Until we know what is going to happen with Stewart this thread seems premature.

I’ll pass thanks. Looked poor in the Championship last time and has done nothing at Juve or Everton to suggest any improvement. His whole reputation is propped up by four goals in 2023.

Koki Ogawa from Nijmegen (NEC) is a very handy player. Watched them a lot this season, but we might struggle to prize him away as they had a brilliant season and managed to make the champions league. Maybe not prolific enough with 8 in 26, but his all round play has been superb and with good supply he could do a job with Larin.

Sullivan off as well as Brady , much speculation to ensue !

If the deal was right I'd take him back.

Always rated Matsuki, He looked the business during preseason, I was shocked when was he dropped. I think he is quality 👌

You're comparing an apple with a chicken there mate. Police brutality, and poor judgement by a copper, aren't remotely comparable. This situation isn't helped by people making ridiculous comparisons like that.

Decent player. Don't think Moyes is getting the best out of him at Everton.

A Championship club being kicked out of the playoffs for cheating is ‘front page’ news. A Championship club signing a goalkeeper isn’t.

Can we change this thread name (we all know he'll come back at some point) to Charlie Alcaraz. I keep thinking it's a really irrelevant tennis thread on the Saints forum!

The best bit of the interview.

God, some of the posters on here are so immature. I was being serious! I doubt that he would come though...

Yeah I agree with this - what I saw in Matsuki was a player growing in confidence as he adopted the role(s) and instructions given him by Tonda. And the point of this coming season is to build on last seasons incredible unbeaten run -surely the best way to do that is to utilise the players that were involved in that run.

Adam Armstrong

Difference being that they only showed up in the Championship section, whereas everything else has been front page I guess.

Hope Scienza’s best man didn’t waste his time taking the piss out of THB in the speeches

What like Bompey do you mean?

THB's tailor needs sacking unless THB couldnt be bothered shortening the arm length of the suit he bought from Moss Bros. Wearing plimsolls to his wedding is definitely improper. In his defence his new wife is a corker and he is/was a rock in our back line and will continue this form into married life!!

IF...we have hired as rumoured some badass lawyers who know what they are about could it be argued that a precedent has been set re punishment...so don't do it again Tonda or else? Unless of course there is a caveat there,nless they said watch out next time someone gets caught, or you're Southampton, or Ratfink Gibson has dirt on someone at the FA.

Think he's one of those valuable players who are versatile and can play in a number of positions. I think there is a lot more to come from Matsuki who never seems to have a bad game.

In what way? Both signings were reported on their site yesterday within minutes of the news breaking.

Would have thought we’d be looking to push two of them (BBD and Downs) out of the door

Well I highly doubt it's the only thing on the FA's list of things to deal with and it's a very busy period for them in general. Might be that they've not actively started the investigation yet or it might be that they're digging deeper into the context where they're not bound by time constraints. Either way I don't think we'll hear anything until the point he is charged/not chatged, and if it's the former we'll then get more details on timelines I reckon. Re Bielsa I'm pretty sure he wasn't charged at all and issued with a warning instead.
