed or Slattery would be more deserving of minutes even if this is just a back-up.

    P.s. Bet he’ll be well pissed off that Forster has the #44 shirt!

    It is strange.

    The season hasn't started and yet all of my optimism has gone.

    We have not lived up to our statement about getting our new players in early.

    Our defence (which everyone knows we needed to shore up) has let us down so often that I have no confidence in any of them.

    We must be honest if our defence let in three are we really going to score four. No we ****ing ain't.

    My season ticket hasn't arrived yet so I am hoping that they have ****ed it up and I don't have one.

    This could all change in the next couple of days if we sign a GOOD central defender.

    It’s not an ideal situation but I think that’s a bit over the top. I’m still optimistic that we can have a good season, whether we sign a defender or not. The signs of improvement are there

    Blackmore seemed sure that we’ll get a central defender before the window shuts and we don’t need to have sold any of the current ones for that to happen

    This was on radio 5 prediction show tonight
