By ‘very soon’ LA, what sort of timescale did you have in mind?

Interesting last tweet from Stringer. Anyone hear the interview? In short Strings says Brendan said after the match that there’s still not been a bid anywhere near the club’s valuation...

We are so lucky to have Tielemans! What a player he already is. What a player he could become!

If anyone doubted our need for a goalscoring left footed winger, all doubt has been removed in 35 mins in Cambridge

The two who’s surnames begin with ‘G’, and Diabate if we’re counting him?

Ha! He may well be! But if we want to minimise the risk of injury or fatigue later in the season he’ll need a rest now to recover from an 11 month season.

If he leaves it means our starting the season with Hamza while Ndidi recovers from Afcon. Just saying.

Keep.

For the record, I’m not. Especially when selling to a direct rival for a top 6 place.

Except he can pass to a teammate. [Sorry Danny, couldn't resist #legend]

Not gonna happen. One of the two best RBs in the league & that’s where he’ll start most games.

What does your source do about stoppage time?

We all get team news an hour before kick-off...

Missed out Elder & Diabate...

Are we nearly there yet?

That's the problem - he doesn't fit the Rodgers 'profile' does he?

Not 100% against Townsend @LinekersApples, but surely he's not the principal target ie the £30-50m winger?!?

And Elder. And King, sadly

Rachid playing like he’s been told he has 45 mins to save his job!

Agreed!

Not being snarky but it’d be interesting to see where Southampton finished in VVD’s first season in England. He wasn’t too shabby from the off.

The writing appears to be on the wall but I find myself strangely relaxed as to how it pans out. I have complete confidence in the leadership & management of our club (not something I’ve been able to say often in the last 50 years). And I’ve no doubt that if they accept an offer for Harry we’ll have a better squad overall as a result - a bit like last summer when the sale of Mahrez saw not a direct replacement but sound investment in other positions which saw the club progress. I’d love Harry to stay, but it won’t be the end of the world, or our top 6 dreams, if he goes.

I’d rather see Evans - Soyuncu!

I’d wondered about that too. BR has said Perez can play all the forward positions so I guessed he’d move from his accustomed role at NUFC to accommodate the left footed right winger?
