If it happens, do you think it's likely to be a permanent deal? He won't be flying there and back in a day, and while I appreciate medicals are sometimes done remotely, it's not often for (relatively) big money permanent signings.

It'd have to be a loan. They ain't gonna pay what we need to sell (~13m + I think so it's not registered as a loss) - especially when they can't give him a proper medical with their own team because he's the other side of the planet.

I think replacing Alcaraz with Brooks improves Southampton.

kinel leicester

that goal was a right old shower n all

he tackled the swansea man and ran it 50 yards didn't he? i'm not saying it was particularly refined or elegant

good pen stephy. and good work from pat to win it. no idea why he didn't pull the trigger earlier mind

it's actually a good spot from the ref - swansea defender does not play the ball at all, even if there isn't loads of contact on pat

pen!

warning shot there. KM and PD off for marc and cannon please enzo. don't be shy

why's kasey waving his arms about, it's your job to stay onside buddy

yunus on for dennis

another shocking miss

dennis praet is a one-paced schlub, pass it on

no changes

great shot and save

cut off the passing lanes to winks and ricky and we quickly run out of ideas. need to be less shy about mixing up our play a bit if that's the case

our ability to play the ball out from the back has regressed

how long has pat been back from afcon?

how've you missed pat!

Swansea look like they haven't warmed up... maybe they've put their missing fans out on the pitch?

haha easy as you like

I'd like to see him given more time playing from the wing. That's always been his position prior to joining us. He wont beat a man for pace like Abdul or Stephy, but he's clearly got great dribbling skills and can pass, so I think we could do a lot worse - especially during Abdul's ban.

Excellent second half after an abysmal first half. Well done citeh. And it’s taken me two full games against them to realise who Jay Stansfield reminds me of, but I’ve finally worked it out - it’s this fella:

That was a steaming pile of shit
