What happened to our feeder club?

Southampton hasnt produced many players for us in a while, feels like we haven't poached anyone from them in quite some time. They must be missing us dearly by now.
 
Anyone know how we are sorted as far as HG numbers go?......someone has suggested this may be part of the Gordon thing.

P.S. I don't want him either :emoticon-0112-wonde

We just signed Frimpong as HG, so probably depends on how many HG we're losing this summer

Think VVD was the last one

Tyler Dibling, who's only 19 was being touted by Southampton as a £100m player. :eek: Despite the the fact that he's only.played 34 senior games. Just had a quick look and there's no news anywhere about a transfer involving him.

If paying in the region of £100m, I think I would prefer Wirtz.

Yeah cause Soton have priced him out of the market already.

Like you said he's barely emerged. One season in the Prem, where he looked good for a handful of games and Soton are demanding a ludicrous fee. They've turned down £30m from RBL, £35m from Spurs, they want £100m!

His contract runs to 2027, so why wouldn't clubs wait till next season, see how he goes for another year and go after him next summer when Soton will have to sell or let him leave for nothing in 2 years time. And he'll still only be 20.

7 home grown first team squad.
Jaros
Gomez
Jones
Elliott
Bradley
Quansah
Frimpong

Plus Morton, Ramsay, Beck, Davies.

To be honest it’s not about having enough home grown in theory, it’s that can only have 17 non home grown

Alisson
Mama
Robbo
VVD
Konate
Tsimikas
Endo
Grav
Mac
Szobo
Gakpo
Diaz
Nunez
Jota
Salah
Chiesa

Thats 16
Add in Wirtz and Kerkez and get to 18 so would def have to get rid of 1.

Tsimikas is the obvious one.
Then one of Diaz/Nunz/Jota/Chiesa would free up 1 more spot potential new forward.

Home Grown

Depends on exits.

Club trained min 4 needed
Jaros (may be loaned)
Davies (new contract)
Elliott (could go)
Quansah
Jones
Gomez (could go)
Bradley

Association trained (also 4 possible but club trained trumps it)
Frimpong

So we can have 24 man squad maybe and that's fine.

B list then can be anyone at club for 2 full seasons and u21. (Nyoni yes, rio wazzit no.)

So
7 home grown first team squad.
Jaros
Gomez
Jones
Elliott
Bradley
Quansah
Frimpong

Plus Morton, Ramsay, Beck, Davies.

Absolutely.

Someone leaves soon or doesn't get registered.

It's one in one out on foreign players

But equally it's potential to decimate that.hg section
 
Angel Gomes is an interesting one. Leaves Lille at the end of the month and only Marseilles seem to be making him an offer.

Thought the English clubs would be all over him, being as he's English and an international. Frankly we should be making him an offer, Holding mid (maybe not a DM) is something we need to strengthen up

he was so bad last season that he was dropped plus he just wandered round the pitch like he didn't give a proverbial

Wonder if prem clubs unsure given he’s about 4 ft 4. Might get done in midfield in the prem.

TBF, why shouldn't they? If they don't want to lose him, make it worth their while off they have no choice but to let him leave
 
Talk new bid of £100m plus £13m so still below Leverkusen valuation, however also talk that was made earlier this week, so not sure if been further developments since as seemed like had pretty much agreed fee today.

Wonder if lfc upped it a few more £m and come to a compromise.

Sounds like they are going to settle on that .....£113m or 134m euros
