I'm with Dan, I think the Clyne deal will fall on it's ass! Probably will end up priced out by an 11th hour head turning offer! Doesn't help the squad is in france/switzerland right now although I know Nigel doesn't negotiate. Other clubs do seem to complete deals quicker than we do, I'm sure we will get a few in just would have been nice to flash a bit of cash and get the team bedded in nice and early....different owners same old Saints haha :-)

They don't, we just don't read about it.

God I really hope we get a right-midfielder in. Unless of course we're changing the formations around a bit.

We could do with some width on both sides unless we plan on playing strikers wide. Never know, we wouldn't be the first team to try it. Unless of course Puncheon, De Ridder, Shaw and Chambers start pulling up trees.

I think we're fine on the left, considering Fox and Lee are both more than capable of playing in Lallana's position.

Maybe we'll use the classic Jake Watts formation of 4-2-1-3?

-----------------Davis--------------
FR-----------JF--------JH-----------DF
-------------MS--------SD------------
------------------AL-----------------
-------JR---------RL---------TL------

I think flexibility and fluidity are both key, especially in games we should be winning.
 
The best teams don't rigidly stick to a formation. There's no point in religiously sticking to 4-4-2, though I do still think it has its merits. Versatility is important these days.
 
Gillingham have accepted a bid of roughly £2m from a Premier League club for 20 year old Argentinian keeper Paulo Gazzaniga who is highly rated.

The club is believed to be Southampton according to Gillingham fans.
 
I'm fine with variations of 4-4-2, I'm also fine with 4-4-2. What I'm not fine with is shoving players out of position just to fit new formations - for example a few people seem dead set on shoving Rodriguez on the wing.
 
Are we just gonna buy youngsters?

It's works on FM,but will it work in real life?

I like the idea of signing youngsters,but we need 1 or 2 more experienced players.
