I would like to see Fassnacht start, drop Onel. Barnes will start, with the hope he can hold up the play and get us further up the pitch. They may opt for Onel and play more counter attacking football as Southampton will have the ball for the majority of the possession.

Thanks, good to get clarification. Im not sure whether I could of slept tonight not knowing 😉

For me personally the worry with Krul is he isnt a great kicker and flaps under pressure playing out from the back, which then in turns worries the defenders in front of him. Gunn is more than able but appreciate if he does get injured Reyes is a slight unknown and its not really known (or should I say I dont know) whether he can communicate well enough in english to command a back line as well.

Freeing up some wages in a swap deal for Idah for Kane. #welcomehomeharry

I cant say one scrappy goal has overly changed my opinion on Idah. I hope he improves his confidence and improves his positional play. On Rowe he was always going to take time to get up to fitness post injury and played well for 45 minutes. Im more confident of him having a good season rather than the former.

I was thinking the same the other day, but Im not a fan of Krul on the pitch, off it we are more secure in my view 🙂 Not adverse to him leaving. Reyes sounds an able No 2.

This.

Yep its pure speculation which you could say about any of our players currently.

Yes we can afford to turn that down for Sara because a) he is worth more than figure b) we need to show some level of ambition.

Dont live your life in fear 🙂

I think we have planned for life with Omo and with Sara for this season, at least. Theyve said previously no incoming unless outgoings, surely they have to add depth and quality to the team if we are ever going to stand a a chance. Sorenson / PP and other bit part players really dont make the grade for me.

I cant see us selling Sara currently, regardless of interest. Its my view it would break our season before its even started. I would see him as an integral part of the side.

And on that matter has the Quag retired yet....?

Stop being so positive 😉

I agree with you in respect of Nunez and SA Players in general needing time to adjust. However I imagine if I were webber you would look at a couple of loans so who can add value from the off and some SA players who we can give the luxury of some time to.

Its August and its raining. However the historical interest we have held in some Brazilian players dont amount to vast sums, so if they are legitimate interests I wouldnt be surprised if we move for those with little capital involved.

Yes I think we can assume if we lose Max for 7.5m / Ombamodiele for circa £20m and Rashica we will be aiming to replace with at least 3/4 signings to improve the quality throughout the team.

Not that im really interested in discussing Farke and Leeds, but you are right in what you say. Leeds have deeper pockets and better resources than us. Farke will be given the opportunity and backed accordingly. If he doesnt get results pretty sharpish he'll be out the door.

He's not played too much of late and released by Nice. I cant see him being Prem quality anymore, but will be an interesting watch (not that im going to watch Luton at all this season)

I still wonder whether Mosquito and Nathan are still long term interests for us and we'll make a move when we have some cash, albeit the latter is a RB and apparently we arent pursuing another RB. If they do Fisher may go out on loan.

I think most leftback options dont have long left on their contracts though. I think thats PP & Dimi.

Im sure more details will be announced in due course. Seeing at they arent planning any additions at RB it will be interesting to see where they deem the money is spent. You'd probably expect a LB if Sam M is departing and a real quality midfielder would help to cover any injuries to Sara and an improvement on Kenny M.

Sooner the deal gets done the better. Only interested to hear about incomings

Pukki and Max both competent players who have dropped off over time for us. Max needs to move on and £12m is decent business if that figure is true. Hopefully we get a couple of decent permanent options in and some shrew loan business as well & we will be in relatively good shape.

Thats a very early call on Fisher seeing he has only played several times in pre season, but I admire your optimism. The initial signs are encouraging mind you.
