The trouble with him is that he also does tend to lose or give the ball away in dangerous areas. Something else he needs to work on.

BBD back to Derby makes sense.

The Benfica THB talk is nonsense. Their record fee was for Rios last year €25m and they moaned like fuck about that. Solak said the only time he would consider bids for key players would be ‘if they make me fall out of bed’ so he would likely want to double his money on Bellis - circa £40m.

I've booked southern Spain for next August. Down the bottom near Gibraltar or Algericas there will be over 4 minutes of totality.

yeah it's a weird sentiment, if anything the last 3 transfer windows have been extremely productive in my eyes and I'm confident we can identify good players, at the same time I really dont want to lose THB, I'd rather we lost any other player than him, I think he's the most important player in the squad.

If he doesn't want to come to little old Southampton, we can do better IMHO.

Why is that clear? Signing players like Jander and Scienza shows the current recruitment team is capable of spotting good players (even if they have mistakes like Downs).

Blackburn, Sheffield United, Birmingham, Bolton, Cardiff, Derby, Charlton, Boro, Norwich, Watford, West Brom...

Fuck I’ve just been sick 🤢

Bandwagon Burnham talking about banning the use of disposable BBQs... If people are too thick to work out for themselves when not use them, they're going to be too thick to adhere to any rules banning them. Maybe just ban thick people from going outside. Sorted.

His confidence is clearly lacking at the moment particularly with shooting but he's a great crosser of the ball. If we get him the ball in the right places and he gets the ball in the box the Larin and Mubama are going to enjoy their seasons a lot as will we.

Agreed, we’ll become Swansea, Stoke, etc.

I said if we don’t go up. if THB is sold we won’t get anyone in as good, clearly.

Not never, but statistically a team with the benefit of parachute payments is iro 3 x more likely to gain promotion.

So the team that over the last 25 games (with this manager) that won more points than anyone isn't good enough to go up? Get a grip lad. If THB is sold then I would expect that a more than capable replacement is lined up. Quarshie not really being used in pre-season suggests hes nowhere near being a consideration so we probabaly need two CB in reality if THB is sold.

Yes, won’t work like that as a team not good enough for promotion will be almost entirely replaced with players no where near as good overall. The change and disruption will be huge. as I said, not going up this year will probability mean we stay down for a very long time, like most other sides before us, including Coventry.

Looks like Messi might be retiring, so if we were waiting for him, we should move on to the next target.

That would give us a lot more money than Coventry used to get up

Yeah, that won’t be us after selling half a first team next summer.

what do you mean not as he once was,the guy just keeps making allegedly sound bites that very very really there any fact or truth behind assumptions,and talk bollocks only count the so called top 6 and completely dismiss any other league

Point being... they did it without parachute payments

Yeah, it's very easy.......especially if your centre forward is Big Ron 🙂

Adam Blackmore has been clear all summer that we won't be standing in the way of the players who have been here longer than a season (Charles and THB.) I do think he will go but I was hoping it might be less likely given it's so close to the end of the window. Tbh I'd have preferred him to go in the first few weeks if he's off.

Yeah good point. How long did it take them? 25 years?
