Charlie Wayman

In some cases but not others

Well, he was part of the team that went down so hardly a surprise to him

Incomprehensible. How bad must the other centre backs be for him to be deemed worth keeping? A sad indictment of our success at recruitment and our efforts to dispose of players considered surplus to requirements. He should never have been allowed back into the building after being loaned out a few years ago.

Totally agree. Perhaps it was his only PL option if he wanted to return to London. No way would he have had an offer from Chelsea or Arsenal and there would have been mutual antipathy towards any thought of a move to Spurs. Is WHU a better option than Palace or Fulham? IGiven the choice Fulham would have been the best bet, the most stable of the three and likley to stay in the PL for a few more years longer.

Hunch or Hope? Still may be stuck with this squad whether he likes it or not; as we have seen before none of our previous managers have been able to get a recognisable tune out of this lot so the chances of him doing any better are slim. No doubt he was led to believe that he will be able to cherry pick this squad, add some decent quality newcomers of his own choosing and bin the dross. It's our only hope and probably his as well. Good luck with that Will!

All of them.

Thanks to those who posted the friendly matches highlights. Worth watching even if there are too many titred old faces hanging around the place. The long awaited clear out is taking time. Hopefully Still is using these games to assess the whole squad before getting out his pruning shears. Not sure I can see an identifiable system of play yet from Still, seems all a bit kick-and-rush with players playing their own games largely on instinct. Surely though we will not be starting with the likes of Bree, Manning, Stephens, Armstrong and Fraser

So no word on Damion Downs then? Hope he is not so forgettable on the pitch.

The lad is a bit of an enigma. he's already had one shot at joining a big club - the World Club Champions no less - but hated the experience and came running back to St Mary's with his tail between his legs. Now we are asked to believe that he will not sign a new contract. The only way that makes sense is for his agents head to be prevailing over the players heart.

Of course he won't be leaving, the guy has been out injured for 12 months so will have no suitors unless or until he can prove that all that is behind him.

Ramsdale will stay, I heard a whisper from a friend. Not sure I'd agree.

A shed load of money, a luxury beach villa and very low taxes, what's not to like? Must have been a tough decision.

They need to get a move on, the new season will be upon us before you know it. It's a familiar pattern with Saints, lots of rumours and speculation with little follow up and then an almighty panic at the last minute to get people out the door - usually not very successfully - and buy anybody who happens to be roughly what we want and cheap. The sort of players that "have always wanted to be here" (nobody else wants them!) and prove to be useless within a matter of weeks.

He's a great finisher.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! FFS Just when you think things can only get better….

Should I have heard of him? Well, it makes a change from saying "I've never heard of him"

Fantastic news. Many more need to follow him out the door. Useless purchase.

Gosh! I didn't know you were that rich Whitey

Yep its all on ChatGPT, it told me the same thing in the same words except I am old enough to remember the White Star Line

need to use BBC Fact Checker

Does that mean we cruise to the title this year?

Sometimes two and two do make four
