Let's see, I'm not convinced he's going anywhere. But your point is descriptive of past form for Saints.
With Bertand, Romeu and Che injured (or at least not fit enough to start), that XI is our best available XI in my opinion. (Or rather I should say that the 10 outfield players are our best available. I really don't care with Alex and Fraser.)
I was debating between Tella and Redmond. And I really wouldn't been fussed if it was the other way round. As a wide man, it's Tella all day long for me. But as a forward, I just, just have Redmond shading it.
