Six deal sheets were submitted to the PL by the 5pm deadline, giving them until 7pm to finalise the transfer. Doubt we're one of those six.

A new season you say?!

Then it's about time I reminded everybody that...

I hate Pompey and I hate Pompey, I hate Pompey and I hate Pompey, I hate Pompey and I hate Pompey, I am a Pompey hater.

Wahaaaay! Let the good times role!!

We are Southampton, the pride of the South...
 
He wants to leave

Yes, I saw where he said he wanted to go earlier this summer. But unless I missed something, it didn't sound particularly contentious. He wants to go, which is perfectly understandable. But I didn't feel like he was screaming to get out.

He would want to go to a decent club, and there are plenty of decent clubs that will want him, and those clubs will likely be able to pay the fee we need because we're amenable to him leaving. So it should all work out.

If it doesn't, then I think that means maybe Lemina isn't in as much demand as he thinks, and therefore those opportunities aren't as attractive, and so the best move for him would be to stay where he's at and raise his value, which he is perfectly capable of doing, and I think Hassenhuttl will give him a chance to do that.

Has there been a bid which the club refused but which Lemina wanted accepted?
 
"Scapegoat" is a little weird don't you think? But then you do have a weird thing of only calling me out. Are you going to support WBA?

But then you were the only person so obsessed with Austin that you posted negative stuff about him pretty much every game so it would be jolly odd for me to call anyone else out for it.

Yes, I'm now a Baggies fan. Because I could see there were two sides to Charlie Austin. That's the way things work.

I was dreading him being down to a short contract.

Me too. Thought the negative crowd reaction he had encountered would be a excuse for a run down. Luckily he seemingly really enjoys Ralphs methods, and after the last three gaffers it must be like a breath of fresh air to him!
Well done Redders, looking forward to seeing you smashing it up. <bubbly>

I called many players out for playing poorly. I called Austin out for his offield behaviour, there is nothing wrong with that.

If you want to defend a millionaire football players honour on a forum then go ahead. I guess Austin will get in touch with you and thank you some time.

I am not replying to you anymore after this as I won't **** up a thread over a stupid argument.

True. We have to keep our expectations realistic. We weren't going to turn everything around in one summer.

But IMO, this has still been a ****ty window. Maybe not disastrously bad if at least one of our attack signings pans out, but I still feel like they could and should have done better. Started off promising, then went fizzled out disappointingly.


I think that the formalities finish at 7pm tonight and that the transfers / loans to European clubs continues on to something like 27th August 2019. I am still hopeful that the centre back situation is addressed and am a bit staggered that this wasn't addressed during the window. Given that all Saints fans recognised that this was a problem 12 months ago, I am staggered that moves were not put in motion to rectify this is January let alone leaving it to the window. Of the current line up, only Bednarek strikes me as having a long term future with Maya being a steady back up. It is remarkable that Stephens has not been shunted out. I think Hoedt will still end up playing his football on the continent this season.

Like most fans, I was expecting the defence to have been beefed up and had anticipated seeing a greater number of payers disappearing out of the door. Got to agree with the sentiments of this post. Disappointing.
