    Homegrown and one of the first names on the team sheet, plus now he’s captain it shows the faith Ralph has in him.

    Was one of our players of the season last year but has fallen short of that a bit this season. I think he has potential to get better and more consistant but we can't afford to miss out on the money if he doesn't sign an extension here

    Just been reading that some spurs fans getting excited by the chance of PEH joining them? Do they not realise he is no upgrade on what they already have?

    Which comment was this? You are clearly getting confused between James Ward-Prowse, aka Mr Southampton, who has just signed a 4-year contract extension, is our new team captain, and clearly isn’t going anywhere; and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, who has 2 years left on his contract, hasn’t been offered a new one, and is looking for a move.

    Ah well, either way I can’t see Carlo wanting either. I am a fan of JWP, but we have a similar level/type in Davies.

    Pierre wants Champions League football, so he’s hardly going to move to Goodison, is he?

    You could always swap him for DCL though...

    DCL isn’t after championship football so can’t see him wanting the move :bandit:

    Once or twice in a while.... I would love Saints to target and sign a player relatively quickly.... it’s always been so so painful watching in as fans.

    I know finances are tight and we need to get people off the payroll, blah, blah, blah..... would just be nice to back up the positive stuff of the extensions of Ralph, Smallbone and the rumoured extensions of Romeu, Bertrand and JWP with players that we actually want/see a future with.

    OK, Pierre maybe off, but maybe the odd Salisou with a dash of Maehele would push things through the roof...!! (I appreciate we really need to put any relegation worries to bed too)

    Not really transfer related but over the past few seasons we often seem to have key players who don’t have ‘key’ numbers.

    We currently have these squad numbers available: 2, 3, 6, 8 & 11. I don’t know why but I prefer it when our best players have a 1-11 number!

    New RB for no.2. Bertrand to take no.3, Bednarek for no.6, JWP for no.8 and Redmond for no.11 <cheers>

    “His entourage”?

    Don’t like the sound of that

    Try and find a footballer without an entourage these days.

    No we only want to sign players who will be here forever and won’t jump at the chance to move to a much bigger club should it arise. They must have no ego or entourage and also must be really good
