    Going on to the list of expensive flops with Osvaldo and Gaston unfortunately.

    That is strange. The article, or more likely the source, sounds very biased.
    Maybe boufals agent?

    I want boufal back, I think he will actually suit hughes counter attacking, low percentage system far better than the safe, possession based system he's been playing in.

    But it's becoming more likely weve seen the last of him sadly.

    Oh dear. Sounds like we officially have another dud record signing.

    If only he'd been given the chance to start six games in a row! <whistle>

    If that's true, some in the Saints dressing room really don't like him. Shame that yet another hugely talented player on our books never really got going.

    I can only see up to four "first-team" players potentially leaving this summer. And two of them just happen to seemingly fall into that category (Carillio being the other).

    (FYI, the other two players are Fraser and Clasie. Now that survival appears secure, thus ruling out clubs lower down the pecking order, I think Cedric and Bertrand have been too poor in recent weeks to attract a move away. And there's nothing else in our squad to make the big boys interested these days.)

    Sounds like he’s made enemies with a couple of important players.

    Tadic would be one of them at a guess.

    Agreed on those four. I'm not expecting any of the following to leave but I wouldn't be shocked if Davis left and if we sign another striker we might let another one of ours go. We badly need to upgrade at CB so I could see one of them going too. Yoshida or Stephens probably.

    Mind you it's still a bit early to say. Some of it depends on how Hughes (or whoever) plans to play next year. Hughes has obviously played around with our formation to try and get the best out of the players we have but if we're signing a few players he may use a different system.

    If it was Hughes stopping him from training after Sophie had apologised twice, I would be pretty pissed as that shows a vindictive side. However if it is the players making a stand then Sophie has to go, stoke went down this year as too many players did not give a **** about the club

    Davis will go to Rangers with Gerrard. Bertrand's transfer is agreed, he will leave. Cedric i think has been too poor to leave.
    Carrillo & Forster will only go if we find someone mad enough to pay their wages.

    Id say Boufal depends on who our manager is

    Never cared much about Boufal. All show, no go. Best position for him would be on instagram, showcasing his skill of uppies with marbles, fruit, or buisciuts.

    Oh and that article is likely bullshit. No quotes or evidence presented, could just be all made up!

    I have said it more than once that we seem to do well when sign players for upto £12m. They mostly play well and well sell them for a good profit.

    When we pay more than that say £15m they have all been failures. Strange

    Gaston wasn’t a flop. He’s going to go on to great things, you mark my word.....

    Do you think clubs would not want Ryan based on those recent weeks? I think they’d still be keen as he is quality and they would surely look beyond some poor form
    And take into Consideration the club situation. Funnily I’m not so worried if Cedric goes as I think he is easily replaced.
