    Yes their one best player. We’ve sold 3 starting 11 players and loaned 1. We don’t just sell one best player, we sell all our good players. Which no is not common practise.

    Not this one then, he would have ghosted through defences.

    Again my point is that it seems like everyone wants to leave. How is that not a concern?

    Because that's how a club of our size can become a PL Top 10 team again and competing at the right end of the table.

    Are you seriously saying there isn’t a single player from last season who wouldn’t have bolted out the door if they could have? Was there any player you can think of that showed up week after week playing for the fans and the club and acting like it wasn’t acceptable and tried to stand out amongst the sea of **** or did they all drop their heads and hide?

    Everyone that is wanted by a premier league club in a World Cup year, that has an offer from a premier league club, wants to leave a Championship club. Hold the front page!

    If it wasn't a WC year, we might have been able to resist bids and convince Fernandes to stay for one season.

    I’m glad that I am at that age where my “being angry” at my chosen football club, for the decisions they make, has been reduced to the raising of my eyebrows, the rolling of my eyes and the occasional tut.
    I can sometimes be reduced to muttering FFS, but I say that about a lot of things, these days, so it’s not necessarily football driven, just me being a potty mouth.
    As Nigel Adkins used to say “Control the controllables”.

    And the Premier League champions lost their academy grown star right back for nothing. He ran his contract down. If Liverpool can’t keep TAA do people really think we can keep Dibling after relegation.

    And that’s before discussing the big problem - the agents. We knew what we were getting bringing in a Mendes player

    Didn’t Real pay for him - £8m? I get your point though.

    He wasn’t going to sign a contract though. With his boyhood club who were also premier league champions.

    The ChatGPT summary of this was interesting. Playing with ChatGPT is quite fun as you can ask for scout style reports and comparisons with other players

    I asked a more general one for Scienza telling it I was a a Southampton scout and it asked at the end if I wanted a comparisons with existing saints wingers. Perhaps we should do that every time a rumour is posted or a “Saint” thread at the very least

    Sounds like a better version of Flynn almost.

    We got relegated.
    Had we stayed up, both Dibling & Fernandes would still be here.
