I'll put it in here as well. Forster very likely to withdraw from the England team with a slight injury.
 
Hope he does not blow his chance to become no.1...
Ha, Hart will always be Number one. Forster has a felt a pull in his upper leg. Which meant he couldn't kick properly or come out a lot.

I didn't see any of today's game, but I've noticed Fraser looking uncomfortable in games since the Prague match, especially after kicking.

Good job he's got a couple of weeks to sort it out then. Mind you, Alex looks a safe back up, it's a while since we've had such a good no. 2 keeper!

Romeu praises Puel's tactics especially in his squad rotation. Hasn't rotated you much though...has he Oriol? <laugh>

Rightly so. He's got better and better. Eventually, I should imagine Mo Gimpel will show Puel his performance chart, and back he'll go onto the sub's bench for a game. Years ago they'd play every 3 days, week in, week out, but not at the pace the game is played nowadays. And Oriol doesn't exactly have quiet games either.
 
Southampton have the 20th most expensive squad in world football. Quite surprised by that personally, even with the wealth of the premier league.

On the other hand, we're the 9th & last Premiership team on that list. That's about right in terms of where I expected us to be in terms of PL spending. We're in the world top 20 because the PL as a whole is awash with cash. The fact that I can't really think of anyone else who should be on that list, but isn't is even more surprising.
