I reckon that probably spells an end to the Butland deal

Who?

 

[olddellboy]

there is bad news about the Gazzanigga deal!!



Forecast is going to the Gills on a season loan!

PSV tell Sky they have rejected a bid from Southampton for Lens:

I wonder how much we bid. Reckon if we signed him it'd break our record again.

Yeah I saw that we'd have to offer £8m to sign him as PSV couldn't turn that down.

Still think another keeper will come in.

Still think another keeper will come in.

Agreed. Think it will be some-one time served though. A Craig Gordon type!

 

[Saintjoey]

Interesting though that we decided to send Forecast there rather than let Gazza stay there for another year to develop. Either NA thinks he can challenge SKD or his development will be more efficient at Saints without first team football

I think its a no-brainer really. Davis is still no.1 and will probably remain so this season unless something drastic happens. But, we needed someone who could step in straight away if Davis was injured or suspended. Forecast simply wasn't good enough. I suspect he'll play a few cup games and so-on meanwhile getting great coaching.

I'm getting excited! Had a dream last night about our first match - Off to place a bet - Manchester City 0 - Saints 3

So our first team and backup as it stands (I know this is 4-4-2 but **** it, we might stick with that). No particular starter/backup, before people shoot me over that. Just making sure we have starter/backup in each position.

GK: Davis, Gazza
RB: Clyne, Richardson
CB: Fonte, Hooiveld, Seaborne, Stephens
LB: Fox, Harding, Shaw
RM: Guly, De Ridder, Chambers
CM: Morgan, Cork, Davis, Hammond, JWP, Chaplow
LM: Lallana, Punch
ST: Lambert, Rodriguez, Sharp, Lee.

Chambers at RM too.

Chambers at RM too.

Forgot about him, but yep him too.

Shouldn't you remind yourself of the PL squad size? Some people reckon there are still three more signings to come so some of these will have to go.

U21s don't count towards the squad size.

 

[SL Saint]

I make it 5 u21's, but 6 if Clyne is included. Not sure the cut off date is for u21s.

"Clubs will be able to supplement their squads with unlimited additional players under the age of 21 on 1st January in the year in which the season commences."

Season commences in 2012, Clyne was 20 on 1st January 2012

Did you check the date?

 

[MMJ]

so we have room for 5 new signings, otherwise we'll include players like butterfield, barnard etc
