What to take from this stroll in the park? Great value for £3, thank you CCFC. Excellent commentary but a bit OTT in their admiration of Saints. Cardiff were woeful like rabbits caught in headlights. Big Mick for the chop very soon? That or the drop, no guts, no fight, no clue. We did it without poster boy! Now then? What are we still paying Ings for? Seriously. Obafemi really is crap. Salisu is a bit of a curate's egg, let's hope Vestergaard stays. Valery was Valery as always. Some very nice line breaking passes leading to our goals, looks like we are learning at last. Even Adams. If Romeu and Diallo work together on the details of their partnership we will have a really decent central midfield. Love Tella; hope Theo can keep up this new found enthusiasm. We will not win the PL title

Jack Stevens would have been the better, cheaper and more appropriate choice and dare one say the more obvious one.

Some clarity needed here, wasn't Kelvin Davis supposed to be our "transition mentor" to help the young players step up to the fist team and also to deal with their social concerns? Perhaps he is on his way out the door. I mean how much is the job of putting out the cones before a match worth?

Please stop posting for a few weeks young man, you are getting on my nerves with your unfounded monotonous conspiracy theory nonsense. Either that or I will reluctantly place you on ignore. Being a boorish smart-arse really isn't all that attractive as a personal attribute.

Ralph has always insisted that Ings will be here next season. If he has been true to his word then the club has probably refused offers and insisted on him staying to see out his contract. Of course if he leaves on a free next summer but his goals keep us up this season then it's money well wasted. There is also an outside chance that Saints might defy the odds and compete within the top ten, in which case we become a far more attractive proposition for new players to join next summer. Not sure that would entice Ings to stay mind you, as we have said before he is probably looking for a pension top-up at a big club to see out his career.

Wishful thinking in my opinion. Whenever has SFC done the sensible and obvious thing. Suspect our window is done.

Mostly about adding miles to the legs without too much danger of injuries. Good to see Elyo start but no sign of the lanky Dane. How long a break is the guy allowed?

Complete tosh! Don't embarrass yourself.

I doubt my wife would know who Harry Kane was if he sat next to us on the bus

Neither of these statement are true.

We used to call this common sense.

I like a lad with a bit of character and Mario seems to be quite the lad. Love that perma-smile. We need more of these and less creased brows and solemn stares this season. I would love see a fairy tale ending to this saga with the lad suddenly coming good for Saints and becoming an outstanding midfielder. Nice would be the best solution all round if he does leave, we have good relations with them and for Mario (arguably) Nice will be a somewhat more exciting place than Portswood or Shirley to shop in and go clubbing.

Certainly missing today as was Lemina, pictures can tell many thousands of words. Having said that Theo also was a no show so who really knows what's going on. Elyonoussi seems very active and happy maybe he knows something we don't? Repling to Wimbourne Saint (below) Thank for pointing that out. I think you are right unless these guys have image rights! The only ones that feature many time each session seems to be Forster & Stevens.

We have plenty of defenders with two left feet or two right feet. It would be nice to have at least one with one of each.

These youngsters have read the script, play for Southampton and you have a better than evens chance of advancing quickly into PL football. Do that well and you are more or less guaranteed a big money move to a top club like er... Chelseas?

If he is on their list of targets but lower down then they don't really want him do they.

Inclusivity means women and men competing equally for places in PL teams. There are women only series in motor racing now but why? There have been quite a few successful women GP drivers over the years. It's more to do with opportunity than skills.

The OS is certainly bigging up women's football these days but frankly it leaves me cold, I have no interest at all. Presumably it provides a helpful distraction from the total lack of activity in the men's transfer market.

This is one of the daftest post you have ever written if you don't mind me saying so.

Grealish always remind me of Le Tissier, too often flattering to deceive. Not quite fitting in with England. Never quite delivering enough to become an all time great.

Best not to make silly offensive comments when obviously you have no idea what she does or how well she does it.

Posting tables without comment is a waste of time. What point(s) are you illustrating?

I'd swap Vest for a decent cup of tea.

Don't dismiss it lightly. For me and you, yes but rich people especially rich young footballers have a life-style that is beyond anything we can imagine. Everyone tends to live just beyond their means and rich young footballers will be no exception. If you have to retire at 32 (say) but are still socially active the total loss of income could be a huge blow for the unprepared - mortgage to meet, kids at posh schools, supercars to run etc, etc Most of their income is taxed at the highest rate and over time inflation will eat away at any "nest egg" they have accumulated.

Ings will be very well aware of his own frailty and therefore longevity in the game so is looking for a much bigger pay day than we can offer to secure his retirement should it come early. Money may matter to him far more than game time right now. On the flip side it will be an expensive gamble by any club that takes him on which inevitably will limit the number of suitors.
