Howe seemed to think Matt Targett was worth £100k p/w. So maybe they won't buy a left back. Or be able to.

I mean, last Summer I was convinced we were at least two key players short of a decent season - we know how that ended up. So whilst I'm underwhelmed with two signings - though both are top players - I'll have to trust in Howe to know what he's doing, right?!

I just think we should use the platform; what good is a CL qualifying season, if the following year we exit at group stage and finish 8th? There's an argument that would suggest we could spend bigger next Summer, regardless, because of the FFP restrictions I suppose. All a balancing act.
I have no problem with Targett playing more regularly. Howe thinks Burn is better option so Targett is good back-up. Also have Dummett as 3rd option. Think we need a pact centre back first. Would be good to have a quicker centre back as we lack pace throughout the defence.

It’s probably got a lot to do with regulations which I can’t be bothered to look into, home grown etc.
 
Livramento not in the Southampton squad and rumours are that our offer was accepted yesterday.
Yeah, the player himself has confirmed he is fit but rumours are that he had been left out of the squad for Southampton's first match of the Championship season. If true, this looks like a big sign that we may be close to a breakthrough in talks to sign him.
 
Good understudy for Trippier. Decent signing.

Again, still one or two light in terms of real quality, but it's noted we're a bit better than the Ashley days.

Trippier is a dinosaur now so seems a good move. I have no idea if this kids any good , but everyone seems to rate him.
